## Plot

07:15, Calvin goes to Carl's room to wake him up for school, to which he asks for five more minutes. Calvin demands Carl to get out of bed or he will drag him to school himself.

Carl goes downstairs feeling very tired, being greeted by his mother Linda, who appears in a cheery mood. Logan asks about Carl's grumpiness, being called out by Calvin for using the word 'ass' in front of Carrie and Sally, to which Sally uses the word on her milk. Carl says he doesn't want to go back to school but Linda assures that it's never as bad as he thinks. Carl claims that he feels that he barely got to do anything he wanted during the Summer but Linda mentions that they went to Legoland only for Carl to say he's a little to old for that. Logan asks what Carl wanted to do, mentioning that all he does is play videogames but Carl claims that he does more than that, mentioning the time he went to Goomburger for Boo's birthday but Logan mentions he was back at eight. Carl states that there's never anything to do so Calvin mentions him getting a job to which Carl refuses, infuriating Calvin, who mentions that he was already working his first job at Carl's age. Linda ensures Carl that he will get to see his friends again, to which Carl hopes they don't grow apart. Carl leaves to get ready for school.

Marvin, Carl's pet Piranha Plant, brings Carl his backpack but finds his sandwich missing. Carl asks his parents why they couldn't drop him off to school and Calvin mentions that they have somewhere to go but Carl states the bar doesn't open until ten. Calvin insists that Carl goes on his best behaviour, mentioning that school is about getting good grades so he can get into a good college. Linda tells Calvin not to yell at Carl as it's his first day, mentioning that he cried when they went to see the school but Carl says it's fine. Linda instructs Carl to go to the principal's office and call her if he ever gets bullied but Calvin ensures that it's fine. Calvin says Logan is going to walk with Carl to make sure he gets to school safely but Logan refuses only for Calvin to demand him to do so. Linda wishes Carl to have a great day.

Carl and Logan are near the school and Logan claims high school is easy but Carl points out that he dropped out, to which Logan says he doesn't need maths to be a successful rapper. Logan then leaves Carl so he can meet Kenny, leaving Carl to go to school himself. He then encounters Gooper and his gang and is confronted by them. Gooper snatches Carl's bag and takes out his lunch from it and eats it. He then throws it to a tree and he and his gang proceeds to harass Carl further. Carl goes to the tree to retrieve his bag and meets a girl sympathising for Carl. Carl introduces himself, to which the girl does the same, as Grace. The two have a short conversation and Carl is hit by his bag after Grace leaves.

At Toad Town High, Carl meets with Blooper and the two starts having a chat. They then meet Dry Bones and Boo, to who Carl asks them about Summer. Dry Bones claims to have been partying in his father's cruise ship, a lie which Carl can obviously see through. Carl and Blooper asks more about the cruise ship, to which Dry Bones makes things up further as Boo falls for them. Dry Bones claims that girls actually talk to him so Carl states that a girl has talked to him today, surprising Blooper and Dry Bones. Dry Bones then claims to have kissed Mary-Lynn once but Carl mentions that she never talked to him in middle school. Dry Bones tries proving it by interacting with Mary-Lynn only for her to tell him to go away. The quartet then goes to their classes.

Carl goes to his classroom and meets Miss Bishop, who mentions to be here for homeroom. Miss Bishop impolitely tells Carl to take a seat. Carl asks Gordy if he can take a seat next to him only to be rudely shouted at. Carl then sits at another seat. Miss Bishop is about to make a speech but is interrupted by Grace entering the classroom late, who claims she couldn't find the classroom as she thought it would be in the top floor. Miss Bishop then scolds her and tells her to take a seat, to which Grace does next to Kylie. Miss Bishop proceeds with her speech, covering the rules such as no bullying or chewing gum. Carl grabs Grace's attention, who in return introduces him to Kylie, her friend in middle school. Miss Bishop tells her class to collect their timetables from the front desk and Carl, Grace and Kylie discuss about theirs.

Dry Bones and Boo meet Carl and Blooper and the former asks why aren't they playing soccer, to which Car asks if he brought a ball only for Dry Bones to claim he isn't bringing his "two-hundred dollar" soccer ball on the pitch, which he claims was used in the real life 1972 world cup. Blooper proceeds to ask about first period with Boo claiming he had the perfect view from Mary-Lynn but couldn't remember what his lesson was whilst Dry Bones mentioned it was Shakespeare. Carl states that his class was okay, mentioning that Roxanne from middle school was there, with Blooper appearing displeased as he claims that she seemed really stuck-up. Dry Bones claims that he and Roxanne kissed in middle school and Roxanne, along with three other girls appear. Carl is surprised that she and Grace know each other as Roxanne mentions that they've been friends for years. Roxanne also introduces to Kylie and Talia, who appears shy. Boo calls Talia hot to Blooper's displeasure but Talia shyly thanks Boo. Dry Bones tells Talia that she should've been there for his thirteenth party and makes up lies. The girls get going and Blooper talks negatively of Roxanne. Dry Bones talks negatively over Kylie saying his party didn't happen. Carl asks about Grace and Blooper says she's nice enough while Boo says she's cute but not as hot as Roxanne. Talia and Roxanne thinks of the boys positively but Kylie thinks of them as weird. Grace believes that Carl seemed nice, to which Kylie does not disagree to.

Blooper talks to Carl about the Switch Era whilst he appears distracted. Blooper asks Carl if he's adjusting to the new school with Carl saying he kind of is. Blooper asks if he is going to see Carl at lunch, with Carl agreeing. They both head to their classes and Carl finds Gooper but also Grace, to who he sits next to. Carl's maths teacher, Mr. Morris introduces himself in an aggressive manner. He then states that the class will be learning about Pythagoras Theorem, asking the class if they know what it is. Mark guesses that it's a type of snake, angering Morris, while Ruby claims no one uses Pythagoras. Roberto comments that if Mr. Morris was a Set 1 teacher, his ex wouldn't have left, enraging Morris who gives him a warning. As Mr. Morris attempts to explain what Pythagoras is, Jim Flaig draws Gooper's attention to Carl. Mr. Morris gives Roberto two more warning points for mentioning his wife as well as saying his teaching methods suck.

As Carl is about to make notes, Gooper throws pencils at Carl for fun, infuriating Carl who retaliates by throwing a calculator at him only to miss as hit Mary-Lynn's face, drawing attention from Morris. Carl claims that Gooper was throwing things at him first but Morris sends Carl to the Principal's office.

Carl enters Principal Steelix's office where he is playing Call of Duty. Carl claims he was sent here by Mr. Morris which makes Steelix question over Morris sending students already only for Carl to clarify he threw a calculator in class. Steelix, however, is occupied by Call of Duty which makes Carl question him, prompting Steelix to pause on his activity. Steelix scolds Carl, claiming that he doesn't need someone else telling him how to do his job and mentions that he worked as a pizza guy but runs a pretty tight ship. He then lets Carl off with a warning but threatens to call Carl's parents if he wastes his time again.

Carl tells his friends about his visit to the Principal's office, being afraid of him calling his parents. Blooper asks Carl what he done to get detention with Carl replying that Gooper was throwing things at him so Blooper says that Gooper is best left ignored. Dry Bones claims that Gooper is chill in addition to saying that they went biking together. Blooper asks Carl why was he the one to get sent to the principal if Gooper was the one throwing things to which Carl answers that he threw a calculator back at him, adding that he hit Mary-Lynn. Blooper slightly scolds Carl, saying that he could get into serious trouble. Carl claims that Gooper was embarrassing him in front of Grace, questioning Blooper on Carl being hung up on the Grace girl. Boo makes the bold statement that Carl likes Grace, to which Carl responds saying that he feels that they could become pretty good friends. Dry Bones claim that Carl will never win Grace because she'll end up with someone like Harry, adding that girls like confidence but Blooper states that they should be focusing on their work and grades in high school, adding that high school relationships barely last, suggesting that Carl should wait until he's older. Boo says that his parents met in high school and he turned out just fine. Carl leaves the table to get in line for a drink but Liam draws Gooper's attention to him and the two leave the table to spill soda on Carl, having everyone laugh and Carl leaving the scene.

Carl cries outside and calls his mom but her phone is on her desk so he calls Calvin but hangs up the moment he answers the call. Blooper, Dry Bones and Boo appear to aid Carl but Carl insists on going home, demanding to go to another school. Boo begs Carl to stay at school but Carl says that everyone in the school was laughing at him. However, Blooper claims that this type of thing probably happens in the school everyday but Carl mentions that he was right next to Grace when it happened and that she probably thinks he's a loser, to which Blooper claims that she's not going to think that because Carl was soaked in soda. Carl asks how is he supposed to show his face without getting laughed at so Dry Bones tells him that it'd be worse if Carl left over this, asking if he'd rather be the guy who pussied out of high school because he got soda thrown at him, with Blooper agreeing with Dry Bones. Carl worries over everyone laughing at him the next class but Blooper assures that most people focus more on not embarassing themselves, with Dry Bones adding that some people probably already forgotten what happened in addition to Boo proving his point. The trio comfort Carl as they take him to clean himself up.

Carl enters his classroom and Roberto immediately calls him Soda Popinski. Carl apologises to Ms. Bishop as he needed to clean himself up and sits next to Tucker, who points him out as the kid from the cafeteria. Carl says he knows it's funny but Mark adds that it's not as funny as when he threw a calculator at Mary-Lynn with Harry adding that she was still pissed when Carl went to Steelix's office. Carl mentions to have gone to middle school with Mary-Lynn, mentioning the time when she threw a tantrum in class because the teacher didn't let her use the bathroom during a test. Tucker mentions Gooper being in some bad circles and Carl adds that he was also in his middle school. Mark claims that Gooper done way worse things out of school with Harry adding that he got kicked out of a birthday party for starting a food fight when he was ten but was corrected to eight. Tucker advices Carl to try to ignore Gooper and Carl believes the school isn't as bad as it seemed.

Carl goes outside to meet his friends and Blooper mentions to have told him that there's nothing to worry about. He is then met by Grace and the girls, apologising for what happened in the cafeteria but Carl tells her not to worry about it. Roxanne tells Carl that Gooper is like this with everyone and adds that she used to date him for a few months in Middle School until he cheated on her with Mary-Lynn. Grace mentions Gooper's taste in women and the groups start a casual conversation. Blooper claims middle school relationships are a waste of time so Roxanne asks him if he had been in one, with Blooper replying that he hasn't as he prefers to focus on his schoolwork. Kylie calls Blooper's childhood boring and Blooper asks how is it boring to get good grades, with Talia mentioning that Roxanne gets good grades and has been in around three relationships. The girls depart and Carl and his friends plan to go to Goomburgers. Liam spots Carl and draws Gooper's gangs' attention to him, suggesting to spill something at him, but Gooper has a different idea but fails executing it by throwing a rock at Steelix's window, giving him a black eye, to which Gooper's gang flee. Steelix orders Gooper to go to his office.
