Scott is soon connected every morning to another classmate, Louden, who is better known as Mouth. Scott finds that he's not in classes with any of his three best friends, Mitch, Kyle, and Patrick, because he's carrying all honors classes and college prep classes. He likes English from the beginning and Mr. Franka becomes a mentor to him.

He runs for student government and wins a seat only to discover that Julia had not won her own run for freshman class president. When he resigns his seat on the council, others quickly follow and Julia winds up holding the office after all. He tries out for the senior play and is selected as a member of the crew only to discover that Julia isn't picked for the cast or crew.

Scott tries to find the place where he'll fit in but his best friends are slipping away. Mitch quickly gets a girlfriend who takes all his time and Patrick moves away, first to Texas then to Japan. Kyle joins the wrestling team and soon puts Scott down for his crush on Julia. Time passes and Julia's boyfriend, Vernon, beats Scott up. Scott realizes that what a person says and does can have a profound impact on the life of another when Mouth attempts suicide. He also learns that people are not always what they seem.
In the midst of the whirlwind of his freshman year, Scott's older brother Bobby is struggling to find his own place in the world and Scott discovers that Bobby can barely read.
