Detention Hearts

Life at Bayside High was always chaotic, but Madison Carter never expected to become part of the drama herself.

She's smart, sarcastic, and usually keeps to herself - the kind of girl who watches the madness around school instead of getting involved in it.

Until Zack Morris starts paying attention to her.

At first, it's harmless flirting in the hallways and teasing during class. Zack claims Madison is the only girl at Bayside who doesn't instantly fall for him, which only makes him more determined to get under her skin.

And honestly?

It's working.

What starts as playful banter slowly turns into sneaking off together during free periods, sharing milkshakes at The Max after school, and secret late-night phone calls that Madison swears don't mean anything.

But dating Zack Morris comes with complications.

Kelly Kapowski still has feelings for him. Slater thinks Zack's leading Madison on. Jessie keeps warning her not to trust him. And the entire school seems to have an opinion about their relationship before Madison and Zack even know what they are themselves.

For the first time in his life, Zack finds himself genuinely caring about someone instead of chasing attention or popularity. But when a rumor spreads through Bayside that Madison only got her spot on the school trip because of Zack, the pressure starts tearing them apart.

Now Madison has to decide if being with Zack is worth becoming the center of Bayside gossip.

And Zack has to prove he's capable of loving someone without ruining it first.

A nostalgic 90s high school romance filled with hallway drama, jealousy, first love, and emotional tension, Detention hearts is about finding something real in a place where everyone's always watching.
