‘The only exciting thing about 2002 is that it’s a palindrome.’

Christine wants to go to the East Coast where American culture flourishes, like New York. The funny part is she is not even worth state tuition because of her lousiness.
The ‘immaculate heart’ girl is now passing the most beautiful period that is adolescence. This age will make you wonder at everything you see and she falls in love with Danny. Danny and Christine are having a sweet jiff under a starry night. Romantic music, adrifting in the air. Having done some small talks, on the spur of the moment they kiss.

At one point, Christine asks her to give a number for how much it cost to raise her. She is gonna pay her off by earning a lot of money. But mom again breaks off saying she is not gonna gain that ability.
But all her efforts don’t give her anything good. Kyle and Christine deflower each other but he already has had sex with six people and she ends up knowing they are selfish.
