==Plot==
Scott Hudson enters J.P. Zenger High as a freshman, along with his three best friends, Mitch, Patrick, and Kyle, and quickly realizes that it is very different from middle school. Upperclassmen are intimidating and will steal any lunch money along with loose change if you stand in the wrong place. Scott gets put in advanced classes, including an Honors English class which, despite the amount of homework, is his favorite class. He tries his best from the very start to get the attention of Julia Baskins, a girl who was in his kindergarten class and has recently become very beautiful over the summer. Because of her beauty she quickly blends in with the popular girls and is attracted to the football players who are often bullying Scott. Scott is also connected to another classmate named Louden, who is better known as Mouth. Scott tries every attempt to get Julia's attention such as joining the school paper, because he thinks that she is part of the staff, only to discover that she has written only a single column for the guest column. He then runs for student council, after finding out that Julia is also running as well, and wins, only to find out that she has not won. Because of this, Scott resigns from his position, and Julia eventually runs again and wins. He also auditions for the school play, and joins the cast and crew. However, Julia has not been selected as a member of the crew. Soon, a new girl named Lee arrives at school, who wears face pins and weird clothes, and has colored hair. Both soon realize that they share the same interests, but he can't get past his crush on Julia. Scott suddenly has another "friend" named Wesley, a tough senior who drives to school in his own car, and who's dad owns a limo and snowmobile company. Though they share some interests, they have little in common. Then to put the cherry on top of all this excitement going on in his life, his mother announces that she is pregnant. He copes with all of this by creating a tip book for his soon-to-be baby sibling to help him, or her, survive high school when they get to it. In his entries to the baby, he often shows disdain by using degrading terms to talk to it such as "Smelly" or "Blob of unformed goo". But he writes it to be a good older brother to this new baby since Scott's own brother was never very present. As time goes by however, Scott starts to lose his best friends. Mitch finds a girlfriend and takes all his time while Patrick moves to Texas, then to Japan. Kyle joins the wrestling team and soon puts Scott down for having a crush on Julia. Soon, Julia's boyfriend Vernon beats Scott up. Scott realizes that what a person says and does can have an impact on the life of another after Mouth attempts suicide. He learns that not everything is what it seems. Later, Scott finds out that his older brother, Bobby, who is struggling to find a job, can barely read. Scott's mother eventually gives birth to a new baby boy, whom they name Sean. Scott, Lee, and Wesley arrive at the hospital to see the baby.
