A plain but considerate main character falls for a girl who happens to sit next to him in class. Using a group project as an excuse, he gets her number and they go on a date, but everything is ruined because of the unexpected rain and his credit card reaching its limit. Over the course of the story, the main character learns the hardships of love.
Definitely a slice of real life! The guy doesn't always get the girl(s), no matter how nice he is! The crushing realization that some "nice" girls are really bitches through and through. ("Handsome Guy" found this out in the end, too!) Losing sight of those girls closest to you and realizing their true value and feelings too late. (She gave him plenty of cues!) Valuable lessons...hopefully, he gets it right next time! After all, learning from your mistakes and rebounding is how we grow. . .
