Separated by popularity, Lynette sits alone at the far end of the cafeteria. A loner for good reason, but to her classmates that makes her weird and unapproachable. Curious about Lynette’s mysterious solitary ways, popular athlete Troy takes an interest in her. He tries to connect with Lynette but then realizes he may have gotten more than he can handle- Tales of the Text presents “Deadly Crush”.
