“They say first impressions are the most important. Luckily, twelve-year-old geek, Gordon Periwinkle gets a second.” A reluctant geek looks to create a new image when he is the new kid in school. After he fails miserably, he gets a second chance to re-live that week, this time he takes a completely different path while fully knowing the outcome of each previous decision.

If he's doing this with magic, what are the parameters of the magic? How many times can he do this? And I dunno, doesn't seem original.

btw, I wouldn't tell this in chronological order, I would begin with the lead getting his wish; with the audience only knowing he had the worst first day of all time, then switch back and forth between what he did and his new choices.

The term would be, "In medias res"

On the first day, it is bad, but he meets a girl who kinda likes his weirdness, as the lead 'fixes' the day and becomes more and more popular he slowly loses the girl, only to realize what a horrible mistake he has made.

Just a thought

"After a horrible first day at school, a humiliated geek is given a chance to relive the day, only to discover perfect is harder work than he thought."
