FADE IN:

EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

A high school is situated in the suburbs on the western part of Hartford, Connecticut.

INT. LIBRARY - DAY

TERRI and KATIE sit near a computer at the library.

Katie is typing away while Terri is scribbling on what appears to be a notebook.

Terri then looks up.

TERRI
What’s the hold up?

Katie then looks at Terri, groggily.

KATIE
I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t understand why you have to make this on a printer when you don’t necessarily have to.

Terri then nods and looks down.

Katie then returns to her business on the computer, typing away in frustration.

Terri then looks up at Katie.

TERRI
Designs, Katie.

KATIE
(sarcastically)
Oh, right.

Katie then types away.

Terri grows seemingly annoyed.

Suddenly, she throws her backpack down and proceeds to walk away.

Katie then turns around.

She attempts to pull Terri back into the fold.

KATIE
Where are you going?

TERRI
I’m going out for some fresh air.

KATIE
You said you wanted to decide on ideas, right?

TERRI
Of course.

Terri pulls out what appears to be a list of ideas on her backpack and hands it to Katie.

Katie inspects the contents on the list.

Her eyes open wide.

Terri shrugs.

TERRI (CONT'D)
It’s not much, but it is a start.

Katie points at the first idea on the list.

KATIE
I like this one.

INSERT - LIST

reading “NUMBER ONE, A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE FOR MERIT”

Terri examines the list.

TERRI
What about this?

Terri then reads the list.

TERRI (CONT’D)
Proven changemaker.

KATIE
Terri, you can’t prove something to be true according to social science. You can observe things.

Terri then shrugs her head.

TERRI
Sounds like something Brittney would say.

Katie then sits back down at the computer and types away.

Terri then looks on her phone.

SUPER: AN HOUR LATER

Katie makes the finishing touches on what appears to be a document.

Terri then looks up as Katie turns around.

KATIE
Letter or A4?

TERRI
Letter.

KATIE
What do you think?

Katie motions Terri to the computer.

SUPER - COMPUTER SCREEN

reading, “VOTE TERESA ‘TERRI’ SMITH FOR CLASS PRESIDENT, AND YOU’LL MAKE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE”

BACK TO LIBRARY.

TERRI
Does everyone think I’m Pedro Sanchez or something?

KATIE
Geez, Terri. Always with Napoleon Dynamite.

TERRI
At least you got that reference.

Terri then looks down at her phone and types away.

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - AFTERNOON

Terri is walking to her locker. All of a sudden, she runs into COREY, 16.

COREY
Hey Terri! I saw your poll!

TERRI
Oh yeah. Waiting on the results.

Corey and Terri then walk together to class.
