Overview

You've heard that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, right Well, forget that planetary ish—Omar and Claudia are from different solar systems. Meet Brooklyn transplant Omar ""T-Diddy"" Smalls: West Charleston High's football god and full-blown playa. He's got a ton of Twitter followers, is U Miami bound, and cannot wait to hit South Beach . . . and hit on every shorty in a bikini. Then there's Claudia Clarke: Harvard bound, straight-A student, school newspaper editor, and all-around goody-two-shoes. She cares more about the staggering teen pregnancy rate than about hooking up with so-called fly homies and posting her biz on Facebook. Omar and Claudia are thrown together when they unexpectedly lead (with a little help from Facebook and Twitter) the biggest social protest this side of the Mississippi. When a little flirting turns to real love, the revolt is on, and the scene at West Charleston gets real. Fast! The stakes are high, the romance is hot, and when these worlds collide, sparks will fly! Believe that!
