A Typical Tale of Forbidden Fruits

Penny Grayson is popular. And she hates it. She hates seeing girls brought to tears by her friends, but finds herself unable to speak up, to go against the flow. She hates seeing guys fawning over her, when they barely know her. Then she happens to bump into a mathlete she's somehow never noticed before. James teaches her that going against the flow can be much better than drifting along. But will she be able to choose him under the pressure of her friends?
