The long hot summer is over and Rae is starting her first year at sixth form college. She's determined that things will be different this year, but she quickly starts to struggle under the pressure.

Without Finn in her life, Rae feels lonely in college and struggles to make friends. When the chance comes to be a part of the cool gang, she has to decide how far she'll go to fit in.

Rae is desperate to be treated like an adult, so she's staying out late and pushing the boundaries at home. But when she starts to hang out with a group of older lads, things turn nasty.

Rae is furious when it looks like Chloe is going to let her down again, but a surprise discovery forces her to see things through Chloe's eyes for a change.

It is a very dark period of Rae's life without her friends and mum being around for support. She's managed to alienate everybody and now a crisis with Chloe leaves her feeling helpless.
