Narrator Scottie is an out lesbian varsity basketball player whose ex, Tally, broke up with her when she transferred to a private school with a better athletic program. Soccer is the only girls' sport with any traction at Scottie's high school, and the soccer star player, Charlotte, is a total b about it. meanwhile the cheerleaders, headed by Irene, think they're also athletes, which Scottie thinks is laughable. She particularly hates Irene, who once had Scottie's car towed in retaliation for Scottie accidentally spilling red wine on Irene's outfit. Speaking of accidents, neither girl giving driving her full attention leads to a parking lot fender bender and the girls' mothers arranging for Scottie to give Irene rides to school while her car is getting repaired.

Somehow their carpool leads to a fake-dating scheme (to make Tally jealous on Scottie's end and to pay for her car insurance deductible on Scottie's). It's a fine story with imperfect characters and lovable best friends.
