We see a young man, Dylan Klebold (Charlie Plummer). He has long hair and has a Metallica T shirt. He looks at a group of girls that he likes and look at him in disgust. He does theater and no one talks to him. It is revealed that it is Columbine High School when Dylan is at theater.
He has a crush on a girl named Rachel (Willow Shields) who is in his theater class and she is the lead in the play and he is just an ensemble member. Dylan, after theater, goes home to his parents. He goes home and cries and writes in his diary. He writes love notes and poetry. He goes to school and things happen the same as they did yesterday and we see basically the same shots over and over again.
Dylan goes to school the next day and sees a kid named Eric Harris (Logan Miller) who is in a fight with a kid. Eric Harris is in his English class but he is almost always ditching class. Today he decides to go to class. Dylan asks Eric if he wants to hang out and Dylan agrees. Eric goes to Dylan’s house. After Eric leaves Dylan continues to write poetry we hear the voice over of him writing to the girl he has a crush on Rachel.
Because of his friendship with Dylan, Eric starts attending class more often. Eric introduces Dylan to his favorite book which is Mein Kamf. Dylan is disturbed by it as he is a bit Jewish. Dylan is reading Mein Kemf and it is snatched by his mother who says it’s disgusting.
