Bianca is the Westgate Prep quarterback’s sister—and that’s her only claim to fame. When her friends’ social experiment turns her into the "It Girl" of the Sophomore class, she captures the attention of the most popular guy in her grade. Even though she’s ecstatic to introduce the world to her first boyfriend, no one’s ever told her what to do when her friends hate him and Prince Charming turns into a control-freaky nightmare. It doesn’t help that being around her brother’s best friend is making her head all fuzzy, either.
