What happens in Not Like Everyone Else 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

Shortly after the Columbine High School massacre, Union Intermediate High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma becomes one of many schools nationwide that tighten security measures in an effort to prevent another tragedy.

Brandi Blackbear writes Stephen King–inspired horror stories and dresses in a goth style, a combination that sets her apart from her peers. Her defiance catches the attention of many at school, and the atmosphere around her thickens with suspicion. As she continues to explore dark themes for inspiration—often checking out a world religions book that includes Wicca—rumors begin to swirl. Fellow students interpret her curiosity as a threat, labeling her a witch and accusing her of casting a spell that sickens a teacher. The fear surrounding Brandi spreads quickly, and she is suspended again.
