• Marisol drops her latest zine off at Tower Records and meets John, who is there waiting for her. At first she's a little freaked out by the whole thing, but pretty soon, she figures out John is completely harmless.
• She agrees to meet up with John the following weekend and brings her friend Birdie along to check the guy out.
• Birdie decides John isn't gay, but Marisol gives him tips on writing his zine anyway.
• Marisol and John meet up on weekends and talk on the phone during the week. Sometimes they read each other their latest work, or other times they share stories of broken hearts and frustration at their parents.
• One day, Marisol invites John to a concert. Even though he's never heard of the artist, he agrees to go.
• They enjoy the music, and afterwards, Marisol figures out she's missed the last train. John doesn't want her to get hurt walking home alone so late, so he offers for her to crash at his dad's place.
• When John tells his dad that Marisol is gay, he's annoyed, but Marisol is glad he told the truth.
• John invites Marisol to prom—as friends—and she says yes (reluctantly).
• At the prom, Marisol is surprised to learn that John's friends think she's his girlfriend. She's even more shocked when John makes a pass at her. Ugh, dude.
• Things are icy between John and Marisol after that, but she agrees to go to a zine convention with him so he can see her interact with other girls.
• They go to the convention together, and right away, Marisol starts spending time with a girl named June. They go dancing together, and John gets super jealous.
• Marisol decides to leave with June for New York. She wants to escape from her life and figure herself out more. John's upset, but he knows her mind is made up.
• He meets her the morning she leaves and says goodbye. She tells him that she loves him as much as she can.
