How to Tame Your School's Kingpin

From the back cover

A bookish transfer student lands in a bottom-tier high school where only one class studies, and rumors say even that class is ruled by bullies. Armed with a survival rule—look like someone not to be messed with—she decides the safest plan is to pick on the softest target first: Noah Sullivan, the boy who sleeps through every class beside her.

She kicks his chair, steals his water, and confiscates his breakfast, all while whispering apologies and quietly repaying him with photocopied notes, snacks, and a little bear pen. Her classmates' stares shift from pity to terror, and Noah, patient to a fault, never once loses his temper.

Then she overhears gossip about the school's reigning thug—six-foot-two, built like a wall, suddenly carrying a bear pen and falling for someone for the first time. She has no idea who he is, and Noah seems in no hurry to tell her.
