What would be the plot of the book Nobody Was Here by Alison Pollet? And what would be the inciting incident? Thanks in advance!

Grade 5-7–It's 1981, and Penelope Schwartzbaum is starting seventh grade at an elite New York prep school. She finds herself thinking "bad thoughts"–thoughts that include a sense that she no longer fits together with her best friend, and suspicions that her mother's involvement with her latest client might be the kind of involvement that leads to divorce. School is a nightmare of never knowing what to do or how to think; the in-crowd has too many rules, from what to wear to who to talk to, and Penelope feels so lost that she is rapidly becoming a nobody. However, a new friendship with oddball but entirely genuine Cass provides a welcome distraction and allows Penelope to regain her sense of self and start becoming somebody.
Perhaps the inciting incident could be the beginning of her friendship with Cass, which seems to change everything.
