Zeirana DeLanerio.
The outcast. The 'emo'. The bully and harassment victim. The weirdo. Freak.
Those are the nicknames that Zeirana has to put up with every day. Mostly from the popular girl, the player girl, the 'not-judged-even-though-she's-lesbian' girl.
Maya Tucker.
The player. The 'hot' girl. The bully. The popular. Hot-shot.
Those are the nicknames that Maya has earned for herself. She has worked hard, to sleep with almost everybody in her high school. Except the boys. She's a lesbian. Loud and proud. Though lesbian, she is not ridiculed. Rather, she is welcomed because her daddy and mummy are the big guys on the school board.
The two girls could not be more different, yet they are similar in so many ways. Where Maya is loud and proud in her sexuality, Zeirana is a closeted lesbian. Where Zeirana is gifted in the arts, Maya couldn't possibly be worse. Where Maya is popular yet not bright, Zeirana is the outcast yet brilliant. Where Zeirana is emo, Maya is bubbly and preppy.
They have never paid any attention to each other before, aside from all the times where Maya has bullied and harassed her.
But that changes when, over the summer before the coming senior year, Zeirana goes through some changes. Her breasts grew at least two sizes, she grew thinner yet stayed very strong and lean, her hair grew out of it's layered doo and is now perfectly curled, her lips are full and pink, her legs are long and lean, her waist; petite. She got rid of her glasses and switched to contacts. She joined the track and field team.
She.
Completely.
Changed.
Everybody thinks she's a new girl, even the teachers! But once, in her very first class, her teacher asks her to introduce herself, and everybody is in pure shock. Most of all, Maya, who had been perving on Zeirana ever since she first saw her that morning.
What will happen?
