Kenley is an eighth grader who is mostly popular but she is more known than popular confident, funny, kind, and a little sassy. At the beginning of the school year, she starts noticing Hudson Fair, a sixth grader who she thinks is cute. At first, it's just a tiny crush. She might notice him in the hallway, catch herself looking over when he's around, or smile when he says something funny, but she doesn't think much of it. She definitely doesn't expect those feelings to grow. Kenley's best friend is also a sixth grader, which makes her one of the people Kenley spends the most time with at school. Her best friend thinks Hudson is cute too, but she would never actually want to date him. She's completely honest about that and doesn't pretend otherwise. When Kenley eventually admits that she thinks Hudson is cute, her best friend laughs and says she agrees—but she doesn't make it a huge deal. She's not jealous, competitive, or fake about it. She genuinely wants Kenley to be happy. So Willow her best friend has been better friends with Hudson like they know each other more and so Willow decides to invite Kenley and Hudson to her birthday party sleepover that’s when they get more close but nothing weird happens.
