A loop of lies, an 8-foot height and endless stomach butterflies...
It's the middle of senior year and Jessica Sanchez knows she's socially awkward; she's just never cared.
Thrown in an embarrassing incident the day after she moves to Los Angeles from small-town Yountville, Jessica only wants one thing: to climb the popularity ladder that stands in an old man's backyard (the historical treasure of her new high school's popularity clique).
Armed with a self-help book called How to Become Popular, cheap but daring store-bought outfits, and pretentious lies on her first day of school, Jessica catches the eye of the clique's well-off charming Italian boy. There's just one problem: Leonard Green, the cute guy from Jessica's high school in Yountville, walks in on her changing in the boys' bathroom, and even worse, he recognizes her-the big dent in her plan.
Jessica gets tangled in an adventure of shenanigans and heart palpitations she wasn't expecting.

Violet's Delight
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22Complete
