The rest of the junior class is amazed that no-nonsense Kate could hook such a hottie, and one by one they approach her for help hooking their own. She doesn't know anything about getting guys, but for $100 a pop, she's more than willing to invent a six-step plan for How to Hook a Hottie. And how could that possibly backfire?
