It's been two years since Dan Garret brought Logan Scott and Maddie Summers together. Or at least, that's how he looks at it. Since then, he's gone through a growth spurt that left him as tall and strapping as his father. Joining the basketball team not only makes him miss his beloved LARP games - it's turned him into the one thing he hates most, popular. He's also lost Zelda Potts, which is full of all kinds of suck since he can't seem to ditch the crush he's had on her for, oh, ever. Being a smart, tuba-playing junior with a "unique" fashion sense, popularity is not in the cards for Zelda. And she wouldn't have it any other way. Look what popularity did to her ex-friend Dan. When the hypocritical jerk epically embarrasses her in front of a gym full of people, she hatches a plan for revenge, but things don't work out the way she hoped. Instead she starts to see Dan in a different light. And that little crush she had on him back when they were friends? It's back.
