Features: At 14, Henriette (nickname "Henri") is the top math student in her class and a key player on the school's women's soccer team. By chance, she meets a blond, blue-eyed boy on the street and falls in love at first sight, secretly developing feelings for him. Henriette's close friend and confidante, Tanya, out of good intentions, provides incorrect information, claiming Henriette's prince charming is named Tom, the son of their math teacher, and that he is an exceptional math whiz. To get closer to her dreamy handsome boy, the best way is to have Tom give her tutoring in math. For this, Henriette deliberately doesn't pay attention in math class and intentionally gets questions she can solve wrong on exams. The once math genius from her class becomes a poor student. Faced with no choice, her parents reluctantly agree to let her take math tutoring.
