In the name of love, she is accepted to the school and the fun begins. As one might imagine Elle has some trouble fitting into Harvard and the only person willing to help her is a teacher's assistant named Emmett Forrest. Elle thinks it is hear blonde hair that is holding her back so she decided to go brunette. At the salon Elle runs into her ex -boyfriend's new fiancée, Vivienne, who surprisingly invites her to a party.

Elle is not discouraged and holds her head high as she sets out to find Warner to attempt to get him back. Unfortunately, he still is not interested. Elle leaves the party very upset. She runs into Emmett, the teaching assistant, who tries to get her to realize that her love for Warner is what is actually holding her back.
