Bad Together
When Jenny and her school rival Ben find their best friends coupled in a relationship, the two carry out a plan to break them up by spreading rumors through the school. However, the plan gets out of hand when the couple breaks apart, and to make amends, Jenny and Ben work together again to bring the couple back together. In the end, the two bring their friends back together, accept the couple’s relationship, and find new friendship in each other.
