Whatever happens at high school, I know what I don't want to happen. I never want to be a loner or a loser or a dork ever again!It's the first day of Kaitlin's first year in high school. Everything's different, but her old friends from primary school are in her class, so at least she's got someone to sit with.Trouble is, they're both boys, and Kaitlin's pretty sure it's dorky to have boys for best friends – specially one who's in the chess club. The cool girls sure seem to think so, and Kaitlin wants to be in their group more than anything. But just how far is she prepared to go?

'I'm not sitting at a table with them,' Ashleigh protests. 'They're the top five losers at the school!'It is the third term, grade six and Kaitlin's teacher has switched table groups around. Now Kaitlin's on a table with stuck-up Ashleigh, Mathew the Mouth and Stephen, a curly-haired nerd who only cares about marine life.Thank goodness she still has Shelley, her best and only friend, by her side. But when Ashleigh decides it would be fun to break up their friendship, Kaitlin could be in for the hardest two weeks of her life.
