High school stands out in my mind as such a time for being awkward, self-critical, and overly romantic. This is the case for Erika, a new student who has a voice in her head that often makes her question herself and if she’s capable of making friends. Surely, something has to give! When her school opens up submissions for one-act plays, she writes one for her crush.. But she never expects him to agree to be her lead! Full of angst and obsession that only comes with a new crush.
