Summaries

A high school girl is invited to a party by the most popular boy in school -- only trouble is, she's grounded.

Rich, handsome team captain Drew Patterson, the high school's dream prince, like his elder brothers before, tires of the haughty head cheerleader and shows some interest in nerdy nobody Mandy Gilbert. For her, his invitation to the party of the year of his parental estate bodes instant social promotion, but her overprotective pa Tom grounds her for dishonesty. She's as determined to get in anyway with friends' help as her rival's pack to prevent that and dad to guard her. Furthermore, there's a dooming rumor about the Patterson boys.—KGF Vissers
