Plot

A boy named Ezra Banks (Aston Droomer) began a blog to count a history that happened one week ago, on Wednesday, when Ezra asks the principal of the school, Mr. Mcgilick (James Saunders), which he calls him for his first name, Henry, if he could give the school's credit card to buy a site software that costs $75 dollars, but Mr. Mcgilick refuses. Even asking if he could redo the school's website, Mr. Mcgilick refuses as one of the thousand repeated refusals.

Then, Ezra's mother talks to Mr. Mcgilick to find a special project that will stimulate her son. After that, Ezra gives several suggestions for special projects, however, Mr. Mcgilick refuses all suggestions, saying that he has already decided on a special project that will stimulate Ezra: taking care of the new student at the school, which leaves Ezra confused with the principal's intention and he doesn't think this is a special project that is good for him.

During recess, Ezra buys a cupcake from the cupcake stand of his friend, Ava Andrikides (Abby Bergman), who intends to raise money to buy a space for bikes and lets two cupcakes for her and Maudie Miller, the new student, which Ava started to like her, even though she still didn't know her. Ezra considers it a great idea and when he leaves, a ball hits the head of Ezra, where the responsible is nothing more and nothing less than Kyle Klimson (Jamil Smyth-Secka), a friend of Ezra, in which he and no one knows the reason for this friendship. Kyle is a boy who loves sports, and he always hits Ezra in the head, which often makes him angry.

However, Kyle denies that it was him, but Billy, from fifth year B, who plays football together with Kyle and his team, which consists of other boys from fifth year A. Billy says he slipped in the mud, that's because he doesn't have boots because his mother doesn't buy until he is good at football. Kyle warns that he will have to buy soon because the selections for the championship will start and will only allow people who have boots, which leaves Billy very discouraged and sad. Kyle decides to buy cupcakes from Ava's stall, but without money, which causes Ava to deny several times, because he forgets to pay the other things he owes her. Kyle continues discussing with her, even with her warnings.
