A clever, high-energy romantic comedy built on psychological games and mutual attraction, where two proud teenagers scheme to make the other confess first.

A high school girl and boy are part of the student council at a pricey school. They have a crush on one another, but have kept it under wraps so far. With awareness and an inkling of what the other one feels for each the challenge becomes to make the opposite side profess his or her love first.
