Yara Shahidi (above) as Justine Walker.

"Risks are meant to be taken, Lovato. So risk breaking my heart." Her lips smashed into mine and for a moment, I felt nothing else but the warmth of her mouth against mine.

Demi Lovato, an introverted church girl with overbearing parents has never gotten the chance to experience what it's like to be a normal teenager. She's never dated anyone her parents hadn't hand picked for her nor had any real friends.

When newcomer Justine Walker moves into town, Demi immediately feels sorry for her. The girl is bullied severely because of her parent's interracial relationship amongst the town and church. Fast forward a couple years and the girls have never yet interacted before -- until Justine moves in with them.
