All Serena Davis ever wanted was to be gorgeous and popular. Instead, she is an insecure, nerdy, and an average girl with no self esteem. With pimples and glasses on her face, Serena definitely feels like the ugly duckling. After all, she's continuously bullied by her peers. When her family decides to move to LA, Serena believes it's a dream come true!! After all, what's more better than starting your stupid life all over again? Before Serena leaves, she goes to Spa and gets a makeover. When she arrives LA, Serena decides to act as the girl she has always dreamt of. She gains many friends, she becomes popular, she falls for the popular jock, and she befriends every cheerleader. As soon as Serena's new life seems to be heading off into a great start, things come crashing down. It's not until then does Serena meet a boy named Jeremy who begins to see the real her. As Jeremy and Serena start to befriend each other, he makes her realize that popularity isn't everything and it's better to be yourself. [WARNING: Needs editing]
