Ella Hudson-Woods is the nicest girl at Briarleaf High School. But kindness can sometimes become a target. When Orion Decker, the school's charming quarterback, pulls a cruel prank at the Winter Formal, Ella's world turns upside down. Soaked and humiliated, she escapes to the football field, where an unexpected visitor - a Fairy Godmother - offers her a chance to rewrite her fate. The Fairy Godmother says she can send Ella in the past to change everything from happening, and Ella accepts - and uses her mother's locket as collateral. So, Ella travels a month in the past and changes one thing: she ends up partnering with Dalton Kinslow on the big end-of-the-semester project in their Honors English class. The problem with this partnership is that Dalton is the school's biggest troublemaker and, coincidentally, the mayor's son.
