About
Olive, an average high school student, sees her below-the-radar existence turn around overnight once she decides to use the school's gossip grapevine to advance her social standing. Now her classmates are turning against her and the school board is becoming concerned, including her favorite teacher and the distracted guidance counselor. With the support of her hilariously idiosyncratic parents and a little help from a long-time crush, Olive attempts to take on her notorious new identity and crush the rumor mill once and for all.

Rosemary
I had a similar situation when I was your age. I had a horrible reputation.
Olive
Why?
Rosemary
Because I was a slut. I slept with a whole bunch of people. A slew, a heap, a peck. Mostly guys.
Olive
Mom!
Olive
Can you not see that I'm a mess?
Rosemary
No, you're not, Olive. You're wonderful. And you'll handle this the same way I did. With an incontrovertible sense of humor. But you're much smarter than I am, so you'll come out of this much better than I did.
Olive
Thank you, Mom.
