Line 33:
Ryan Woodman is a bit of a geek with eyes for the school's most popular girl, Ashley Grant. This induces cringing in his neighbor and best friend, Maggie Carter, a cute, intellectual girl. Football jock Chris Campbell, who happens to be Ashley's cousin, has his eyes on Maggie, though.
 
Chris offers to help Ryan getwoo the girl of his dreams if he does the same for him with Maggie. They agree on the deal, so Ryan composes soulful e-mails for Chris to use with Maggie, while Chris advises Ryan to treat Ashley like dirt, with the reasoning it's the only way to get her attention.
 
At first, neither guy finds it easy to change their ways; Chris comes on too strong for Maggie's liking, and Ryan is too nervous to be a jerk to Ashley. But as they start to succeed, Ryan begins to see Maggie in a new light and wonders if he's pursuing the right girl. He realizes Ashley is not meant for him just as he is working to convince Maggie of Chris's affection for her.
