The plot is that a weird girl named Stargirl comes to Mica High. At first everyone thinks she's really strange because she wears exotic outfits, plays a ukulele, and sings happy birthday to people during lunch. Then, after a cheering incident, everyone one starts liking Stargirl. She joins the Cheer squad, but cheers for Mica and the other teams. Leo and Kevin decide to put Stargirl on Hot Seat while shes the most popular in order to get the most views. Unfortunately, Hillari brings a group of her friends and start yelling insults at her. After that bad experience, Stargirls popularity starts decreasing. During this time, Leo and Stargirl start going out. Stargirl teaches Leo a lot, but the entire student body at Mica High starts to shun them. Leo can't handle being shunned, so he asks Stargirl to become normal for him. She does and starts going by her real name, Susan. This plan doesn't work. So Susan decides that if she wins the oratorical contest, then she will become popular again. She does end up winning, but doesn't become popular. Susan gives up and goes back to being Stargirl. This makes Leo upset and they break up right before the Octotillo Ball. Stargirl still goes to the ball, but Leo stays home. At the ball, Stargirl requests the Bunny Hop and she starts a conga line of all the students at the ball (except Hillari and Wayne). The conga line goes out into the desert and no one returns until a some time has passed. When they do return, Hillari slaps Stargirl for "ruining everything". Stargirls only reply is a kiss. Then Stargirl leaves. She ends up moving away, never to be heard of again.
