[Alexander walks into the library, with a new sweater]

Alexander: Hey fellas! Ready to make like Newton and get this physics project in motion?  

John: What?

Alexander: Y’know like, Newton’s law of motion, like physics?

John: This project’s on thermodynamics. What the fuck are you talking about?  

Alexander: Okay, it’s just a little joke, okay? I got it on good authority that I'm actually pretty funny.

John: Funny looking maybe. And not even that right now. Where’s your bow tie?  

Maria: People are gonna start thinking you're poor, Alex.

Alexander: Okay, I’m just trying out a new look, okay?  

John: At the library? Who are you trying to impress? Maria?

Maria:  Yeah, you don’t even need to try with me, Alex. I just want someone to touch me. Anyone, please!

Alexander: Call down, Maria!

John: I know what this is about! Somebody walks to the office with Elizabeth Lauter and suddenly he’s Stefan Urquelle. Well, don’t get your hopes up, Alex. She’s just using you to cheat on a test!

Maria: What was it like when she touched your arm? Did you cum?

Alexander: Jesus, Maria!
Maria: I need to know!

Alexander: Quit it! We just had a nice falk!

Maria: Ah.

Alexander: She's cool!

John: We know she’s cool, Alex. You're not! You and Eliza? It’s a fantasy! Like a boy and his anime love pillows. It’s a beautiful dream but I’ll never hold the real Rei or Asuka in my arms.

[Suddenly, Alexander gets a call]

Maria: Alex! Silence your phone in the library!

Alexander: Sorry!

Maria: God…who do you think it is?

John: Probably a telemarketer.

Maria: Lucky! I'm such a loser, telemarketers hang up on me..

[Alexander backs away, and answers it]

Alexander: Hello?

Eliza: Hi, Alex. It's Eliza. From class?

Alexander: Oh..yeah.. Elizabeth Lauter, the mayor’s daughter. I know.

[Maria hears it and turns to John]

Maria: ALEX'S TALKING TO ELIZABETH LAUTER!

John: NANI?!

[The two tiptoe slowly]

Eliza: Alex, you’re never gonna believe this, I’m actually calling you on a payphone outside of that Italian restaurant on 1st. You know? Pasqualli’s?

Alexander: Oh, yeah, I love that place.

Eliza: Yeah, the breadsticks are really good.

[Maria and John get close]

Maria: What is she saying? What the fuck is she saying?!

Eliza: And uh, I know this might seem presumptuous seeing as how I got you in trouble but…my dad took my phone away and I’m never gonna get it back unless I pick up my grades so, I was wondering if you could meet me here and help me study?

Alexander: What, you want me to meet you at Pasqualli’s?

[As the two hear "Pasqualli’s..]

Maria: EEEEEE!

John: OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!

Alexander: Could you hold on for a second Eliza?

[He covers the phone]

Alexander: What’s the matter with you guys?! You just told me not to get my hopes up!  

John: That was before Pasqualli’s! Th-that’s where all the cool kids go before homecoming! Wee-oo, wee-oo! This is not a drill, man. This is a date! A date!

Eliza: And you know I’d ask one of my friends to do it but I’m actually the smart one in the group if you can believe that.

Maria: See! She needs you, Alex! Like Princess Leia! You’re her only hope!  

John: Really? A ‘Star Wars’ analogy! Need I go into why ‘Attack on Titan’ is superior in every possible way?  

Alexander: Shut the fuck up!

Eliza: Excuse me?

Alexander: Ah, not you! Just these two fucking nerds that won’t leave me alone.  

Eliza: Well, could you ditch those nerds and come help me out? 

Alexander: Um...Uh..

Maria: What are you waiting for, Alex? A naughty school girl wants you to help her study? God, they don’t call it a cram session for nothing. Watch some porn, you’ll see.  

[Alexander covers his phone again]

Alexander: Okay, stop being gross, both of you! I had a good day today, okay? A cool, popular girl told me I was funny, can we just leave it on a high note? You’re telling me I gotta be funny again? I didn’t do it on purpose the first time!  

John: Alex, you’ve been given a once in a lifetime opportunity. S-someone’s willing to tolerate your presence for a whole evening! That may never happen again! Destiny knocks but once and yours is Elizabeth Lauter. You luck son of a bitch.

Alexander: Eliza? I'll be there in twenty minutes!
