Reading Challenge 5th book

Title : How to be popular _ 278 pages

Steph Landry wants to be popular, being in the A crowd and taking Mark Finley, the cutest boy in Bloomville from Lauren Moffat since she was a social reject. Way back when she was in 6 th grade, she accidentally pour the Big Red Super Big Gulp on Lauren's white D&G skirt and Lauren came up with phrase like : " Don't be such a Steph" or " Way to pull a Steph". Steph wasn't such a social reject because she still have Becca, Jason and his friends to play with and they usually lying on the hill looking up the night sky. Then Steph Landry tried to be a new Steph, a popular one with help from a book called " How to be popular". On the first day of grade 11, she attract people' attention when she came up with the idea " Talent auction" to make money for the senior trip. Meanwhile, Becca was drawing tiny unicorns on Jason's top and shoes. With new clothes that she bought from her grandpa's money, it's enough to make Lauren feel jealous. At lunch, when Jason and Becca were away for Pizza Hut, Steph stayed back to school so can join the A crowd. Fortunately, she can manage to sit next to Darlene, one of the most popular girls in school, who turn out to be really nice and not exactly dumb like what people think she is. The next few days, everything was going smooth for Steph, she managed to talk to Mark and even took a ride with Lauren Moffat since Mark asked her to ride Steph home. In the auction day, Jason had to bought Becca because nobody else was buying her. That's made Becca think that Jason is her ONE and she kissed him after the auction. Back to Steph, she bought Mark Finley with the price of 1000 dollar, way a head Lauren Moffat. She was so jealous with Steph so she came up with a plan to crash Steph's popularity. She asked Todd to throw a party at the Steph grandfather's observatory, a wedding from him to Jason's grandma, Kitty and they were going to marry soon. Steph scared that they are going to crash the place and fed up grandpa. She didn't let them go inside even for the kiss that Mark Finley gave her few hours ago. Suddenly, she heard a noise and it was Jason, he was staying with her to make sure that she didn't do anything wrong. Then Steph confessed with Jason that she spied on him ( they are neighbours) and how she like him and yes very romantic,Jason also confessed that he thought that she was hot since grade 2 and they kissed. Finally she could find her ONE. Grandpa's wedding was beautiful and Jason and Steph left the place to Cafe Pot, where they met Lauren and her gang. Steph had been supported by Darlene and Alyssa because of how Lauren had treated them and so the boys followed Darlene inside. Lauren couldn't help but cry but Steph had also invited her and Mark in to join the group. HAPPY ENDING!
