A Karina le encanta la música country. Anhela llenar su guardarropa con botas, flecos y sombreros de vaquero. Pero a ninguna de sus amigas le gusta esa mirada. Llevan pantalones deportivos, sudaderas con capucha y las últimas zapatillas de deporte. Los padres de Karina le regalaron sus botas de vaquero para su cumpleaños, pero están guardadas en el fondo de su armario.
