Geek Girl by Cindy C. Bennett

Jen's life hasn't been all fun and games.  In fact, the tough exterior she shows the world is all she has left to protect herself.  But, being a rebel is getting a little old, and she has gotten bored.  Hence, the bet.  Jen bets her girlfriends that she can turn geek, Trevor Hoffman, into a bad boy.  She captures his attention immediately, but somehow she ends up doing charity work at an old folks home and watching sci-fi movies on Saturday nights instead of Trevor partying with her and her friends.  Hanging out with Trevor isn't so bad, but when he finds out about the bet, nothing is fun anymore.

I liked Jen.  She was tough, even mean, but her evolution was believable because she didn't really fit the protective shell she had created.  Trevor was a little too good, but his own background, family and values rang true, and his kindness or as Jen would say "Trevor the Polite" was genuine.  Overall,  I simply enjoyed the ride.
