Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar
Scott is a freshman in high school. He has an older brother who didn't finish, but was popular with the ladies, and just found out his mom is pregnant. Scott is not as cool as he would like, and although he was excited about starting high school, it's not turning out the way he wanted.
On the first day, a girl he's known since kindergarten is now somehow super-hot, and he's stuck with the kid who won't shut up. All his friends are in regular classes, but Scott is in honors classes, so he's not in class with any of his friends.
In an effort to get close to the hot girl, he signs up to write for the newspaper and gets stuck covering sports. He runs for student council and makes is, but she doesn't. He tries out for the school play and makes it as a stage hand, but she doesn't make it at all. Not to mention she's dating the biggest douche in the school.
So Scott chronicles his high school life, complete with advice, for the new sibling he is about to have. He talks about his triumphs as well as the moments where he doesn't feel successful at all.
There were so many layers to this that it's hard to cover them all, but I highly recommend this one.
