Believe it or not, Trish Masters, honors student, tennis player and all-around preppy is falling in love with Colin McNamara. And guess what? He's falling in love with her. He's the high school's biggest clown—a rotten student who spends each afternoon at detention. So what do these two have in common? Nothing, according to Trish's best friends Janet and Rachael, who can't understand their friend's infatuation. nothing, according to Trish's worst enemy Mike Pilsner, a jock who longs for Trish for himself. And nothing, according to just about the whole school, where everybody is gossiping about Trish's reputation. A likely couple? Hardly. But Trish knows that she and Colin are meant for each other, because she knows something about him that no one else knows. And if she can just convince him to show his true self to the world as he has to her, their romance will truly be a wonderful thing.
