There's a new boy in town, and Ashley wants him badly. Will Karla steal her man too? Karla Centon no longer is the newest student at Brantwood High. Since moving to Brantwood six months ago, her life had been going nowhere in the right direction until she meets Neil Allard, a handsome cheerful boy who wrestles his way into her heart. Karla takes an instant disliking to Neil because she thinks he's not her type. However, what is her type? Is it tall skinny guys who wear baseball hats backwards and who happen to be bad boys or warm loveable funny guys who are more than just nice occasionally, like Neil?

Feisty Romance or a Tangled Trio, what will it be?

Carol's guilt is eating her up inside and wants to fix their friendship. She insists upon making amends by apologizing to Karla's mom but instead, the woman chases her out of the house, which is when she discovers Karla's home life isn't much different from her own. However, she still feels responsible for what happened to Karla at the party. She suggests they take a road trip with two boys they just met in hopes that their new comradeship is growing, but this only makes matters worse for the two of them when they find themselves arrested for car theft. Will Karla forgive her this time?
