A class of students discuss who is cool and who isn't among them. They mention that Roy used to be cool but isn't anymore because PJ Crenshaw, who is extremely cool, said so. Junior tries to borrow a pencil from PJ, and to his surprise, PJ agrees. However, Junior loses the pencil, and it is revealed that Roy stole it.
To get the pencil back and prove his coolness, Roy challenges PJ to a "cool off" competition. The competition involves drinking Kool-Aid, eating a Tootsie Pop, and trying to get a girl to make out with them.
