Edison, stay a
moment.

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

Yes.
INT. ANDREW

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.

I think you

Britt!
