“I need to be at my best to get into Cal Arts.” This is how the trailer begins, giving us an entrance into Paige’s life, in which she also assures that in her new semester of school she will make her best moves, although her best friend does not believe her.

The charm that the young protagonist has with the girl she likes is so great that every time she sees her, time around her slows down, while she sees her as the center of everything, surrounded by color and with background music. Her friends know this, but they want to bend over backwards to get Paige to turn her attention to other girls, but it doesn’t seem to work.
