Meet Melody Alonzo. She's fifteen years old, she's in the tenth grade, goes to Red Valley High School, and lives in Colorado with her mom, dad, annoying little brother, Carter, and her lazy big brother, Nick.
She's known Michael Richards and Dylan Jackson since kindergarten, and she's hated them ever since. But in middle school when Michael and Dylan finally go to a different school, Melody couldn't be happier to get away from the two idiots she's always hated.

"How am I gonna deal with that idiot now that he lives next door to me!"
Well...let's see how this turns out...
