Especially if you’re Trevor Jones. Trevor is a worrier and he overthinks everything. When he’s waiting for the bus, his long-time friend shakes his “cool” by telling him that he has to ask a girl to the dance coming up before the end of the day. To add to things on his plate, a documentary film crew has come to Westside Middle School in order to capture the life of a middle schooler, which could provide Trevor with the ideal outlet for becoming “cool.” Trying to become popular and cool, however, is easier said than done. Can Trevor find a date for the dance, keep his best friend, Libby, and gain popular status?
