Mr. Perfect

Talia Michaelson is unpopular. It wasn't because she is a shy nerd or anything like that, actually she is a very active outgoing person. The problem is that in a school that worships jocks and girls who can do seven tucks on command, she can act. Talia has been the star of the Greenwood High arts department for the last four years. Even as a freshmen everybody knew she was going places. She has an enormous vocal range, is a ballet prodigy of sorts and is totally, completely over dramatic. Perfect for an up and coming actress who's probably destined to be the next Indina Menzel or Philippa Soo.
It was finally her senior year and all she could do was pray that Mr. Karns would decide to do the musical everybody knew she would kill the lead role of. Well the theater geeks knew at least. Everything is perfect. Wonderful. She is going to the Belle of Beauty and the Beast and nothing was going to stop her. Especially not a boy.
Carson Kline is the epitome of popular. There isn't a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes he hasn't gotten his hands on. He's the quarterback/captain of the football team, lacrosse team and basketball. He's supposed to get a scholarship at UCLA for one of these sports. The only problem is his grades. He isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Also, his resume consists of no other activities other than sports.
When he is strongly suggested/forced by his math teacher to ask for a tutor he meets the eccentric Talia who wants absolutely nothing to do with him. The problem is he wants everything to do with her. Why not try out for the musical, he can sing. Kind of. What's the worst that could happen?
