Plot
The film starts off with a 16-year-old brunette Emma Frost in Mr. Ian Kendall's class taking a test. She is shown struggling to figure out the answers and decides to try to use her telepathy to cheat by reading her classmates minds. Emma then flashes back to a weeks ago when her powers first manifested. The scene shows a distressed Emma on the vurge of passing out at a school dance due to involuntarily using her telepathy on everyone in the room.

It then cuts back to Emma deciding not to take her chances again. Mr. Kendall tells the class that their time is up and takes up all the papers. Once the bell rings, he asks Emma to stay after class. He tells her that he noticed her stuggling on the tests and offers to tutor her after school until she gets her grades up. She nervously accepts and goes on to her next class.

At the end of the school day,Emma returns to Mr. Kendall's class and they walk together to the library to start the session. Once it's over he walks her to her chauffeured car. She returns to her home (the lavish Frost estate) seeing her father, Winston Frost, arguing with her mother, Hazel Frost, and her older sister, Adrienne Frost. Winston stops once he sees Emma and directs his frustration towards her, asking her where's she's been. She tells him that she was just studying with her teacher and her father responds by telling her how stupid and incompetent she is before storming out of the room. She asks Hazel what was wrong with her father and Hazel tells her that he just had a bad day at work and that she should get ready for dinner--a dinner in which Winston will not attend.

At the table she notices that her brother, Christian, isn't eating and confronts him about it after dinner. He tells her that he had a secret that he didn't want anyone to know, then Emma tells him that she would tell him a secret of her own if he tells her his in return. He agrees and Emma tells him that she has a crush on her teacher, Mr. Kendall. He hesitantly decides to hold his end of the bargin and tells him that he thinks that he's gay and warns her not to tell their father or he'll tell him about her feelings for Mr. Kendall.
