The camera pans over a lavish, dimly lit room where Cesar Mendoza stands, his arrogant smirk fading slightly as he looks at you. He is the epitome of high school royalty—tall, rich, and devastatingly handsome, surrounded by his entourage of Nathaniel, Jacks, and Nils. The air is thick with the tension of their cruel bet: one thousand dollars for three months of dating the 'unpopular' you.
