FADE IN
SCENE 1. CLASSROOM.
CHARACTER ONE sits at a computer desk, finishing up a test. CUT TO a lot of different, dramatic angles of them stressing, their fingers typing on the keyboard, the screen, etc. FINALLY, they finish.
CHARACTER ONE
Finally. It's over.
Pan to CHARACTER TWO, who is sitting beside them.
CHARACTER TWO
See? That wasn't so bad!
ONE
I guess. I've studied for this test the entire last two weeks and I still think I could've studied more.
TWO
If you studied anymore, you wouldn't have had a social life.
ONE
I guess. Oh! The results are calculated.
TWO
Good luck! I bombed mine.
CHARACTER ONE views the results, and isn't happy with them.
TWO
So?
ONE
I don't want to talk about it.
Angry, CHARACTER ONE gets up and storms out defeated. CHARACTER TWO just shrugs and continues on their phone or computer.
