ENTER THE WORLD OF Lipgloss Meet Meg. She\'s sweet, rich, a campus queen, a circle of privileged friends -- she has everything a teen could wish for...or does she? What lies beyond charmed life and sophisticated existence? Meet Abby, Meg\'s best friend, overcompensating albeit sometimes insecure. If not for Meg, she would be the campus\' queen bee. She grudgingly accepts playing second to Meg in the popularity contest since she has the undivided attention of her boyfriend and politician\'s scion, Jake...or does she really? What happens if she finds out that Jake has a penchant for Meg? Meet Kyle, Edge, Jake, Maui and Jiggo, the boys of Linden High. To the outside world, they are a cool bunch of well-heeled boys, rich or talented enough to be included in the school roster. But beyond the cool, devil-may-care attitudes are deep personal hurts and motivations that propel their dealings with their world and with their loves. And finally, meet Steph, Ziggy, and Louise. Steph is the veritable mean girl fired by a determination to dethrone Meg and Abby from their exalted status in campus. Ziggy is the balikbayan who wants to fit in even if her financial status is not congruent to her social dreams. Louise is the Chinese heiress who just wants to live a normal teen\'s life. Perky Charina Suzara on the other hand plays the indomitable Juvilee, who thinks that wealth brought about by lottery winnings can bring her to the \"in\" circle. These are some of the interesting kids of Linden High whose personal dramas are all revealed in the website LIPGLOSS.
