Emmi Fischer is a sweet girl with a big heart who tries to see the good in everyone. Unfortunately, she was proven wrong when she finds out her abusive boyfriend was two timing her for their whole relationship. She is scared to stand up to him, but she finds the courage to do so and breaks up with him after she punches him square in her nose.

Bring in Maddox Evans, a football player, the bad boy of the school, and Emmi's annoying tormentor during Geography. He notices Emmi's change in mood right away and when she asks him to not do his tormenting, he agrees. He shockingly becomes worried about the girl and notices she forgets to take care of herself most days. So, Maddox makes a deal with Emmi.

He makes sure she takes care of herself in return for nothing. Emmi is hesitant, but agrees to the arrangement.
