Girl, 15, Charming but Insane

Saddled with beautiful Fiona as a best friend, Jess Jordan launches a campaign to get her would-be soul mate Ben to notice her, and instead brings on a cavalcade of mortification and disaster, not the least of which is a minestrone explosion in her bra and a school-wide viewing of a videotape that features a topless Jess referring to her breasts and Bonnie and Clyde.
