Scott couldn't wait for this day, the day when he would enter high school. He and his friends would no longer be kids, and the girls were sure to much better looking. Then he has his first day. After losing his way several times, having the back of his head slapped mutiple times, and his lunch money stolen, Scott is not so sure that high school is all he thought it would be. He finally comes up with his singular goal for his freshman year. He wants to win over the girl of his dreams - the girl he was friends with in elementary school who has now turned into a supermodel. He joins all kinds of clubs and organization just for a chance to be near her and maybe reconnect, but each new thing seems to leave him farther from his dream. I read this several years ago and remembered laughing. Poor Scott. He tries so hard to do everything and ends up running himself thin. I can definitely relate to this type of story. Though I never joined every organization my crush was involved in at high school, I certainly did a lot in high school. His English teacher sounded like someone you would have loved to have, and his experiences ring true even while he is explaining them to his unborn brother. This book is on my bookshelf if you would like to read it. It has a few cuss words and an attempted suicide.
