She cannot bear with herself, she feels she’ll never be good enough for Brad, her all time crush, a handsome six feet tall quarterback. His father? A multimillionaire businessman, who has done everything to make his son Brad fit into the expectations. Unlike Brad, Macy’s parents did everything to get Macy into a private school to make her rate boost. One monday morning the most popular girl on school started to give out some party invitations. Of course Macy didn't get one, it was for 7s and above, she decided she’ll make it to the party by becoming more popular.
