Senior Crush

Red is a sixteen-year-old high-school girl in Budapest in the 2000s. Since her mother's untimely death, she has been raised by her extroverted father Arthur, who has a strong personality and despises all the "losers". Red admires her father and tries to be as much like him, so she seizes every opportunity to be the centre of attention. One day, she gets an opportunity to appear on a television program. In order to do this, she needs the technical help of the school’s grumpy IT guy, "Mr. Toad." Their relationship turns into a deep crush for Toad, who chases her away in a humiliating way. At the end of the story, Red learns a lot about her relationships with men and begins to open up as a more empathetic, human person, seeking real connections.
