The movie starts with Cady’s parents advising her about how to be safe at school. I seriously thought it is a 5 year old standing in front of them :P but then it was 16 year old Cady. Because she has been Homeschooled all these days in Africa because her father was on a research trip for 12 years there and she had never studied in a real school before, so her parents were cautious. They all returned back to America now. She went to the school and befriended Janis and Damien on the first day. They tells her a lot about the school and every girl’s gang out there in the school and one of it were the most famous clique called “Plastics”. Every clique has a Queen Bee whereas Regina George is the Queen Bee for the plastics! Janis warns Cady to stay out of plastics particularly Regina George, since she had a bad flash back with her, where Regina on their 8th grade started a rumor that Janis was a Lesbian :P :P
On the lunch hour, Plastics called Cady and asked her to sit with them, when she was little hesitated Regina comforted her talking about Cady’s mother made bracelet. They invited her to befriend them, hearing all these Janis made a plan against Regina using Cady and she dint agree at first. She started falling for Aaron Samuels who is a classmate with her on Math class and later comes to know that he was Regina’s eye-candy and she broke with him lately for no reason. One of the plastics Gretchen Wieners who is with Regina for a long time, and who is jealous of Regina’s relationships with her other girlfriends, comes to know about it. She promises Cady that she won’t say a word about Cady liking Aaron to Regina but later she encloses it to Regina and she promises Cady that she would talk about it to Aaron since they are still good friends and help Cady on the Halloween’s party. But instead she gained back Aaron out of jealous and told Aaron that Cady is trying to do some African Voodoo on him to get him as her boy friend. Cady saw Regina and Aaron kissing at the Halloween’s party and out of rage accepted Janis’ offer to buy a tit for tat on Regina.
Cady comes to know about the Plastic’s “Burn Book”, which has most of the school people’s pictures and below that some scribbles, may be like rumors, secrets and all dirty secrets about the person. Janis showed Cady a plan which makes Regina nothing, by snatching her eye candy Aaron from her, separating the other plastics from Regina and spoiling her physical figure which she literally adores. She came to know that Regina have been cheating on Boy friend through the in secured Gretchen and says that to Aaron at his home, when she showed up like so weak in math and asked for his help and he agreed to teach her math at his home. He then broke up with Regina. Cady tricked Regina into eating weight gaining candy bars saying that it helps to loose weight and she gains a lot of weight and got disfigured. And also she turned out the sweet, stupid and rich Karen and Gretchen against Regina at a point and now Regina’s main resources are all cut off. Now Cady had become the Queen Bee of the plastics and in this process she almost forgot Damien and Janis who got irritated by her activities of herself becoming a plastic.
On a party arranged by Cady, Janis and Damien broke up with her since she doesn’t invite them and she became a total plastic and Aaron broke up with her since she revealed that she is very good at math and just to spend time with him she showed that she is weak in math and requested his help and throwed up on him :P Regina came to know about her all tricks Cady did to bring her down and holds a grudge against her. Regina then used the “Burn Book” against Cady by pasting her own picture and scribbles and showed it to the principal of the high school saying the only people who are not there in the book were the plastics so it has to be created by them. The principal gathered all the girls in the school auditorium for the enquiry, where the math teacher who was mentioned as a drug dealer in the book, because she insisted Cady to join math league since she is good at math and Cady got irritated by it, started the enquiry with the principal;. She asked all the other students who are mentioned in the burn book to accept and apologize their secrets and rumors so that the burn book wont be a big deal!
When Janis’ turn comes she apologized every plan they had to bring down Regina with the help of Cady. Cady went to apology Regina but she bursted out at her and walked on the street just to get hit by the School bus Land broke her spine. Everyone started distrusting Cady and now she is all alone. Math teacher have been called to local police enquiry and they got search warrant since she was mentioned as the drug dealer, before the cops could do anything about it, Cady took the whole responsibility of the Burn book and have been grounded. And the math teacher requested her to join the math league and this time, Cady agreed! There she had to compete with an ugly girl at the final stage and realized that there is no use in irritating the girl with her appearance, she would still beat Cady. The only solution to beat her is to solve the problem. At the final minute, the other girl told the wrong answer and the answering opportunity came to Cady and she answered right and won the Mathlete.
The same day they had the prom and spring fling dance where Cady had been elected as the Queen, but she broke the Tiara and gave all girls including Regina a piece and declared, she don’t mind about the Tiara anymore and after all, its just a plastic JThen she reconciles with her friends Janis and Damien and apologized to them and Aaron patched up with her looking at her change.
By the start of the next year, things have been changed, where Regina joined the Lacrosse team, Gretchen joined the “cool Asians” gang, Karen became the school weather reporter and Aaron got admission in Middlesex University and moving there for higher studies. Janis started a relationship with Kevin, from the Mathlete. But this new plastics from the juniors have been evolved and while crossing the road got hit by the school bus. OOPS…. It was just Cady’s imagination :P :P
