Jessica was your plain type of girl; introverted, awkward and socially insecure. Her baggy clothing and average, typical brown hair and eyes did nothing to accentuate her appearece or aid her inexplicit insivibility. Instigating friendships, relationships or even just conversations was an uneasy task; so when Jessica found herself mingling with Mr Popular himself and becoming an insider with the so-called cool kids, she couldn't believe it. Every aspect of her personality would be put to the test as she learns to accept and venture into countless funny, awkward, memorable and beautiful moments, alongside new friends. But the biggest challenge would be discovering and dealing with the feelings she'd developped for the very person who showed her that life really does begin at the end of your comfort zone.
