I feel like I’m about to cop out on you. Yes, I’m back, after all this time.

Why do I have to do this again?”
That is, I watched a young, middle-school aged girl fake dating the lead male. The plot was slightly different, in the end, but it was still completely uninteresting overall. A few bits and pieces were funny, thankfully.
