Andrea McLeish is 15 years old, witty and popular. Her mother died when she was a baby, but rather than admitting she misses her, Andrea uses this fact to gain sympathy from the kids at school. Andrea is bored with the suburban wasteland she lives in and lonely, not that she admits this. Everything she does is to make people think she's cool. She even ditched her best friend from primary school, Harriet, who's just too weird for Andrea's new friends. Anthony Jarvis is the new kid in Andrea's class. He's brooding, keeps to himself and has a 'hot vampire' look about him, but the other kids find him weird. Anthony ignores Andrea and her mean girl pals until he finds out her full name is Andrea McLeish. Then he says he has a message for her.
