On Halloween night, Greg and Rowley are forced to take the former's little brother Manny with them. before long, the first day of school arrives, and Greg tries to help Rowley adjust, though both end up shunned by the majority of the students, mostly due to Rowley's somewhat childish antics and use of the word "play" over "hang out."

Figuring that Rowley's childish tendencies will get them bullied, Greg then tries to urge his friend to grow up, almost telling him about The Cheese, but decides against it, not wanting to scare him too much.
He gets advice from his older brother Rodrick on how to "survive" (putting emphasis on avoiding the Cheese Touch, which supposedly makes one incredibly unpopular), scaring Greg. Greg Heffley is about to enter middle school with his best friend Rowley Jefferson.
