  <default-description>When Frederick shows up at school, Xio is thrilled. The new boy is shy, cute, and definitely good boyfriend material. Before long, she pulls him into her lively circle of friends.&lt;P&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;P&gt;Frederick knows he should be flattered by Xio's attention. After all, she's popular, pretty, and a lot of fun. So why can't he stop thinking about Victor, the captain of the soccer team, instead?&lt;P&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

First, Carmen is the type of girl that is not shy on asking or telling people what other thing about them.
