In Vista Institute, Mrs. Cassidy introduced Paige Villarreal to the class and Amber Chambers first bullied her. The history starts with Milo Frescott’s project Rose Frescott and later, Paige’s turn to present her project with Mr. Sharpward’s life and a villain such as Godzilla. Milo criticizes Paige’s presentation as a joke but he doesn’t think what Mrs. Cassidy meant her students by historical and later it’s about famous people. After class outside, Milo puts a leg to make Paige trip on the floor. Jay crushed Paige’s project and Mr. Sharpward, when Paige gets up, she roars at the bullies and they’re scared as the whole students laughed at her. Mrs. Cassidy took her to the principal’s office.
