Treatment

Clumsy, geeky, A grade student, Katharine Matheson. Socially ignored by all lives in the chemistry lab Nicholas Newman, the jock, wants to get a scholarship. Girls drool over him! What makes these opposites cross paths? Simple, chemistry. Nicholas is failing chemistry and needs to pass everything with A’s to get the scholarship he wants from Oxford. His chemistry teacher, Mr Hodge suggests he seeks help from the class star Katharine to tutor him. Instead of Katharine feeling honoured to be able to tutor him and have a reason to talk to the prestigious jock he is, she is uninterested and not very nice, confused by her behaviour he approaches her again thinking that she should feel lucky since she is at the bottom with all the losers and geeks. Nicholas speaks to her again and says “I think you must of not heard me” which Katharine replies to “I heard you loud and clear, exactly how will it benefit me helping you”.

Having the genes of an arrogant male running through his veins, he had assumed every girl drools over him and caters to his every whim, he was in fact correct, every girl apart from Katharine. Knowing she isn’t giving in that easy he finds himself trying to concoct an idea of what she would want so he can receive her help. What he had seemingly looked over is the fact that she is just like every other girl, although her image portrays carelessness in style she is indeed crying out for help in that department. He presents his deal and she is resistant but ends up agreeing to it thinking it cant hurt trying out new things, she didn’t realise she was playing with dangerous substance, changing her style is going to have major effect in her social life as she has to talk to people she wouldn’t speak to.

As Nicholas is changing her sense of style and eating habits, she is completely transformed, while that’s happening Nicholas is learning and taking quizzes that Katharine gives him he is improving and achieving better grades. In the midst of all this there is a magnetic force pulling, attracting them together as they without knowledge begin to enjoy one another’s company. Some thing that’s just way out of their league is happening to them, could they be creating one chemical reaction that’s just inevitable?
