Shasta Darby is in high school. She owns a car that has its own ideas about when and how to run, a single mom with a geeky boyfriend, and a somewhat crazy friend named Gina. Twenty-three days into her senior year, the bullies and nasties she'd been able to avoid until then suddenly decide she's worth their attention. This has a kind of domino effect, causing other people - and specifically a boy-people - to start noticing her as well.

This, er, thesis of mine addresses that very issue, based on my observations about how things REALLY work.
