Mclean and Dave grow close and talk about dating. Mclean is angry that her mother refuses to take any responsibility or apologize for breaking up the family. She threatens to involve her lawyer unless Mclean will see her more. She tries to make Mclean feel guilty for not visiting or communicating enough. Meanwhile, Mclean’s mother calls her constantly. When Opal, the Luna Blu manager, agrees to construct a model of the city in exchange for added parking spaces for the restaurant, Mclean and her friends take over the project, which becomes a bonding experience and a metaphor for fitting the pieces of their own lives together. She also befriends a sweet but quirky girl named Deb. Mclean becomes friends with Dave’s buddies - Ellis, Riley and Heather. Dave is a genius with protective, health-nut parents, who disapprove of his decision to go to a public high school. She meets her neighbor Dave when he saves her from getting caught with alcohol during a police raid at a party. Mainly by accident, Mclean allows new acquaintances to know her by her real name and personality. Her theory works until she and Dad move to Lakeview, where Dad tries to save a dying restaurant called Luna Blu. As long as she can pretend to be someone else, Mclean is convinced she’ll never get too attached, and it won’t hurt to say goodbye. In each new place, she invents a unique identity for herself. She’s followed her dad, a restaurant consultant, from city to city. Ever since Mclean’s mom left her dad for the coach of Dad’s favorite college basketball team, 17-year-old Mclean has been on the move.
