Anya has enough on her plate already with trying to fit in, seem cool and general school drama but now she has a ghost to worry about too.

Having a ghost as a companion--one she uses to her advantage until she realizes she's unleashed far more than shes bargained for--gives Anya a new perspective on life and her peers, ultimately leading her to reflect inwardly on herself.
