INT. MATH CLASS - DAY

Edison sits in his Math class. The class is dismissed. Edison gets up to leave.

MATH PROFESSOR
Edison, stay a moment.

Edison walks over to the Math Professor’s desk.

EDISON
Is something wrong?

MATH PROFESSOR
Edison, you’re currently failing my class and next week is finals.

EDISON
Do you offer extra credit?

MATH PROFESSOR
No. The only way you can pass my class is by getting an A on the final.

EDISON
What’s my grade now?

MATH PROFESSOR
F. Do you know what the F stands for?

EDISON
Phenomenal?

MATH PROFESSOR
No. No it does not.

EDISON
Look professor, it’s been hard lately. My girlfriend and I are- in something and-

MATH PROFESSOR
Either pass the final or retake the class. I’m sorry but that’s life Edison.

Edison leaves.

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT

Andrew and Gabby walk down the hallway holding hands. They stop at the door of Andrew’s dorm. They start kissing.

ANDREW
You know, I just got the new Marvel movie on my laptop. You wanna watch?

GABBY
Yes.


INT. ANDREW & EDISON’S DORM - NIGHT

Andrew and Gabby enter the dorm. Edison is asleep at his desk. He is using a textbook as a pillow.

GABBY
Is he ok?

Andrew goes over to Edison and shakes him. Edison sits up.

EDISON
W-what’s going on?

ANDREW
It looks like you’re actually studying.

EDISON
I’m failing math. If I don't get an A on the final, I’ll have to retake the class.

ANDREW
How is studying going?

EDISON
Well let’s see. I read the first question and then took a nap. So I’d say it’s going pretty well.

GABBY
Have you tried a tutor?

EDISON
Tutor?

GABBY
Yeah. The library offers them. They’re free. You just go and they assign you one that’s available.

EDISON
Thanks, I’ll check it out.

THE NEXT DAY

INT. LIBRARY - DAY

Edison enters the library and goes to the front desk.

EDISON
Excuse me. I need a math tutor.

LIBRARIAN
Let me see if there’s one available.

The Librarian checks her computer.

LIBRARIAN
There’s one available in study room 5. Nice girl. She’ll be expecting you.

EDISON
Thanks.

Edison walks over to the entrance of study room 5.

INT. STUDY ROOM - DAY

Edison enters the study room and stops. Brittaney is sitting at the study room table.

EDISON
Brittaney? You’re a tutor?

BRITTANEY
Yes. I assume you’re the guy I’m tutoring?

EDISON
Um yeah. Yeah I guess I am.

BRITTANEY
Take a seat and we’ll get started.

Edison takes a seat.

BRITTANEY
I was thinking that we go through the review and if you have any questions, we can-

EDISON
How are you?

BRITTANEY
What?

EDISON
Are you okay?

BRITTANEY
Edison I’m here as your tutor.

EDISON
What I said that night, I didn't mean it. Any of it.

BRITTANEY
We’ll, it sure sounded like it. Now back to the math.

INT. STUDENT UNION CAFETERIA - DAY

Andrew and Gabby sit at a table. Edison joins them.

ANDREW
Hey, how was tutoring?

EDISON
Well, I actually have a better understanding of math.

GABBY
Do I sense a but coming?

EDISON
But, my tutor is Brittaney.

GABBY
No.

EDISON
Yep.

ANDREW
Did you two only talk about math?

EDISON
It’s all she wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk and try to repair things but… she really has moved on.

ANDREW
At least you know for sure.

EDISON
Yeah, I guess.

THE NEXT DAY

INT. STUDY ROOM - DAY

Edison pauses as he is about to enter the study room. Brittaney is sitting at the table looking at a textbook.

Edison enters the study room.

EDISON
I’m an asshole.

BRITTANEY
Pardon?

EDISON
I’m a grade A asshole who was a complete dick to you.

BRITTANEY
Edison-

EDISON
I should never have drawn conclusions about you and Paul. It was wrong. I was completely out of line. I’m sorry Britt. And you know what… I love you. There, I said it. I love you Britt.

Awkward silence. Brittaney stands up and gathers her things.

BRITTANEY
I think you should get another tutor.

Brittaney leaves.

EDISON
Britt!
