Natalie is high school royalty, but her queen bee status falls apart when she falls for the new guy at school. Although Keith ignores her at first, they soon become friends -- even though Natalie suspects that Keith has something to hide. As the free-spirited Keith shows Natalie how to embrace what life offers, they grow closer -- until a secret tests the bounds of their relationship

if perks of being a wallflower, juno, and the fault in our stars had a threesome that resulted in a love child. this would be it.

Situationship? 🚫 lab partnership ✅
No one will ever understand the headspace I was in when I first watched this. Teenage tumblr-brain me thought it was edgy and different and I unexpectedly loved it after an internet recommendation. Ten years later I assumed nostalgia would carry the rewatch but it hit me in the same ways despite being a subpar movie and I can’t explain why. It is bad and stupid in so many ways but it makes me sad. Fuck this stupid ass movie
