Anthony Middle School, but she's convinced she's the biggest-and the best.Rory's new song "Worldwide Crush" is climbing the charts, and his lyrics are clear: he's looking for love-and he's looking in the audience. Meaning Millie's secret fantasies of running in the surf and eating waffles with him may not be crazy after all . . . she could be that girl! But first she has to get to his concert-his completely sold-out concert in a city nowhere near her home for which she does not have tickets or a ride. She just has to figure out how.
