Louise is going steady with Kip, a longtime friend, even though he’s overweight (due to a glandular condition) and this makes her friends mock her. Louise finally breaks up with Kip when he embarrasses her by breaking an antique chair, and she starts dating Carl. However, Kip’s singing prowess at the school show makes him a hit with the other students. Louise is ashamed but knows “he’ll come back to me” and this time she won’t let peer pressure break them apart.
