"You don't get a second chance at something like this. You have a choice, you can go upstairs and lose your virginity at a party to a guy that likes you for all the wrong reasons. Or you can wait for someone that cares about you, the real you." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By definition popular means to be liked by many people. Riley Morgan falls into that category at school. Yet people only see the Riley she portrays to her peers. She acts the way she is supposed to act, laughs at all the 'right' jokes, and makes all the 'right' comments. However the thought of being anything less than perfect stops her from showing her true self and sharing her thoughts on subjects, subjects like love. Riley talks about love like it is a mythical creature, in her eyes it does not exist. Being in a disappointing relationship with the seemingly 'right' guy only supports her opinion. Will a new guy get Riley to change how she feels not only about herself, but also love?
