Her family thinks she's nuts, her best friend won't speak to her, and, as if it's not all complicated enough, Jared starts crushing on Lexi and Devon starts crushing on Jared's best friend, Luke. Devon knows there's only one way to handle this - she'll just have to become popular! But how is Devon supposed to accomplish that when she's never even talked to Jared, much less dated him?! And it seems the more Devon tries to keep up her "image," the more things go wrong. Not when Lexi is standing at the front of Devon's class, having just moved to Devon's town.

In this alternative world, all the mighty religions of today – Christianity, Judaism and Islam in particular – have withered away after “The Great Change,” when all the old gods returned to Earth.

Brighton want to integrate youngster in first teamīrighton are planning on promoting Simon Adingra to their first-team squad next season and disappointing Championship and European clubs who want him on loan. While he is under contract at Burnley, it is thought the newly promoted club would allow him to leave again. However, discussions have not started over a further deal for Weghorst, who as it stands will return to Turf Moor but also has interest from Premier League teams following his return to English football.

Weghorst, 30, made it clear he wanted to join United and would look at staying beyond the current campaign, having scored goals against Nottingham Forest and Real Betis. United took over Besiktas’ season-long deal in January as Erik ten Hag wanted striker cover, then started his fellow Dutchman in 19 consecutive games when a deal was struck over £2.5million compensation. Manchester United have yet to open talks with Wout Weghorst staying at Old Trafford beyond this summer when his loan from Burnley expires. I also love that the grand prize is a cake stand.
