High school feels overwhelming for new girl Cassie and Maggie, who find themselves among the most awkward students.

However, they face fierce competition from rivals Heather and Other Heather, along with their popular boyfriends, who will do anything to keep them out of the spotlight.

What happens in First Period from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Ms. Glenn, Cassandra Peterson, returns to the town she once knew with her teenage daughter, Brandon Alexander III Cassie, after the family loses Cassie’s grandmother and Cassie’s mom loses her job. The setup signals a bright, 80s-flavored comedy-drama where nostalgia, fashion, and social games collide. Cassie, the “new kid” at school, narrates her own story in a diary, sounding confident and self-assured from the very first page. She doesn’t shy away from her appearance or mannerisms, joking about how she “looks and talks like an overweight drag queen,” a line that sets the tone for a girl who pushes boundaries and refuses to play by textbook norms.
