Two teenagers meet and fall in love with each other over the weekend, which results in them
"doing it" with each other for the first time.
The movie begins with a typical high school party, and while everyone's having the time
of their life inside, outside we see our protagonist, Dave Hodgeman, pacing back and forth.
He is practicing his speech to confess his love for his friend Jane, when a girl interrupts
him; scaring him by doing so.
She asks him who he's talking to, and he says that he had thought he was alone.
She makes fun of him for the fact that he has been talking to himself, and proceeds
to make a small talk.
They realize that they go to different schools, but they do have something in common; they
hate their friends.
The girl starts complaining about how her friends take her to a party, and leave her
by herself by the end of the night, because they are too busy hooking up with the boys.
Dave complains as well; he says that his friends drive around the town only to find a party,
and go to it, even though they don't know anyone there.
The girl introduces herself as Aubrey, and reveals that she isn't there to hook up with
anyone, because she has a boyfriend.
She is a junior in high school, and Dave says that he had that thought, because she didn't
have "the look" in her eyes.
Dave reveals that there's a girl he likes, Jane, but he thinks that she will go back
with someone else that night.
He likes her, but she only sees him as a friend.
Aubrey makes fun of him, and says that he is hiding and fleeing from her, and that's
the reason he's outside.
She is about to leave, but Dave stops her by asking her for advice on how to get closer
to Jane.
She asks him whether he has anything in mind, and he pulls out a letter.
He reads that romantically written beautiful letter, and Aubrey is at loss for words.
Dave soon realizes what he's done, and gets embarrassed.
She tells him that the girl doesn't care about all of that romantic stuff; she wants a guy
that will make her feel less "freaked out".
If he can be the "calm" guy, he will be right for her, but he's not that guy, and they won't
be together.
Dave understands and agrees.
They sit down on the side and hear a very beautiful song.
He asks her whether she wants to dance with him, and she declines.
She stands up and although Dave thinks she's leaving, he is surprised when she calls out
for him.
They start dancing, and both of them cringe.
Their dance is interrupted by a call on Dave's phone.
Police had come to break off the party, and everyone starts fleeing out of the house.
Dave and Aubrey start running as well, in the direction where everyone's going.
Dave's heart breaks when he sees Jane in a car with some guy.
Aubrey sees that, and invites him to walk her over to her house.
He agrees and they start walking.
She asks him about college, and Dave reveals that he wants to be a teacher, and even plans
to study that.
A car pulls up to them, and they are asked about the party's location.
Dave tells them that the police had broken up the party, so the guys from the car invite
them for a spin.
Aubrey declines, saying that she's close by and Dave agrees to go with her.
They get to her house, and Dave asks for her number.
She agrees and starts typing it, but a thought interrupts her mind, and she invites Dave
to come inside.
They get in and Aubrey says that she will be drinking wine, so Dave has the same.
While Dave's impressed by Aubrey's room, she sets the mood.
She plays a song on the record player, and then starts enumerating the things that make
her really happy; she loves when it's four o'clock; when the sun hits her carpet and
it becomes warm.
Dave understands her and compares it to his rides in the car; windows shut and music blasting.
He gets interrupted by her asking whether he's ever got intimate.
Dave is taken aback, but decides to be honest.
He says not yet but, he has had opportunities.
Aubrey asks him whether he fantasizes about it with Jane, and he says that he doesn't.
He fantasizes about having a relationship with her, and doing all the cute things couples
do.
There is a girl by the name of Casey though; he fantasizes with her.
He asks her the same question, and she tells him that it's none of his business.
She complains that everything has been ruined by society; not even relationships are the
same anymore; she wants to meet a guy the "old-fashioned" way.
Dave jokes and says "How about meeting a guy in a dark alley who's talking to himself?"
She laughs and asks him to hold her hand.
She asks him what he thinks of her, and he says that she is nothing like the girls he
has met.
Aubrey smiles and says that's a good answer.
She takes his hand, and spoons herself in his embrace.
Dave is confused, but she explains that she doesn't like sleeping with anyone in the room,
but she is willing to try it for a bit as he can leave after a couple of minutes.
They close their eyes, and end up falling asleep.
The pair is woken by Aubrey's mother knocking on her door.
They start running like crazy, trying to find the best way to hide Dave.
While running, Dave ends up spilling a glass of wine.
She tells him to go through the window and he does.
What he doesn't expect is jumping from the roof.
He jumps either way, and Aubrey tells him to call her.
He says yes but soon realizes that he doesn't have her number, so he calls out for her but
she doesn't respond.
Dave meets with his friends later on, and tells them the whole situation.
His British friend tells him that he doubts there is a boyfriend, and that girl had made
it up, because she has met a random guy.
He advises him to invite her on a date in a couple of days, and if she mentions her
boyfriend then that means that she doesn't like him.
Dave says that he won't text her, because he accidentally spilled red wine on her carpet.
He reveals that he couldn't text her even if he wanted to, because he doesn't have her
number.
His friends advise him to call information but he says that she won't be listed.
The only thing he knows is where she lives but he can't go to her house, and stand outside
her window.
Dave's other friend chimes in that they know a guy that goes to her school, and he has
access to student information.
They call the guy by the name of Stanvvyck, and he says that he only has the home address
and the home phone number.
Dave takes what he can get, and writes down her home phone number.
They drop him off by his house, and invite him to a movie that night.
Dave declines the offer and his friends notice how excited he is, so they decide to give
him some advice about the girl.
They tell him to wait and not to rush things too soon, because he could ruin everything.
Dave agrees and says that he won't even call her at all.
He ends up calling the number as soon as he walks inside.
Her father answers it and Dave asks for her.
She answers the phone as she goes to the other room, away from her parents.
Dave doesn't know what to say, so he asks her whether everything's "cool" and she says
yes.
He pulls himself together as he invites her to the movies that night, but she says that
she will go with her boyfriend Ronnie.
He tells her that he's going there with his friends, so maybe they'll see each other.
Aubrey hangs up the phone, and runs to ask her parents for permission.
She admits that she shouldn't be drinking as she is a teenager, but says that they shouldn't
be mad because she had been responsible and done it at home.
Her mother thinks about it and ends up letting her go after all.
Dave and his friends go to the cinema; Dave's concerned that Aubrey may think that he's
stalking her.
Jane interrupts his thought by walking into the cinema.
She goes to him and hugs him, and even asks for his whereabouts the night before.
He tells her that he had been around, but she says that he has missed their famous deep
talks at the end of the night.
She asks about his plans after the movie and he says that he had nothing planned, but he
confirms with his British friend whether they're going somewhere.
One of the girls from Jane's group invites them to her house afterward, and they settle
on going there.
Jane grabs Dave's hand and asks him what they're watching, but they get interrupted by Aubrey
calling out for Dave.
He turns around and sees Aubrey with her boyfriend.
Jane introduces herself and Aubrey does the same, and even introduces Ronnie to everyone.
Dave calls out to his British friend whose name is Simon to meet Aubrey's boyfriend,
as he was the one who told him that she had made it all up.
Simon can't believe his eyes, but proceeds to introduce himself and the rest of the group.
He asks them whether they're seeing the same film as them and even though Ronnie says no,
Aubrey suggests seeing the same movie.
Ronnie agrees and starts being weird, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
They all get inside and Aubrey and Ronnie sit in the higher seats, which gives Aubrey
a perfect view of Dave and Jane.
She looks at them as jealousy fills her.
Jane is being very touchy with Dave and even holds his hand throughout the movie.
Aubrey takes a look at her boyfriend, and realizes that she had made a mistake; she
also can't stand to look at Jane and Dave anymore, so she leaves and goes to the hall.
Dave comes after her quickly and Aubrey stops him in his tracks by saying that they're watching
a beautiful movie.
He goes to her and she apologizes for making him jump off the roof, and for being rude
on the phone.
He sits next to her and asks for her phone.
He types in his number and types her into his, and even says that he forgives her.
Aubrey smiles and asks him about Jane.
She tells him that Jane has been very touchy and that can only mean that she likes him.
Dave disagrees but says that he doesn't know as she does make him have some inappropriate
thoughts about her.
Aubrey encourages him to go all out, and maybe she can be his first as she's been with many
partners before.
She gets up to leave and Dave invites her to come to the party after the movie, to which
she agrees.
Aubrey doesn't go to the movie, instead she decides to open up to the young man.
Traveling is what Aubrey wants, so she tells as she's walking back to Dave.
She tells him that she has been to Madrid the year before with her uncle and his boyfriend,
and everything about it had been magical.
Even though she had been lost, she noticed the beauty of the people and the city.
The sky, the architecture even the way people greet each other.
She talks with so much passion that it makes Dave feel enchanted.
After gathering his thoughts, he tells her that he wants to go with her, and that her
passion and the things she loves are not stupid.
This calms Aubrey down as she looks at Dave with admiration.
Their moment is interrupted as Ronnie walks out, and asks for her to come back.
Aubrey takes a look at Dave before she gets back to the movie with Ronnie.
The movie finishes and the group goes to the party along with Ronnie and Aubrey.
They sit down on the couch, and Ronnie starts giving them some advice because he is the
oldest there.
He says that no one cares about anything else than money-making at his age.
He starts talking bad about people in corporate business, so Aubrey leaves as she's embarrassed.
She goes outside and sees Jane.
She introduces herself to her, but Aubrey says that they had met already.
Jane realizes that she is Dave's friend, and asks her whether she liked Dave or not.
Aubrey says no as she points to Ronnie and says that she is with him.
Jane calls Ronnie gorgeous but Aubrey starts talking about Dave.
Jane jumps in and says that Dave's amazing.
He has always been there for her through all her bad relationships, and she considers him
her best guy friend.
She feels like she can tell him everything, because she has seen the way he takes care
of his sister.
Aubrey gets surprised and asks about his sister because she hadn't known.
Jane tells her that Dave's sister is around five or six years old, and he takes great
care of her.
Her father isn't around, so he is the fatherly figure for her.
She keeps talking about Dave as she says that most guys their age are completely self-absorbed.
Aubrey agrees and adds that they never shut up.
Jane proceeds to call them arrogant with their big stupid mouths and takes a swipe at their
certain body parts.
Aubrey gets confused, and asks whether she's talking about Dave, and Jane says that it's
about Brendan Meltzer.
She had been with him but blames that on herself as she had known what kind of guy he was.
She wants to find a man that will talk to her, and act like a gentleman with her.
Aubrey lets her thoughts come out, but she stops herself from exposing her feelings for
Dave.
In the house, we see Dave and Ronnie.
Ronnie asks Dave where he had met his girlfriend, and Dave says that they had met at an alley.
He says that she is pretty great and Dave agrees.
He continues to talk about her and says that he doesn't usually go for the high school
girls, because they are immature and needy.
Aubrey isn't like the typical high school girl according to her boyfriend; she is inspiring
so much so that he has written a song about her.
He looks Dave straight in the eyes, and tells him that he is going to get intimate with
her tonight.
This pisses Dave off but he doesn't show it.
Ronnie proceeds to rub it in his face, and Dave gets more and more upset.
Ronnie leaves and Dave goes to find Aubrey.
He finds her playing the piano, and sits next to her.
She asks him why he's never told her that he had a sister, and he says that it had never
come up.
He says that it's his half-sister and it didn't matter, because their father wasn't in their
lives anymore.
She asks about his father, and he reveals that he has remarried and livs in Stonington.
Aubrey laughs and says that she has had a completely different image of him in her head,
and laughs because it's silly to form a picture of someone's life after meeting them just
the night before.
Dave cuts her off and begs her not to make Ronnie her first.
She calls Ronnie unbelievable, but asks Dave to give her one solid reason as to why she
shouldn't.
Aubrey says that it's some beautiful things are a treasure she needs to guard until she
finds the right person.
There isn't the right guy for her, and she just wants to get it over with.
She just wants a quick and safe way to get to that point, and even admits to having Ronnie's
test results that came out good, so she knows she's in good hands.
She asks him again why she can't just get over with it.
He tells her that he believes in finding the perfect one, and that Ronnie isn't the perfect
one for her.
She tells him that he's in love with Jane so there isn't a point to it; the best they
can do is for him to go to her, and she to go to Ronnie.
Dave smiles and she asks him the reason for him smiling.
He teases her saying she likes him.
Aubrey starts denying, but they get closer to each other; right as they're about to kiss
Ronnie comes through the door, and tells her that they need to leave.
She asks for a minute, and Ronnie tells her that they need to go immediately.
He says he's sober enough to drive even though he clearly isn't.
Dave offers to give them a ride, and Ronnie screams at him to mind his business.
Dave has had enough, so he insults Ronnie, which results in him getting punched and falling
to the ground.
Everyone comes to the room and Dave's friends come to protect him.
Simon even comes after Ronnie himself, even though he is smaller than him.
The owner of the house comes and tells everyone to leave.
Aubrey says that she will leave with Ronnie, and Dave looks at her, hurt.
Dave puts an ice pack on his head to cool down the swelling, and Jane comes to check
on him.
She asks him whether he's fine and he says yes.
Jane starts talking about Aubrey and even calls her cute; Dave agrees but tells her
that they have left.
She calls her boyfriend cute but admits that she's over boys.
Dave reminds her that she says the same thing every time, but she tells him that it's different
this time.
She notices that Dave has been weird and asks him about it.
He sits up and they get face to face.
She back away as they're about to kiss.
He starts his speech from the letter, but ends it after the first line with "I have
to go."
He gets in his car and proceeds to go on one of his therapy rides.
While driving, he gets a text from Aubrey telling him to pick her up.
She gets in the car and immediately tells him that she has broken up with Ronnie, and
she didn't do it for him but it is his fault.
She tells him that she can't jump into a relationship with him immediately, because she doesn't
know whether she'll like him tomorrow.
He tells her that he will drive all night so he doesn't mess it up by the morning.
After some time they drive past an accident scene.
They see the car from last night completely crushed.
Those guys had invited them for a ride, and as soon as she realizes that she tells him
to pull over, because she's going to be sick.
They go to a parking lot and she ends up throwing up on the side.
Stuff like such had never been a problem to her, but she thinks that sometimes everything
can be really harsh, and doesn't believe that she can handle it.
She doubts whether she can be strong enough to be on her own.
He tells her that she won't be, and even says that she will never be on her own because
she has her family and him.
She smiles and kisses him in a rush as the sparks fly.
He takes her back to her place, but she can't seem to keep herself away from him as she
can't get enough of his kisses.
The next morning, we can see Aubrey doing her homework, however, she gets bored and
calls Dave.
He tells her that he wasn't going to bother her, because she has homework.
She asks whether she can join him.
He tells her that his sister is with him, and she's more than welcome to join them.
Aubrey gets there and they sit on a bench while Dave tells her his future plans.
He reveals that his sister wants to go on a rollercoaster, and they have the whole summer
to do it.
Aubrey asks about the father's whereabouts and Dave reveals that his father had had a
drug problem, and he had gotten himself into debt which made him move away.
The saddest thing is that his daughter really liked him, and Dave doesn't want her to feel
left alone after he leaves for college.
Aubrey gets home and sees her parents getting ready.
She asks them where they're going, and they say they're going to an event.
She realizes that the house would be empty, so she invites Dave to come over.
Dave gets ready but contemplates whether to be prepared; he ends up being prepared.
He rings the doorbell, and she is surprised to see him with a huge box in his hand.
He sets it in her room and she asks what is in the box.
He tells her that he had gotten her something, simple and nothing special.
She opens the box immediately and sees old magazines and newspapers; he tells her that
she can cut them up for her collage.
He thinks that it was a stupid idea, and she tells him that she "digs him".
This brings a smile to the young boy's face, as he leans in closer to kiss her.
They kiss and things get heated, but Aubrey soon breaks it by showing him a song that
she had downloaded.
They start listening to the song but Dave gets closer to her and they kiss again.
Things get heated again, but Aubrey breaks things off again as she doesn't want to rush
things.
They start kissing again, and this time they take it to bed.
While kissing, Aubrey asks him whether he came prepared, but Dave denies.
She says that's good because he didn't think of her as that type of girl.
She reveals she is prepared.
They end up getting intimate for the first time with each other.
We see a confused and worried Dave sitting on the edge of the bed, while Aubrey's taking
a shower.
She finishes showering, but can't seem to get out of the bathroom.
She calms herself down and manages to get out.
She sits down next to Dave, and reveals that she thinks that it could be better and more
fun.
She tells him that it isn't his fault, and he agrees.
This shocks her and she asks whether he thinks it's her fault.
He says that it is nobody's fault, and that people just don't go together.
She asks him whether he thinks that's them, and he says that he doesn't know but believes
that it should've gone a different way.
He reveals that it had felt weird and not right.
Both of them start freaking out, and they agree that they've made a mistake.
Aubrey tries to ease the situation, but her comment about her doing anything but her homework
leaves Dave in disbelief.
He starts to leave and before he does, he says that he will call her.
She agrees, but stops him by telling him she will call him.
She also adds that she has a crazy couple of weeks coming, and Ronnie is constantly
calling her as well.
She doesn't know whether she will go back to him.
She knows that he has to spend time with his sister, so getting into a relationship isn't
the smartest idea.
Dave understands what she's trying to say and leaves immediately.
He calls his friends and asks them to meet him at the café.
He tells them that he slept with Aubrey, but admits that it is much better before one does
it, because after, it's not as exciting.
He admits that he just wants to go back to the beginning.
Simon tells him that he should let it go, and not worry about it, but the other friend
says that he shouldn't let one bump in the road discourage him from fighting for the
relationship.
Simon asks him what has been so special about Aubrey that made him forget Jane that fast
and that puts Dave in thought.
Ronnie ends up calling Aubrey, and starts apologizing.
She says that she's tired and wants to go to bed, and he understands but begs her not
to break up with him.
She hangs up the phone and ends up staying up all night long.
The morning comes and she gets ready for school.
She sees her parents and stops for a moment to appreciate them and tell them that she
loves them, even though she knows she doesn't do that a lot.
She admits that she has met a really good boy but she had driven him away.
Her parents are in shock and don't know what to say.
Aubrey gets out but she is startled by Dave; he tells her that he doesn't know much about
relationships and love, but he wants to keep talking to her, he wants to know how her day's
been, what she's had for breakfast, all of those small things that make their relationship
grow.
He wants to argue with her; to listen to her theories even though they're wrong.
He knows that it's not simple but if she's willing to continue the conversation with
him, they can figure it out.
Aubrey says that she's late for school but asks for a ride once Dave tries to leave.
On their way there, Aubrey tells him that she's willing to continue the conversation
with him, but she would also like to work on their intimacy.
They get to the school and Dave opens the door for her like the true gentleman he is.
She asks him whether he wants to pick her up after school right before the bell rings.
She doesn't kiss Dave; she just rushes to get inside.
Halfway to the entrance Aubrey lets her feeling rush through, so she rushes back to Dave and
they share a sweet kiss.
