Anita is rude to Echo the first time they meet, and all of Echo's friends seem to like Anita better than her.

Her friends decide to boycott the trip, but Echo has been looking forward to it for weeks. Is Echo willing to look past her jealousy and give up the trip? Or can she find way for everyone to be included in both the ocean trip and her friend group?
