“So I have this theory….” Riley Patterson has never been the popular one, but she has nothing to complain about. She is well liked in her school, she's a good student, comes from a good family and is an all- around good kid, but that’s the problem. She’s so…terribly average. Everything in her life is good, but nothing is GREAT. She’s been invited into the popular crew many times because she certainly has the good looks for it, but has always respectfully declined, trying to rise above the what she thought were stupid high school clichés. One day, after coming to school fed up with her uninteresting life, she finally goes for it. She soon decides that being popular is fabulous, and wonders why she didn’t consider it sooner. Though life in the fast lane is fun at first, Riley realizes that popular girls only like popular boys. Being the dating virgin that she is, she is slightly lost at first when her new friends try to "hook her up". She adjusts quickly though, and soon she finds herself in a game that she's not sure she wants to keep playing.
