This is Your School Part 1

### Official Overview

On Adam Hendrickson's first day of high school, we join Adam and his friends "The Gang" on their first day at Whitelake High School, where the groundwork for The Adam Hendrickson Show will be laid, according to The Storyteller, a seemingly omnipotent purple suited man playing narrator.

### Synopsis

We are greeted by a purple-suited man who calls himself The Storyteller. He gives us some quick exposition on Adam Hendrickson before The Storyteller jumps into the opening musical number, "Come In". In the song, we see more of The Storyteller's capabilities, before being taken to Whitelake High School, a place where The Storyteller says there is "not a place I'd rather be". The instrumental section of the song follows Adam as he enters Whitelake High for the first time, finding where he's supposed to go, and taking a seat in the auditorium. The song has a grand finale before we cut directly to Adam, whom we follow the rest of the episode.

The first thing we see Adam do is look around him, and then he pulls out a blue notebook. We see sheet music with the title of "The Victorians Main Theme". He gazes at it for a second, before he realizes that Arjun has crept on him, one of Adam's friends. The two talk about being in high school for the first time, and Adam points out the enormous size of the auditorium. Suddenly, Tyler shows up! and then James! and then Scott! Suddenly The Gang has found themselves and are all seated next to each other.

Just as quickly, Dr. Hoffman, the principal of Whitelake High School attempts to quiet the roaring auditorium down. After one swift yell, she begins speaking, explaining who she is. She tells the students that once they are dismissed from the auditorium, they are to go into the hallway and find their groups, in which they will be given a tour of the school. Meanwhile, The Gang is discussing their class schedules. Scott notices that he won't have lunch with any of The Gang (except for the occasion that the class schedule is altered, ex. The First Day). As Arjun is commenting on this, the auditorium is silenced once more by the booming voice of Mr. B. He brusquely commands the students to get moving, for they still have classes.

Out in the hallway, Adam has his own conversation with Arjun about his class schedule, where he notes that he is apparently signed up for Keyboarding Class. He wonders if perhaps it is something like a piano class, and Arjun plays along with him jokingly, but soon reveals that it's going to be a computer keyboard typing class. Alongside this, James Scott and Tyler are scheming up a plot to completely forgo the tour group idea, and to stick together instead, as to not get split up. James spots a tour group with few enough people to blend in, and while Adam doesn't really understand what's going on, he follows along regardless.

Next we meet Amber. She introduces herself as the tour guide, and explains that if anybody has any questions, she will be happy to answer them. And suddenly, with a noticeable musical pickup, the tour of Whitelake High School has begun. Amber first takes the group through the awards hallway, where Tyler shares that he's heard Whitelake High is strangely not much of a sports-centric school, while Adam points out an abundance of music awards. Amber solidifies this, and explains that Dr. Hoffman is the one behind it all, going as far as to fund the construction of the enormous auditorium. Next, we see the lunchrooom, which Amber tells the students is called "The Commons" by the students of Whitelake. Scott finally realizes why he doesn't have lunch with any of The Gang. The Commons is remarkably small, which Amber explains was an unfortunate side effect of the space needed to build the auditorium. She also explains that some students eat lunch in the auditorium, if there's no more places to sit. We see The Storyteller seated in the auditorium with a bagged lunch, as a little visual gag.

Amber goes through The Main Office, The Main Entrance, The Gym, The Study Center, and The Library with the group. Adam asks Arjun when they are getting their school textbooks, and Arjun explains to him that everybody got their textbooks 3 weeks ago. We transition upstairs, and Amber explains that at Whitelake High, there are 5 sets of stairs, but one of those staircases is "down only". Suddenly, she realizes that time is up and it's time for first hour to begin. She sets the group loose to find their classes. Adam quickly turns to Arjun for help, asking where Room 234 is, and once struck down, he decides he will figure it out for himself. The music gets louder, and we follow Adam as he tries to find Room 234. He eventually does, but not before The Storyteller is seen following him around, reminding us, the audience that he is still there. The episode ends with Adam standing in the doorway of his first class.
