In the Commons hallways by the doors, on the steps. Popular kids are eating lunch on
the steps. The nerds are nearby.
Chris: Yeah, I see them, eating by themselves with no friends in the world. All they have
is each other. (Chuckles.) What lames!
Vick: Hey nerd, no one cares where you got those stupid socks from! (He laughs with
his friends.) Those are only cool for nerds. I wouldn’t buy those.
Ari looks down in shame as Vick and his crew laugh in her face. Ari’s friend Alex then
steps in.
Alex: C’mon. Ari, I like your socks and no matter what Vicks says, they’re cool to me.
Dre: Yeah, you’re a nerd too. You may be smart but your thought still don’t matter
because when you’re a nerd, no one cares.
Alex: Well I might not be cool to you but I’m cool to someone else.

Ari: No she’s cool to me, and she’s my best friend.
The popular kids let out sighs, say ‘whatever, what a joke’.
Harmony: Aww, isn’t that so cute- two peas in a pod: nerd and nerdier. Face it, you will
never be cool and you will never be pretty like me.
Ari: You think you’re so pretty Harmony? Well let me tell you this: you’re not. You’re so
busy thinking that if you wear the right clothes or if you do your hair the right way then
you’ll be the best looking thing walking, but are you smart? Are you kind? Are you
loved? Or are you just a snot?
Alex: A snot, a ‘I want to be a goody two shoes’, that’s all. But what would you do
without all of these things? Would these people still be your friends? No, they would
leave you high and dry and not think twice about you.
Harmony: Hold up. These are my friends and you don’t know what you’re talking about,
so you need to just step back.
Now Ari and Harmony are standing face to face. Cyd speaks up for Harmony.
Harmony steps back and Cyd steps forward, about to speak. At that moment the bell
rings and everyone has to go class.
All of the students go to class. On the way to Chris pushes Ari and all of her books fall on
the floor. Harmony walks by.
Harmony kicks the books so that they scatter all over the floor. Ari is on the ground
trying to collect them. Chris and Harmony laugh as they walk away.
Ari, still on the ground gathering her books, turns to the camera.
Ari: Harmony and I used to be friends, before she got popular. When she became popular
she started picking on me and being fake. In reality there is no such thing as a popular
crew and a nerd crew. People that consider themselves to be popular are really just
followers. Nerds may be people who are smart, or just don’t want to be fake popular.
People shouldn’t put labels on other people because of who they are.
Ari gets up, dusts herself off and walks away confidently.
