Main Plot[]

While filming scenes for Eli's new feature film, Maya asks Zig if he would like to go on a date after they finish their scenes for the day. Zig is uncertain about this and asks her "what about Cam?", which Maya replies sarcastically and rudely to. As she backs away, rejected, she bumps into a boy named Harry, whom she begins to flirt with. Later on, Maya is seen at her house looking at herself in the mirror, wearing a see-through shirt that exposes her bra and tight fitting jeans. Katie questions her outfit and asks her if she's going through a "phase" where she dresses slutty. Maya blows off her questions and warnings about the school dress policy, concerning her sister further. When Maya asks if she thinks its too soon to get a new boyfriend, Katie says, while it's ultimately up to her as to when she feels ready, it is. They depart for school, but Maya pauses to look down at her tennis shoes questionably.

Maya later shows up at school wearing new four inch heels--indicating that she traded in her tennis shoes for these-- with the same outfit as before. She struts down the hallways in her new outfit, drawing the attentions of every boy and girl in the hall. She meets up with Tristan, and says how she is determined to get a new cute boy, who reluctantly agrees with her. The two become excited when they get invited to Drew's campaign party, their first "senior party".

Later on, Maya comes down stairs in a skimpy outfit that consists of leather short shorts, a loose fitting short and high inch heels When her mother questions her fashion choices, she informs her she was invited to a senior party. Her mother quickly tells her she's not allowed to go to the party, and she has to practice for her cello auditions. Maya calls Tristan and pretends to tell him she cannot go to the party, for the satisfaction of her mother. As her mother leaves, she later tells him to meet her at the corner.

At the party, Maya picks up a drink and offers it to Tristan, who declines. Tristan goes to talk to Dave, leaving Maya by herself. Maya struggles with opening the drink. Noticing this, Harry goes over and opens it for her. Harry introduces Maya to Talia and the three begin partying together. Zig texts Maya asking if they can talk. Maya takes a picture with Harry and Talia and sends it as a reply, with the caption "too soon?".

Later on, Zig arrives at the party looking for Maya. He finds Tristan, who tells him Maya has had a few drinks. Zig confronts Maya and tries to get her to leave with him, but Maya refuses. She begins to taunt Zig, saying that he could have been her boyfriend right now. but that he instead blew it. Zig calls Maya a mean drunk and leaves the party. Tristan assures him he will get her home safely, just as Maya climbs on top of a nearby table, yelling at the crowd if they wanted to have some fun. The crowd cheers her on as she begins jumping drunkenly up and down as Tristan rubs his face in exasperation. 

Maya, Harry, and Talia go into a bedroom for some privacy and collapse on the bed together. As Maya laments on how she's glad to have met them because they don't look at her with a pity look, Talia, after looking through her phone, realizes that she was Campbell Saunders's girlfriend. After discussing further, Talia records a video of Maya saying that she didn't ask to be "the girlfriend of the dead guy" and for everyone to "get over it". As Talia talks about the world and how useless parties are, Harry makes a move on Maya, kissing her neck. As he asks if it was okay, she comments on how she doesn't really know him. Harry tells her that's the whole point and they begin making out. Talia sees the two, smirks, and begins to records them on Maya's phone. Maya looks up and sees her recording them. She simply smirks and resumes kissing Harry. 

After the party, Maya sneaks into her house late at night. She receives a Facerange message from Zig asking if she is okay. She replies with a "yup", then proceeds to post the video of her and Harry making out on her Facerange page. She then looks upward, grinning in satisfaction.
