Plot Idea for a New Story.

A popular kid's practical joke goes disastrously awry. He is given a slap on the hand by the High School Dean, however a story is written up in the Student Newspaper about the incident and is posted online. His name gets black listed when he seeks a job and then when he realizes it may affect his college prospects. Faced with this fact he only has 6 months to correct his image and rehabilitate his name. To do this, he must perform good deeds in order to erase his defamed name from the Internet or not go to the College of his dreams.

Subplot #1- The HS Journalist who writes the article is a girl who hates what this kid (Johnny) has done. The victim also happens to be a in a circle of friends she runs with. However, she doesn't like him and kind of has a crush on Johnny. But for idealistic reasons won't give him a break by writing any good stories about him. Johnny finally realized that he needs to persuade her in order to make things right.
