## Plot

The story begins with a limousine driving in the rain. We see the Miller family in the limo, doing various tasks. Alex is reading a map, desperately trying to find out where they are. His wife, Scarlett, isn looking through her phone and looking over concerned at her husband. Franklin, the oldest child, is reading a book with his reading glasses. Jessica, the oldest girl, is crying while scrolling through her phone and having mascara run down her face. Anthony, the third child, is desperately trying to solve a Rubik’s cube, with no luck. And finally, Jenny, the youngest, is sitting, her arms folded and looking at her family. Anthony breaks the silence as he throws down the Rubik’s cube in frustration and asks why they had to move and why they had to drive there. Franklin says that their father is nervous with planes, and that he shouldn’t be too concerned with the map, as Ernest, the limo driver, used to live in the elusive Greensville. Scarlett says that Alex is just a little paranoid with directions. Alex says he cannot find it on the map anywhere, to which Franklin takes the map and flips it 180 degrees. Jessica says that it doesn’t matter, because she lost all of her friends. Anthony says that they are so light headed that they could fly over, to which the two almost fight. Franklin breaks it up, saying that they are moving for his father insurance business. Alex says that they moved because the expenses were payed for and they found a nice house, even bigger than the one they had in California. They all look over at Jenny, who hasn’t spoken yet. Scarlett asks what her opinion is on the move. Jenny says that her life in California wasn’t that great, but it feels weird just moving to try something new that might not work. Everyone is quiet and they all say they are at least interested in what the new life in Missouri will be like. Franklin says that they are close, as we see the elusive “Welcome to Greensville” highway sign.

We fly through the town as the credits roll over. After they do, we stop in the backyard of the Green house. We see Gaige Green, his brother Benny, and one of their friends, Theo Bolton, who are judging a Trampoline contest. After Gea Bronson finishes her routine, we see Gaige and Benny discuss what to do with their last free week before school starts. Benny says he doesn’t know, and that he’ll probably start a podcast this week before school so it gives him something to do. As another friend of the group, Charles Kennedy, tries to do a performance, Trevor Davidson notices a truck and everyone rushes over, including a slightly disappointed Charles who get off of the trampoline. They look through the gaps in the wooden fence as they guess what’s happening. Mark Johnson notices the limo, saying that someone might be looking at the house again, but Charles says that the house was already sold almost a month ago. Helen Thornton complains that the new neighbors will be some high class family that are all lawyers and doctors. Sam Williams says that he hopes it is a famous actor moving, although Mark feels him the low chance of that. Gea looks and says she sees a few girls in the car, and thinks that the group might be involved in the makeup business. As the door opens, Ernest gets out, and Sam prays that an actor pops out. Instead, an exhausted Alex climbs out and tips Ernest. Benny says it might be a mob boss going undercover. When Scarlett climbs out, Waylon Simmons says it probably is, that the wife only stays because of the money. When Franklin climbs out, get and Helen both like what they see. Jessica climbs out, and Mark, Sam and Charles are also very impressed. Anthony climbs out, and Trevor says he might have good competition. Finally, Jenny climbs out, and Benny asks how many children there are in the car, while Gaige is amazed by her, almost speechless. Benny elbows him, and says he can’t be that interested, as he doesn’t even know her name. Gaige says he might go out and ask, with the group saying he’s crazy. Benny and Charles say good luck, as the girls say he’s crazy. Theo says he might be crushed, but he’s got guts.

Gaige climbs through a mechanism fence, and walks over to the lonely Jenny stand over by herself. He clears his throat, and Jenny turns around in surprise. He asks if she is moving in here, and she shyly, but excitedly says yes. Gaige introduces himself, including his age, and sticks out his hand. Jenny does the same, but she reveals to be 13 instead of the 12 Gaige was expecting. Gaige asks how middle school is, and she says she doesn’t know, as she just turned 13 about two weeks ago. Gaige is more excited now, saying she’ll also be going to sixth grade with him and his friends. She says that’s cool, and asks where his parents are. Gaige takes this as a bit of an odd question, but he feels her that his father is an author and mother is a nurse. He asks her the same, to which she says her father sells insurance, and she isn’t quite sure what her mother does. From behind the fence, Waylon almost blows their cover, but the group shushes him. He asks what she’s doing before school starts, to which she says she is probably going to be unpacking. Gaige says if she gets some free time, she can come over and join the trampoline contest they are doing. She says she’ll consider it, and Gaige walks away. Trevor says oh no, and the group fights for the spot to look. Eventually, Charles is knocked over and before Gaige can go through the mechanism fence, Charles gets bumped into it, where he hits Gaige. Charles looks over at Jenny and ducks back in. Gaige gets up, looks over, smiles, and quickly goes back through the fence., She laughs a little before she is called back over by her parents. Gaige is back in and everyone asks if he is okay, to which he says he just meet an angel. He tells them about her, to which some of the group is more receptive of her than others. They hear a loud truck noise and Gaige rushes over to the crack, to see two large moving vas pull up. Mark says she’s probably loaded and the other look over at him.

In the night, after a takeout meal a the new Miller house, Scarlett takes out several envelopes and hand them each. Franklin and Jessica will be attending Greensville High School, as a Senior and Sophomore respectively. Anthony and Jenny will be going to Greensville Junior High, as seventh and six graders. The take out there schedules and look, with some more positive reactions from the boys than the girls. Jenny sees her schedule and is sighs with some slight sadness.

Over at the Green house, the oven is opened to reveal a homemade pizza made by Gaige. He pulls it out and lets it cool. He goes over to sit with his family. As he sits next to Benny, Courtney, their sister, looks on her phone and mocks the two for going to middle school. A very exhausted Jasmine tells her to leave them be. She also asks her husband, Adam, how his day was. He says it was good, and that he’s putting the final touches on his new, and hopefully first of many, novel. Adam asks how the boys day was, and Benny says they had their trampoline contest, but when Adam asks who won, Benny says it’s undecided as there may be a new contestant. When Courtney asks who, Gaige blushes, and she interrogates him further. He says he talked to the new girl next door, and Courtney laughs, saying young love never lasts. Jasmine says that Gaige should invite her and her family over sometime, but Gaige says he doesn’t know if they could fit all of them. Jasmine says he should get to know her better, and Gaige says he’ll try his best.

A little more than a week later, we see the twins’ alarm go off for 6:00. We see a montage of the two getting ready. After this, we see them go down stairs with their back packs and they eat breakfast. Adam pours them some cereal and gives them their schedules before saying he won’t be home when they are done with school. They finish and they see Courtney leave for high school. They wait and Gaige wonders if Jenny will be in any of their classes. Benny says it might be possible, but unlikely.

We see them walk out to their corner, where they are greeted by Mark, Charles and Trevor. As they talk, Gaige looks over at Jenny’s house, and sees she isn’t coming out. Benny says they should compare schedules. They each pull out their papers and compare. Gaige and Benny see only half of their classes are together, and that the other half are with other people. Gaige says that it’s okay, and that they can all meet after school for the contest rematch.

When the bus pulls up to the school, Gaige and Benny walk off, look at each other, and walk into the school. We see them find their lockers, which are right next to each other. They put their back packs in, grab some notebooks, and walk to class. When they are there, they see several of their friends like Mark, Sam, Charles and Waylon. As they sit down, they look around at the class, and Gaige disappointedly sits back in his desk. Just before the bell rings, Jenny rushes in and hears the bell ring. She looks around the class and sits next to Gaige. They smile at each other before Ms. Langstrom quiets the class and takes roll call. After she finishes, she gives everyone a piece of paper and asks them to write some things down, including name, birthday, favorite color and many other things. Ms. Langstrom gives them another, and tells them to write an entire page about themselves.

During lunch, Gaige finds a group of his friends, and sits down with them. He sits and starts to say how difficult the day was so far. Suddenly, Mark notices Jenny and points her out to everyone at the table. Gaige quickly gets up with his tray and walks over to Jenny. The two find a booth and sit down together. They start talking about the day so far. The others make fun of Gaige, but Benny feels slightly concerned, but he turns back and makes a quip about the two. We cut back over to Gaige and Jenny, who are  still talking and laughing. Jenny pulls out her schedule and asks if he knows where a class is. the two both point in the same place and touch hands, but Gaige panics and grabs out his schedule. He looks and says the room number. Gaige quickly takes a bite out of his cheeseburger, but immediately questions the taste. He says that the burger is terrible, and that he could make something way better at home. Jenny asks if he is a cook, to which he says he’s in training. He says he gets his training from Mr. Fortell, the boss and owner of The Food Palace, which he points to at his jacket. He says he should take her there that afternoon, and she says sure, but she has to tell her parents.

We see Gaige wait after school and tell Jenny they are clear to go. They see an exhausted Benny run towards them. They all make introductions, and they head off towards The Food Palace. As they walk, benny can’t seem to get any words in as he trails behind the two. After awhile, he sets between them and asks what their classes look like tomorrow. They all pull out their schedules and look. They compare and see that they have half of their classes together. Gaige says it’s fine, and that they’ll hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss classes and introduce Jenny to the rest of the group.

They get to the three story building known as The Food Palace and walk through the doors. We enter to a fifties style restaurant, with memorabilia on the walls, a milkshake bar, and thew whole works. They walk in and find seats at the bar. They are greeted by a kid named Eugene who takes the twins’ usual order and also takes Jenny’s order. He asks Gaige about the girl, saying he’s showing her around the town. Gary Fortell, the owner, walks in and greets Gaige and Benny excitedly. He asks how the boys have been, and then notices Jenny. He compliments her and asks which one she’s dating. Gaige blushes while Benny points over at him. Gaige smacks him away and says he’s just showing her around. Fortell says right and winks at him.

We cut the the bus stop the next day at school. The group is waiting for the bus when frantic footsteps are heard running behind them. Gaige turns and sees its Jenny. She opens the gate and closes and runs to the stop, where now everyone is looking at her. She says hello to Gaige and Benny and says hello to the others. Charles waves, but puts his hand back down after she doesn’t notice.

We see the kids walk into school, trying to find their next class. Gaige, Benny and Jenny walk until they find their next class, theatre.
