Easy A
Easy A (stylized as easy A) is a 2010 American teen romantic
Plot
The story is narrated by Olive Penderghast, a 17-year-old high school student living in Ojai, California, speaking into her webcam. Desperate to avoid going on a camping trip with her best friend Rhiannon Abernathy and Rhiannon's hippie parents, Olive dishonestly claims she is going on a date with a college boy that weekend; truthfully, she stays home all weekend listening to "Pocketful of Sunshine" from a musical greeting card her grandmother sent her. Pressed by Rhiannon the following Monday, Olive eventually lies about having lost her virginity to her fictional date. Prudish, devout Christian student Marianne Bryant overhears their conversation, and Olive's story soon spreads throughout the school. The school's church group, run by Marianne, decides to "save" Olive from her supposed promiscuity. Olive confides the truth to her classmate Brandon, a gay student who is bullied for his sexual orientation. She agrees to serve as his "beard" and pretend to have sex with him at a teen party so people will believe he is straight.
