What’s it like being a teenager in the 90s? I’ll tell you. Anthony’s life would be perfect, if he wasn’t in love with his best friend Omar, who should be worrying about his grades but can only think about girls, especially now that Silvia actually talked to him, but she’s more concerned about someone noticing the legal status of her parents, unlike her best friend Mindy who feels like she’s invisible, especially around boys like Cameron, who doesn’t realize that the guy he’s chatting with online is different than the one he plans on flirting with tomorrow. But besides all that, things are fine. I guess. Oh wait, did you hear what happened to Ricky? Now that was a mess!
