After spending 16 years as a homeschooled kid in Africa, Cady Heron puts her best foot forward at a her new public school, only to find her toes smashed by the pink-clad, super-popular trio, "The Plastics." As if high school isn't hard enough, she's got the hots for the head Plastic's ex, Aaron. Cady is so into him that she starts keeping track of how often he talks to her while in their Calculus class, thus her marking the very special day that he relied on her to be his personal calendar.

Ah, young love.
