Taylor Anderson isn't what you'd call new to Lima, she had lived in Lima until she was twelve, until her Grandma moved them to New York. But now she's back, moving back to Lima in her Junior year. The only problem is that she has a dark past in Lima, that followed her all the way to New York. It wasn't just that she had a manwhore ex-boyfriend, Jake Puckerman. Or that she had a junkie for a mom. The big kicker was that her biological dad lived in Lima with his family. She quickly makes best friends with the quiet, shy girl Marley Rose, and quickly makes a frenemy out of the blonde, confident, cheerleader Kitty Wilde. And quickly becomes the object of affection of the blonde, senior Sam Evans.
