Description

Stacey's friendship with Laine Cummings is tested when Laine visits Stoneybrook and displays a more mature and snobby attitude, having changed after her time in New York City. The visit, meant to be fun, turns sour as Laine criticizes Stacey's interests in sleepovers and babysitting, preferring high school parties and boasting about her older boyfriend. Faced with these differences, Stacey grapples with the loneliness and change that comes with possibly losing her childhood friend.
