INT.
PSYCHOLOGY CLASS - DAY
Andrew sits in
his psychology class surrounded by other students. The professor stands at the
front.
ANDREW VOICEOVER
Two days into
my first semester of college. So far, so good. All my classes are great, Sarah
and I are friends for now, if I play my cards right maybe we can be more. I got
an A on my Political Science quiz. So far, so good.
PROFESSOR BROWN
Mr. Evans.
ANDREW
Huh?
PROFESSOR BROWN
Could you
answer the question?
ANDREW
Uhhhhhhhhh
Freud?
PROFESSOR BROWN
Uh no. Freud
is not the answer to when the test is. Freud is not always the answer.
ANDREW VOICEOVER
{Sigh} Like I
said. So far, so good.
INT. DORM
HALLWAY - DAY
Andrew walks
down the hallway of dorms.
ANDREW VOICEOVER
Ah yes. After
a day of hard classes, the college student only has one place where he can
unwind. His dorm room. A place to do homework, make out with your girlfriend,
or just take a nap.
Andrew reaches
his dorm and enters. The dorm is a mess. Cans of energy drinks and empty pizza
boxes litter the floor along with dirty laundry. Edison sits at his desk
watching youtube videos.
ANDREW VOICEOVER
Unfortunately,
you have to share that space with a roommate. And my roommate is a slob.
INT. DORM -
DAY
Andrew picks
up some trash.
ANDREW
Have you
thought about picking up some trash?
EDISON
Why?
ANDREW
I don’t know.
In case we have company?
EDISON
You sound like
a suburban housewife.
ANDREW
Look man, what
if you bring a girl here? What if I bring a girl here?
Edison laughs.
ANDREW
What?
EDISON
I’ve already
brought five girls here.
ANDREW
When?
EDISON
During your
Political Science class. Also, who do you plan on bringing to our dorm?
ANDREW
A girl.
EDISON
Who?
ANDREW
Sarah.
EDISON
You mean the
Sarah who you’ve been meaning to ask out but every time you do you say
something completely off subject.
ANDREW
I do not.
FLASHBACK
Andrew and
Sarah walk to class.
ANDREW
Hey so would
you um would you um like to…
SARAH
Like to what?
ANDREW
Go to class?
Sarah gives
Andrew a confused look.
PRESENT DAY
EDISON
Look man all
I’m saying is that it’s been two weeks and you haven’t even asked her out. Do
you even know if she’s single?
Andrew doesn’t
answer.
EDISON
You don’t know
if she’s single.
ANDREW
It hasn’t come
up.
EDISON
What do y’all
talk about?
ANDREW
School.
EDISON
Wow.
ANDREW
Look the point
is that I might bring her here and I don’t want her to see this dump.
EDISON
Tell you what.
You gather the courage to ask her out and bring her here then I’ll clean up.
ANDREW
Fine.
Andrew leaves.
EDISON
He’s never
gonna do it.
THE NEXT DAY
INT. POLITICAL
SCIENCE CLASS - DAY
Andrew and
Sarah sit next to each other in their Political Science class.
PSCI PROFESSOR
We’ll end
there for today. Remember, quiz next class.
Andrew and
Sarah get up to leave.
SARAH
Ugh I’m gonna
fail that quiz.
ANDREW
We could study
together?
SARAH
You know the
material?
ANDREW
Yeah.
SARAH
Ok yeah that
sounds great. Wanna go to the library?
ANDREW
Actually, I
was thinking my dorm.
SARAH
Oh ok. Great.
ANDREW
Cool.
Andrew and
Sarah exit the classroom. Andrew pulls out his phone and sends a text.
INT. DORM -
DAY
Edison is
sitting on his bed making out with a girl. His phone buzzes.
EDISON
Hold on.
Edison looks
at his phone. His eyes widen.
EDISON
Oh crap.
GIRL
What?
EDISON
You gotta go.
Edison starts
hastily picking up trash
GIRL
What?
EDISON
My roommate is
bringing someone here. Here take this.
Edison hands
her a load of trash and ushers her out. He slams the door. He gets back to
cleaning. While he’s cleaning, Andrew and Sarah enter the dorm building. They
climb the stairs and enter the hallway. They walk down the hallway. When they
reach Andrew and Edison’s dorm, Edison exits with his backpack.
EDISON
Hey bro. I’m
going to class. Bye.
Edison walks away
in a hurry.
Andrew and
Sarah enter the dorm. It is immaculate. Andrew has a stunned look on his face.
SARAH
Should we get
started?
END.
