High school senior, Dave, meets junior, Aubrey, outside a house party, while rehearsing a confession of love for his best friend, Jane. The police bust the party, and Aubrey asks Dave to walk her home despite having a boyfriend. She invites him to her room, and they have wine and talk. Aubrey asks him if he is still a virgin, and he admits he is. However, she refuses to answer the same question. Then they accidentally fall asleep. The next morning, Aubrey's mother's knock wakes them, so Dave sneaks out the window. Dave meets with his friends, Simon and Big Corporation, for breakfast, and they believe Aubrey may have lied about having a boyfriend. That night Dave, Jane, and their friends go to the movies. Aubrey also unexpectedly shows up with her boyfriend, Ronny. During the movie, Aubrey gets jealous at how close Dave and Jane are getting and leaves the theater, and Dave follows her. Dave gets her cell number and invites her and Ronny to a gathering afterwards.
Later, Aubrey and Jane talk about Dave. She sees Jane has high praise for him, but does not appreciate him. Meanwhile, a drunk Ronny brags that he and Aubrey are planning to have sex that night. Dave finds Aubrey and tells her not to do it as her first time should be with someone special. She opposes the romantic notion of the first time being so important and says it is none of his business. Ronny finds them and tells Aubrey they need to go. Dave intercedes, nearly fighting before his buddies intervene. Aubrey leaves with Ronny. At the end of the party, Dave is in a bedroom with Jane, and he realizes he would rather be with Aubrey and leaves. He gets a text from Aubrey asking him to pick her up, he obliges. As Dave and Aubrey cruise, she tells him she broke up with Ronny, and they hold hands. They then pass the aftermath of a car accident, teens who had offered them a ride right the previous night. Upsetting Aubrey, Dave pulls over. They realize their mutual feelings and kiss.
They meet at a park with Dave's little sister Stella the next day. Aubrey's parents are out for the night, so she invites Dave over. He contemplates bringing a condom, but decides against it. As they make out, they hesitate before deciding to have sex. Dave awkwardly puts on a condom Aubrey has. Afterwards, both are upset as it felt unsatisfying, and feel awkward talking about it. Everything they say makes it worse, so they agree it was a mistake and should not see each other. However, they both regret it; Aubrey keeps hoping Dave will call, while he repeatedly starts to, but hangs up.
Meeting with Simon and Big Corporation, he tells them the idea of sex was better than the reality. Big Corporation tells him he and Aubrey just hit a speed bump because it was their first time, but they should try again. The following morning, Aubrey tells her parents she regrets pushing Dave away, and they try to soothe her. When she walks outside, Dave is waiting for her in the driveway. He declares his feelings and wants to try again. She acts uninterested, but asks for a ride to school. In the car, she agrees they should try again and work on the sex, and he is relieved. As he drops her off, they say goodbye awkwardly, but she runs back, breaking her no PDA rule with a warm, passionate kiss.
