She's captain of the cheerleading squad
Stephanie leads her squad in a cheer.
She sits in the bleachers
Haylee yells words of encouragement from the side-lines.
They're best friends
Haylee smiles at Stephanie.
"Remember how Eddie had a crush on you in third grade?"
Stephanie shivers at the memory.
"Ugh, don't remind me, Hale. He was disgusting!"
Stephanie McCreary is popular; she has a lot of friends, a ton of money, and the perfect life
Stephanie sits down at the popular table.
"Guys, guess what I just bought last night!"
Her friend turns to her.
"What?"
Stephanie holds up her purse.
"It's Gucci. Isn't it gorgeous?!"
Haylee Griffith is a nobody; her only friend is Stephanie, she has no money, and she hates her life
Haylee sits at a table by herself and sighs.
"Another day, another lunch by myself."
Someone comes over to her.
"Hey, Griffith."
Haylee looks up. The person snickers.
"Where did you get your top at? The dump?"
But can one summer change everything?
Haylee hurries to catch up to Stephanie.
"Hey, Steph!"
Stephanie turns around and waits for Haylee to catch up.
"Oh, hi, Hale. What's up?"
"What are you doing this summer?"
"My family and I are going to the Bahamas for the whole summer. You?"
Haylee sighs.
"Just staying here."
"Oh...well, have fun."
With Stephanie gone, Haylee has to find a way to keep herself entertained
Haylee walks by a building and stops. She reads the paper.
"'Win a chance to meet...'"
Haylee stops and screams.
"JONAS!"
Never the luckiest girl, Haylee doesn't believe she has a chance
Haylee mails her entry.
"I probably won't win, but what the hell? At least I tried."
But she never–in a million years–expected to win
Her phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Haylee Griffith?"
"Uh, maybe. Who is this?"
"Jonas."
Haylee can't believe it..
"AH!"
Nick held his ears.
"Ow! Okay, that hurt."
Joe took the phone from Nate.
"Haylee?"
Kevin took the phone from Joe.
"Are you still there?"
"Yeah...yeah, I'm here."
Kevin can't contain his excitement.
"Well, guess what?"
"What?"
Joe was sharing in Kevin's excitement.
"You won our contest!"
Nick hands the phone back to Joe and Kevin and gets ready.
"Uh-oh. Get ready to hold your ears again."
Haylee screams again.
"NO WAY!"
Kevin screams with her.
"Way!"
Joe smiles.
"You fly out to Los Angeles tomorrow morning, so you should get packing."
"Thank you!"
She hands up and starts dancing around her room.
When Haylee gets the chance of a liftetime...
Jonas smiles at Haylee.
"Hi, we're Jonas."
Haylee starts to cry.
"Ah!"
...will she fall for one of the brothers?
"I'm Joe. You must be Haylee."
Haylee blushes.
"Yeah..."
Will he feel the same way?
Joe smiles down at Haylee. She catches him staring.
"What?"
"Uh, tell me about yourself, Haylee."
Haylee shrugs.
"There's nothing to tell."
"Oh, come on, there must be SOMETHING you can tell me."
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
"Where are you from?"
"New Jersey. "
"How old are you?"
"17."
"If it's not too personal...who do you live with?"
Haylee looks up at him.
"What kind of a question is that?"
Joe shrugs that time.
"It's just a question. So, what's the answer?"
"No one."
"You're 17...and you live alone?"
Haylee feels tears come to her eyes.
"My parents died three years ago, so I live alone. My only friend is a girl who's always too busy to hang out with me."
"Tell me one secret that nobody knows."
"I just met you."
"That's not a secret."
"No, I meant, why would I tell you a secret when I just met you?"
"Because you just met me, I won't tell anyone."
Haylee sighs.
"I absolutely hate my life."
Back in school, after the summer, and everyone is talking
Stephanie hurries over to Haylee.
"Hale, is there something you want to tell me?"
Haylee looks at her.
"Uh, not really."
"Oh, come, Hale! What happened this summer? I heard it was very eventful."
Haylee looks at her.
"Who did you hear that from?"
Stephanie looks at her.
"Uh, hello! Hale, it's in all the magazines!"
Now Haylee is popular...
One of Stephanie's friends calls Haylee from across the cafeteria.
"Sit with us, Haylee!"
Someone else calls her from another direction.
"No, sit with us!"
And she hates it
Haylee goes to the bathroom and cries.
"God, I wish my life would go back to the way it was before."
But when Joe calls her...
Her cell phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Uh, Haylee?"
"Yeah. Who is this?"
"Joe."
...will she let herself fall in love?
Haylee looks into Joe's eyes.
"Joe–"
Joe stops her.
"Haylee, do you like me?"
What will her answer be?
Haylee looks into his eyes.
"Joe..."
