Facebook Fanatic

*Scene takes place in a common room where a group of five kids sit down to hang out and begin a study session. A girl sits at the opposite end of the table and opens up her mac computer.

Character 1: Hey, did you guys see what Shelly was wearing today?

Character 2: (Laughs) Yea that was so weird I didn’t even know what to say.

*Group shrugs and begins to take out school supplies and packets

Character 3: Okay so let’s read this first section first and then discuss how we’re going to go about it.

*Group nods in agreement and dives into a their reading material with deep concentration

*Few seconds pass...girl let’s out a small giggle. A few group members glance up, and continue to read

*Girl begins to tap her fingers on the computer surface, and let’s out a sigh of annoyance. All group members stare at her

Girl: Sorry...this girl isn’t even that pretty I don’t know why she’s getting so many comments on her new album..

*Group gives her a blank stare, and begins to work again

*Few more seconds pass, and girl lets out a squeal

Girl: Brian Towny just POKED me!!

*Group gets significantly more annoyed and a few members roll their eyes

*Girl takes out a digital camera and takes a self-snapper doing a peace sign

Girl: (mumbling while looking at her camera) Totally about to be my new prof pic..

Certain group member: Hey would you mind keeping it down a bit? We’re just trying to get this lit project done....so yea...

*Girl shrugs innocently

*Girl begins to type obnoxiously loud and fast

Girl: (talking to herself) Oh my god no way.....no she didn’t...I could never do that...

Another group member: Seriously could you please just stop talking to yourself? I literally can’t concentrate at all.

Girl: Oh, sorry! My sister just turned 21 and is telling me about her night...sooo crazy.

*Some group members give her an awkward nod of acknowledgement to shut her up

*More seconds go by....girl begins to look confused and places her finger to her chin..

Girl: Wait, you don’t know Tracy Walker do you? I was looking at her profile the other day and I could have sworn I saw someone who looked exactly like you in one of her pictures!

*Group begins to whisper to themselves and come to consensus.

Group member: Alright one, yea I play soccer with Tracy. Two, if you can’t shut up we’re gonna have to move to another table and that would be really inconvenient after we just got settled in. Can you please just stop?

Girl: Jesus....chill. Alright whatever.

*Long moment goes by, girl gasps and slams her hand on the table.

*Group members stand up quickly and pack up their stuff. They begin to walk out the door.

Girl: Wait you didn’t even ask for my name!....Request me ok?!

*Group leaves room.
