Anastasia was the girl in school, who had, lets just say 'minimal' friends. Not many although many people did like her, she just didn't choose the people. She was tired of being hurt so often, by boys, family, and friends. She swore to herself she was done with boys but all of that changed when she met a boy, a boy named Dylan O'Brien. Anastasia had seen him around the city, but he was new at the school, he seemed almost mysterious to Anastasia, but she knew she wouldn't be able to stay away from him even if she tried. There was as if there was, a magnetic pull. She wanted him and she wanted him badly. As did Dylan.
Even without the pressure from his parents, Robert Jameson (although he prefers to be known as Bobby) is beyond clever. The problem is, brains don't earn you friends. And when you're surrounded by boys who care about the things you know nothing about and girls who wouldn't be seen dead with someone so uncool, you tend to spend a lot of time either alone or being bullied.
Angel Reeds is the worst behaved student in the school. Constantly getting into fights, talking back to teachers and not doing homework, she's far from being aptly named. But when you've got brains like Bobby has, you notice things. And he's noticed things about Angel. She never smokes. She never drinks. She never does drugs. And every other typical bad boy or girl in their school is obsessed with them. And she tries in school other than with homework - she and Bobby are both in the top class of their year. So Bobby can't help but think there's more to her.
Well, when Angel rescues him from a bully and declares herself his personal bodyguard (for some strange reason) Bobby figures this is his chance to find out.
