Arielle Gresham is a senior at Douglass High School, an urban school in Cincinnati. She is pretty and thin at a mere size 2, but her bad behavior toward her friends has driven away everyone in her life, including her boyfriend, Jericho Prescott. Arielle knows she is responsible for her own loneliness, but she still can't help wondering what Jericho sees in the heavy and less attractive Olivia Thigpen.
