Jenna decides to take the situation in her own hands and attempts to rework it for the positive. Throughout the first season she navigates being in a secret relationship with Matty while his best friend [[Big Man on Campus|Jake]] develops a crush on her despite dating Sadie's friend [[Brainless Beauty|Lissa]]. Meanwhile, she tries to figure out who wrote the anonymous letter. |
