With the help of social outcasts Janice and Damian, Cadey learns about various companies. Janice warned to avoid the three most popular girls in the school, led by the sharp-tongued Regina George - the queen of the bunch who calls herself "Bounty". Regina was once Janice's best friend, but the two began to despise each other since eighth grade when Regina spread the rumor about Janice's gay orientation. However, the Bounty accepted Cadey and invited her to sit with them at a table and go out after school. Realizing that Cady had been accepted into Regina's company, Janice figured out how to take revenge on her for what she had done to her, using Cady as a pawn.
