At Hester High School in the suburbs of Austin, being different is popular. After many failed attempts to stand out, Karma Ashcroft (Katie Stevens) and her best friend Amy Raudenfeld (Rita Volk) are invited to a house party hosted by popular gay student Shane Harvey (Michael Willett), who is under the impression that the girls are a lesbian couple. At the party, they are subsequently outed as the school's first lesbian couple and unwillingly nominated for homecoming Queens. Continuing the charade as their popularity soars, Karma attracts the attention of the popular and handsome Liam Booker (Gregg Sulkin), while Amy becomes aware of her growing romantic feelings for Karma and a rivalry with her new step-sister, Lauren (Bailey De Young), who discovers that they are faking it.

"Prom Scare"

Principal Turner demands that the prom will be mandatory and that all students must take a date following protests involving art in the school. Amy feels uncomfortable with that since she doesn't want to go with Karma, so her feelings for her don't grow; so she invites Felix to accompany her. Shane wants to be invited by Wade—the guy he met on the PFLAG event, while Karma wants to be invited by her chemistry lab partner, only to find out they are the same guy. The three of them agree to go to the prom together. Meanwhile, Sasha keeps trying to seduce Liam.

"Nuclear Prom"

At the prom, Karma and Shane keep constantly trying to win Wade's attention, when Shane proposes a threesome. Sasha continues to try seducing Liam, who's reluctant to accept that. Liam and Shane fight because of Shane's proposal while Amy tries to convince Karma out of it and end up fighting too. The fight makes Liam stop resisting Sasha's provocations and they hook up. Felix then, admits his feelings to Amy, who kisses him. All of them get out of ball mad at each other; and Wade, Karma and Shane head to the hotel. Meanwhile, Lauren has the perfect prom dance with her ex, Tommy, which makes her question her feelings for Theo.

"School's Out"

The morning after the party, Amy and Lauren's parents decide they will get divorced and Lauren is invited to go back to Dallas with her dad. Felix is revealed to be an alcoholic. Principal Turner intends to close Hester forever due to its exotic way of handling things, so the students start a protest and win. Zita finds out the name of Liam's dad and agrees to help look for him. Meanwhile, Amy looks for Reagan to try getting back together so she can forget Karma, only to find out Reagan moved on. She then decides to film the band on the summer tour. Karma comforts her and unsuccessfully asks her to stay.

"It's All Good"

After spending the summer in Portland, Oregon, Amy returns to Hestin for her senior year and is surprised by changes in Karma who has a new friend. Meanwhile, Liam is jealous about Shane's new friendship with Karma.

"Let's Hear It for the Oy"

Amy and Karma are both ready to make up, but neither of them wants to make the first move. Meanwhile, Zita shows her support for Liam by throwing him a "white only" party.
