When her best friend, Lana, drags her to a party she runs into Grayson Pierce. Just by looking at him it is obvious why girls throw themselves at him.
Ellie shrugs Grayson off thinking she will never see him again, but when Lana begins dating Derek she finds out him and Grayson are best friends, and never seeing him again isn't an option.
As Ellie and Grayson begin to spend more time together a friendship builds, and even though others think it's more, or should be more, Ellie is adamant they're just friends.
