Potshots, hostilities, and a battle cry of no surrender no retreat begin to crumble when a little thing called love creeps in. The hearts of the arrogant mistress of the estate and the two belligerent hillbilly boys that ruined it, find that perfection may not be all that perfect after all. “Surprisingly meaningful.” “What fun!”

This is the legend of Mike Buckerfield, a humble lad who can be kind of a demon but who is not a bad guy, overall. Because of his mom that totally doesn’t get it, our hero Mike is enrolled against his will into prestigious Wentworth Academy where tradition and academic excellence are as solid as it’s 1895 cornerstone. Bla, bla, bla. Who cares?Anyway, the snobby Academy is overrun by rich pukes with upturned noses that don’t drain properly. Although they are not nearly as dangerous as public school kids, they sniff a lot and Mike is pretty sure he will never like any of them, because who could?As if that isn’t bad enough, three teachers immediately start picking on poor Mike. They are: A. Ms. Shernick -The epitome of Evil. B. Mr. Proffitt - Basically a moron. C. Mr. Butler - A big, fat, plaid doofus. (And the lunch lady isn’t very nice either.) They don’t like Mike ‘s attitude, and to be fair, who could blame them? But the cool kids befriend our hero because Mike is as dangerous as jalapeno salsa and as exotic as a pet lion. Mike could actually have a chance at this school until his friends turn on him over an itty bitty little disaster and then everything turns to crap. Anyway, Mike is about to go berserk when the principal of the school (Mike’s natural enemy) gets really disgusted with Mike one day. He decides to do an experiment which turns out to be the most awesome consequence ever to happen to a nearly 13 year old...ever...
