A lush city with a lake that is as clear as glass. On the lakeside, there are boats docked and several beautiful trees. Standing by the side of the road, a girl slowly makes her way toward someone. She constantly checks her phone and seems upset. She's squirming and anxious as though something has been messing with her. She gives her friend a firm hug when she runs into her on the street. She is relieved to have seen a familiar face.

The young lady whose name is Chariz strolls into a party with a companion. Her friend, who is also in high school, is ecstatic to attend their first suburban house party. She tries her best to convince Chariz to enjoy the party, which is full of people drinking and filled with music. It appears to be a high school dream and they vow to have a good time at the party.

They choose to go karaoke when out of nowhere Chariz sees an attractive man. He informs Chariz that he could assist her in selecting a karaoke song. The guy laughs at her dad jokes because he doesn't understand her sense of humor. He flirts with her despite her mockery of his attire. At the open door abruptly his companion shows up and vouches for him however hauls him away.

They start singing karaoke and do a great job, which gets everyone in the crowd cheering. Chariz's friend tells her the guy's name is Sean, and she thinks they might have chemistry. Chariz is extremely interested via Sean's cordial carefree and bright character. Who gets the entire group rolling.

One time, the two of them visit a candy store on Halloween. Her costume, which consisted of jeans and a lion t-shirt, is mocked by Sean. Sean learns from Chariz that she has recently returned to the town. She frequently changes schools and relocates to various states for a variety of reasons. Chariz could do without being social as she most likely is aware she'll need to move once more. Furthermore, gaining such a large number of experiences would hurt her.

They go to the hockey rink where Sean has it booked out only for the two of them. For an hour they skate on the ice and Sean tells her that they'd be reliving all their firsts on their final day. Their first hockey game was the day they fought as well. During their first fight, Chariz thinks Sean farted and is scared to admit it. Whereas, Sean claims he didn't do it.

One more piece of her tells that she doesn't need to give up. That she can traverse it and Sean might have been the best thing that has at any point happened to her. She's confused even more, her struggle under the surface gets more grounded as a piece of her believes she's excessively youthful for genuine romance. While the other part figures she shouldn't lose Sean.

At a party, Paula acts the hero, however, right then Sean comes too, wearing a tuxedo. He intends to take her to prom, however, seeing Paula, Chariz's dearest companion, there's an energy shift as Sean feels Chariz doesn't have any desire to proceed with this any longer.
