Melanie feels left out....

Melanie thought she'd love being in Jr. High, but all her friends are in so many activities, she feels they don't care about what SHE'S doing and all they do is talk about stuff they're up to. So she decides to snub them and get popular so that they'll be jealous. Of course, her way of doing it, is to get popular boys in school to like her. Then, two of them kiss her, and she starts spreading it around. A lot of girls are jealous, until Mel gets mono or 'the kissing disease'. I think this part is silly because when she goes back to school, no one wants to be near her because they're afraid she'll get it, even the boys who supposedly 'like her'. Things turn out in the end, and I enjoyed reading this book, though I thought the plot was a little silly.
