The guys start with a slow day, and a stupid prank or a ditch they've gotten themselves into for the first few pages, the heights of which are unmatched. The girls make plans for going rogue, always with the most ridiculous and out-of-the-world ideas.
One of the guys introduces the scheme of the chapter, because it somehow benefits him, and puts a classy and group focused facade on it. The gang either figures it out or eventually gets it. He convinces everyone eventually and the gang is all-in on it. They get started on the project, with alright results to begin with.
The girls hear about the project, or adjacent ones, and decide they want to get involved because it would be adventurous or roguish. They sneak their way in by offering help or support. The guys are struggling so they take the help. They raise the profile of the project and it goes pretty well.
The school newspaper/charts push out a general interest story on it telling how well it's going, with interviews from our characters.
Due to some reason or other that's entirely on the gang, the project starts getting too much attention and starts running into trouble. There's general blaming of each other and attempting to get out of it. The gang realizes that's not the way out, and sticks together. That's when everything blows up, and they get in deep, deep trouble.
Yet, somehow, every time they come out of it barely scratched. Sometimes they make a run for it, or just get lucky, or cheat, like, befuddle, source-force their way out of it. Either way they're out of the trouble only my the skin of their teeth.
In the background we learn more about Hiranya, and how he met everyone [all in stupid ways] or important stories about what happened in the past throughout the chapter.
The gang plans to never listen to each other again and do stupid things. In the final few paragraphs they are seen plotting another harebrained scheme (this one is just for the laughs and will never be heard again, or not heard until several chapters later, as a callback). An article in the school newspaper gives the official version of the story and the reader discovers what people think happened is very different from what they saw.
