Main Plot

Alli is extremely stressed out, due to all the hard work that she has been putting into school. To praise her for her continuous efforts in academics, Alli’s mother and father reward her with a brand-new car. With the shiny new car keys in her hands at last, Alli is able to easily transport herself, Eli, and Clare to the upcoming Jay-Z concert. Alli is allowed to bring a date to the show with her, and she considers taking Dave. However, Dave refuses to talk to her after their breakup. Despite her busy schedule, she promises to not blow him off again and meet him at The Dot for wings, to which Dave half-heartedly agrees. She arrives late after spending extra time tutoring Cam, and Dave walks out after telling her that he has no time for her if she can’t make time for him.

After Dave angrily walks out, Dallas walks into The Dot, who spends the evening hanging out with Alli instead. The two have fun by hanging out in a pool together. Alli talks to him about her workload and he tells her about how he got hooked on pills to keep himself awake because he was so busy. Dallas spots Alli’s Jay-Z tickets and she gives him one for helping her to finally have fun. The next day she regrets hanging out the night before because it’s put her behind on her schoolwork. She goes to Dallas to ask him where to get pills that can keep her awake, and he reluctantly tells her.
