Being the most popular girl in school can be difficult. You have to deal with dumb rumors, people always expecting more from you, and can't go three steps without someone trying to talk to you. Meet Zara, she just happens to be one of these people. She's not what you expect though, Zara doesn't wear heels or go shopping every single day, no no. She's hot tempered, clever, and hates losing.
Of course, with there being a popular girl, there has to be a popular boy. Meet Leo. He loves attention, is sneaky, and also hates losing.
The only thing that differentiates Zara from Leo is their genders, which is probably why they hate each other with passion. No surprise they make a bet on the first day of junior year. When Leo challenges Zara to determine the true authority figure of the student body, they learn things about each other they never thought possible. Will they learn to understand each other? Who knows. Right now, all that matters is winning the bet.
