For 16-year-old Cara, there's too much drama in her life. She's got a big math test coming up and she also likes this guy in her class and he's so cute and dreamy and so popular but her friends don't want her to see him because they think he's a player but Cara thinks they're just jealous and ...

When you're a teenager dealing with such "life or death" issues, the last thing you want to do is listen to your elders.
