Will’s teachers were not as tough as his father. On
occasions when Will missed a homework assignment or did
poorly on a test, his knack for creativity often saved him
from punishment. Will came up with excuses that were
original and funny, and he could charm his way out of a bad
situation. In fact, Will was so good at it that the teachers at
Overbrook High gave him a nickname: Prince Charming.
Soon Prince Charming would meet a jazzy DJ, and his
life would change forever.
