Seventeen-year-old Gemma Parker is tired of always being the friend. The one he calls after he gets home from his dates at night, the one he confides in before he asks another girl out. 
Their junior year is quickly coming to an end, and Gemma refuses to sit at home alone for the last dance of the school year. Instead, she asks for help from the last person she'd ever dreamed of turning to. 

Ashton Hughes is the hottest guy in school and Gemma's next-door neighbor. So she asks for his help to become popular and find a date for the dance. He says he'll help her on one condition; she can't fall in love with him. She says that won't be a problem. 
 
Project dance begins, and now the roles are reversed...Gemma is out there dating, trying to find the right guy for the dance. Now, Ashton finds himself feeling jealous hearing about Gemma's dates.All Rights Reserved
