Dylan Schoenfield is a snobby, rich and self-centered 16-year-old girl who goes to Woodlands Academy. She has the coolest boyfriend, the most popular friends, and is determined to win the title of "Blossom Queen." Josh Rosen is a film geek and aspiring filmmaker with a crush on Amy, a former friend of Dylan's. He is also the president of the school's dorky Film Club.
Josh wants to make a documentary for the Puget Sound Film Festival, and decides to give himself a challenge, with his topic being popularity, and his subject being Dylan herself. Dylan, delighted to be in a movie, takes the opportunity; believing that with "her" movie, she could be crowned Blossom Queen. She instantly starts showing off and puts on an over-the-top, diva-like attitude. However, this leads to Josh "firing" her, having a heated argument about "whose" movie it is. After a while, Josh reconsiders her as his film subject after she sees the sci-fi movie "Flight of the Navigator" and she joins his club. Josh teaches Dylan a lesson about how the world doesn't revolve around her.
After the movie, Dylan invites Josh to her house, where they make an "everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sundae". While Dylan leaves briefly to go get something, Josh notices a wall of pictures, one of which has Dylan's mom in it, crowned the Blossom Queen. When Dylan comes back he asks her about it, and she says that her mom was Blossom Queen back in 1985. Her mom had died when she was in elementary school. She also admits that she feels more connected to her mom when accomplishing the same things she did.
