GAIS (German American International School)'s 8th grade class is full of drama in the eyes of new student Evelyn Phillips. After her parents force her to embrace her culture she lands in this new school, not knowing anyone. Alexa Robins is her guide to "GAYS" (as the students call it) where her new classmates include a boy every girl is crazy over, the only guy who isn't into soccer, and an array of dramatic girls and their queen bee, Zoella Kristens. The students GAIS have many secret dramas, and Evelyn is ready to unlock all of them.
