Lena Abbott has abilities. Among them is a being great at telling and unearthing lies, being a total knucklehead who likes dares, being good at twisting situations around, and painting.
Crazy, right? Her best friends, Madison and Aiden Mason, balance Lena out. Madison is smart and fashionable, with glasses and every designer clothing brand. She is the girl to Lena's tomboy. Aiden is sweet, quiet, and thoughtful, and is Lena's "pet baby panda."
And then Lena's cousins, Jack and Finn Harries, come to town over summer vacation.
They are quickly accepted, and the five become incredibly close.
And then One Direction decides to drop by because Niall wants to say hi to Jack.
And in the process of saying hello, One Direction's bus engine is exploded.
Right in the middle of a Beyoncé music jam-out, of course.
