Class of 2010 life long friends, try to make the most of their last year of high-school, before entering into the harsh, adult world. You only experience high-school once, so live like there is no tomorrow.

Set at a summer camp “Camp Sunny Seed”, for teens on the edge of adulthood, Don’t Squeeze Me, follows main character Emma (16), an anthro ruby red grapefruit. Over the summer in camp, she forms a tight-knit friend group and grows especially close to Terri, a confident and kind white oak acorn, who quickly becomes the center of Emma’s world. As camp days fill with new friendships, career dreams, and late-night talks, Emma begins to realize her feelings for Terri might be more than friendship. Unsure if those feelings are mutual, and afraid of risking the relationships she’s built, Emma navigates the complicated space between self-discovery and self-protection.
