The Heartbreak High trailer brings us to the first heartbreak experienced by Amerie that happens when her best friend Harper dumps her and along with their “perfect friendship”, her world starts falling apart too. However, the whole scenario in the school reflects her own predicament or is maybe even worse for some. Many relationships are outed without due notice, all because of her detailed relationship chart.
That’s when her new ‘reject’ friends encourage her to “just strut out there and own (her) sh*t”. And so she does. Cue a colorful montage of teenagers going through a rush and having the time of their lives.
With comic reliefs here and there, the trailer promises you a long exciting ride once the show comes around. Check out Amerie and her friends’ antics this September on Netflix.
