He gets stuck with a new tutor Sunna who he dismisses as a boring nerd until he catches her secretly practicing cool yo-yo tricks. Cory wants to learn the art of yo-yo and as his friendship with Sunna grows he ends up missing practice and bailing on his crew -- and they are not happy about it. With mounting pressure coming from all sides how is Cory supposed to balance the expectations of his parents school dance and his new friend?
