Lindsey Jackson, a junior in a typical Minnesota high school, has a wonderful life. She's the most popular girl in school, has a boyfriend, the most popular boy in school, Zayn Malik, and she is ready to graduate and start life venturing the world. Harry Styles, the most nerdiest kid in school, doesn't have an easy life. He's been bullied all of his life and he has no friends, not even the other kids that's on his chess team! Lindsey and Harry used to go out, only because Lindsey felt bad for him, so they are both on uneven terms. When Lindsey and Harry's worlds collide with an English class project, unexpected sparks start to fly. They both have to deal with their social statuses, Lindsey's horrible boyfriend, and fate to be together.
Harry Styles is agnostic from a heavy Christian upbringing. He doesn't get along with his step dad, whom is a regular church attender with strong religious views on life. His sister, an atheist and a university student, ran away from home and Harry hasn't been the same since. Noticing his slip in grades, his Chemistry teacher signs him up for a peer support group, where he finds a friend in Louis Tomlinson, someone who always blended in with his daily routine until now. Harry leans on Louis for support for both his grades and his family, but his mother is worried they're getting too close. When she makes him chose between a boy and his family, Harry is forced to make the toughest decision of his life, and he may just lose the only love he's ever known in the process.
