INT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - DAY
Tiffany is walking across campus, looking determined. She spots Allegra Gorey, a goth outcast girl with black hair and makeup, sitting on a bench.
TIFFANY: (approaching Allegra) Hi, you're Allegra, right? We're in English class together.
ALLEGRA: (looking up, uninterested) Yeah.
TIFFANY: (trying to make small talk) So, what do you think of the class? I love the reading assignments.
ALLEGRA: (skeptical) You're a sorority girl.
TIFFANY: (nervously) Yeah... I just joined. But I'm not like those other girls, I swear.
ALLEGRA: (rolling her eyes) Save it. You're just like all the others.
TIFFANY: (frustrated) That's not fair. I'm trying to be different.
ALLEGRA: (standing up) Look, I don't care about your sorority or your attempts to be "different". Just leave me alone.
Allegra walks away, leaving Tiffany looking disappointed and rejected.
CUT TO:
INT. SORORITY HOUSE - LATER
Tiffany is sitting in her room, staring at a photo of herself with her sorority sisters. She looks unhappy and unfulfilled.
Suddenly, she hears a knock at the door. It's Heather.
HEATHER: (bubbly and ditzy) Oh my god, Tiffany! I'm so excited for the Urele-Oresha-Cham party tonight!
TIFFANY: (unenthused) Yeah... I guess.
HEATHER: (oblivious to Tiffany's lack of interest) OMG, have you seen the cute guys in Urele-Oresha-Cham? I'm totally going to hook up with one of them tonight!
TIFFANY: (rolling her eyes) That's all you ever think about, isn't it?
HEATHER: (giggling) What? No! I just love parties! And boys!
Tiffany shakes her head, feeling even more disconnected from the sorority.
CUT TO:
INT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - LATER
Tiffany is walking across campus, feeling lost and alone. She spots Allegra sitting on a bench, reading a book.
Tiffany hesitates for a moment, then decides to approach Allegra again.
TIFFANY: (determined) Allegra, can I talk to you for a minute?
Allegra looks up, still uninterested.
ALLEGRA: (sighing) What do you want?
Tiffany takes a deep breath, trying to explain herself.
TIFFANY: (sincerely) I know I'm a sorority girl, and I know that's not exactly... cool. But I'm trying to figure out who I am, and I don't really fit in with those girls.
Allegra raises an eyebrow, slightly intrigued.
ALLEGRA: (curious) Go on.
FADE TO BLACK.
CUT TO:
INT. ALLEGRA'S APARTMENT - DAY
Allegra introduces Tiffany to her roommates, Jane Stacks and Martin Ruben.
ALLEGRA: (smiling) Guys, this is Tiffany. We met in English class.
JANE: (extroverted and friendly) Hey girl! Welcome to our humble abode!
MARTIN: (nerdy and awkward) Hi Tiffany. Nice to meet you.
Tiffany smiles, feeling more at ease.
TIFFANY: (friendly) Thanks for having me.
As they hang out, Tiffany and Martin discover they have a lot in common, including a love for literature and music.
CUT TO:
INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY
Tiffany and Martin are on a date, laughing and talking.
MARTIN: (smiling) I'm so glad we met, Tiffany. You're amazing.
TIFFANY: (smiling back) I know exactly what you mean.
As they're about to leave, Heather walks in, scanning the room for potential hookups.
HEATHER: (spotting Martin) OMG, who's that cute guy?
Her friend BRITTANY UPSNOTT whispers something in her ear.
HEATHER: (excitedly) No way! That's Martin Ruben? I've had my eye on him for weeks!
CUT TO:
INT. MARTIN'S DORM ROOM - NIGHT
Heather shows up at Martin's door, wearing a revealing outfit.
HEATHER: (flirtatiously) Hey Martin, what's up?
MARTIN: (awkwardly) Uh, not much Heather. What brings you here?
HEATHER: (batting her eyelashes) I just wanted to see if you'd like to study together... or something.
Martin looks uncomfortable, unsure of how to respond.
Just as Heather is about to make her move on Martin, his frat boy brother Joshua Ruben and his friend Castor Nova show up.
JOSHUA: (excitedly) Yo, bro! What's going on?
CASTOR: (smirking) Yeah, we heard there was a party here.
HEATHER: (distracted) Oh, hi guys...
Joshua and Castor notice Heather and exchange a mischievous glance.
JOSHUA: (suggestively) Hey Heather, want to party with us?
CASTOR: (smiling) Yeah, we can show you a really good time...
Heather's eyes widen at the implication.
HEATHER: (excitedly) Really? A threesome?
JOSHUA: (grinning) Yeah, why not?
Castor winks at Heather, and she giggles, completely distracted from Martin.
CUT TO:
INT. ALLEGRA'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
Allegra and Tiffany are watching the scene unfold through Martin's dorm room window.
ALLEGRA: (laughing) Oh my god, this is amazing.
TIFFANY: (smiling) I know, right? I used my connections with the frats to lure Heather away.
ALLEGRA: (impressed) Nice move. You're a lot sneakier than I thought.
TIFFANY: (smiling) Yeah, well, I learned a thing or two from my sorority days.
ALLEGRA: (curious) You left the sorority?
TIFFANY: (sighing) I just didn't fit in. I was too different, too awkward. But I'm glad I left. I've found people who actually accept me for who I am.
Allegra smiles, and the two friends share a moment.
CUT TO:
INT. MARTIN'S DORM ROOM - NIGHT
Martin and Tiffany are alone now, and they share a passionate kiss.
MARTIN: (smiling) I'm so glad you're here.
TIFFANY: (smiling back) Me too.
They kiss again, as the scene fades to black.
FADE TO BLACK.
