Plot[]
Kelsey and Grant have moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, and have transferred to Falvey High School. Kelsey's new friends, Ella and Sage, are singing "happy birthday" to her and she blows out the candle on her cupcake. Grant then walks over and wonders if he can sit with them, and Kelsey says that they were just leaving. After the other girls have left, Kelsey and Grant are alone in the cafeteria together, and Kelsey tells him that she is embarrassed to see him because of his limp. This makes Grant very sad.
After school, the girls are seen playing, and are in the middle of choosing team captains. Kelsey is chosen as the second captain. Instead of picking Grant, who walks up to the park where they are playing, Kelsey chooses Stephanie. Ella says that Grant is a "loser" and that he did not get picked. Kelsey does not stand up for him, and, so, he walks away.
Kelsey, Sage, and Ella are seen walking home. The girls talk about how they will wear pink tomorrow, as wearing pink on Wednesdays is their tradition. Kelsey is then surprised to see her dad with Grant. Ella asks her why Mike is with Grant, and Kelsey pretends not to know. After saying "bye" to Ella and Sage, she walks over to Grant and asks him to wait in the car while she is getting picked up. Mike then reveals a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that they had gotten for Kelsey's birthday. As Grant tells her about it, he accidentally loses his balance and makes Mike drop the cake. Kelsey starts screaming at him about how he would not have done that if he did not have his limp. She also tells him that she wishes she had a "normal" sibling. Mike asks Grant to wait in the car, and then reprimands Kelsey for blatantly bullying her brother. To help her understand, he tells her the story of how, when they were little, Kelsey ran out into the street and Grant saved her, which resulted in him getting hit by an oncoming car. The doctors told the Roumeliotis family that he would always walk with a limp after that. Kelsey immediately feels bad for how she treated him and begins to cry.
The next day, Kelsey, Sage, and Ella are all wearing pink, and they see Grant at lunch. Kelsey hates that Ella calls him a weirdo and invites him to sit at their lunch table. Her friends are confused, and so she explains to them how he is not just her brother, but the best brother in the world, and how he does not deserve to be called mean names. When they refuse to stop bullying him, she decides to take off her pink jacket and sit elsewhere. Kelsey also invites him to play dodgeball with her.
