'My Girl' follows Jonathan Miller, a white straight-A student at a high school, as he meets Olivia at school and became her best friend, thinking only when she gave him a flower in the childhood. This marked the beginning of their uninterrupted friendship and love. One day he took the same flower from the neighbour closer to his house, so that he could also give it to her as before. Neighbor chases Jonathan, but in the building zone he couldn't catch him. One day after that, the police arrived to arrest Jonathan for stealing. Even before this moment, he meets Ethan, a loser with a black girlfriend, who bullies Jonathan and then starts a feud. Jonathan was released after Olivia pleaded with police to let him out, saying he took the flower to give as a gift. After this, Ferguson takes Jonathan home, where they get into an argument about him stealing flowers from a neighbor without permission. The next day at school, a fight breaks out between Jonathan and Ethan after Ethan's misbehavior. Weston, Nico and Mason were with Ethan.
