summary: Steve's parents were controlling. They wanted him to graduate his final year of high school, get into a good college (despite his grades being tragically bad) and marry a cute girl. Maybe someone like Nancy. Problem was, Steve didn't really want to do any of that... and he was sick of his parents trying to plan every aspect of his life for him.

So when he tells Nancy he wants to rebel just once... before graduation, and really stick it to his parents — she cooks up a plan that honestly has no chance of working. How is Steve supposed to put up with Billy Hargrove, resident loser, skateboarding asshole with a penchant for violence and a massively bad attitude... just long enough to fake a friendship, that his parents would absolutely disprove of?

And what happens when... things don't exactly go according to plan?
