CUT FROM BLACK EXT. LIBRARY - DAY (SCENE 1) 1-1 GIRL puts on HEADPHONES. Updates TWITTER on IPHONE: "Going to the library to study :( #thelibrarystruggleisreal #testintwodays". The TIME is 5:07. Then walks inside. INT. LIBRARY - SAME DAY (SCENE 2) 2-2 GIRL walks past BOOKSHELVES. 2-3 She settles at a table with a GROUP OF PEOPLE and smiles. They get weirded out and starts to pack up and leave. 2-4 GIRL sits and settles down, sighing as she pulls out a BIG BAG OF SUN CHIPS. Trying to quietly open them (but failing), she looks around to see if people are looking at her (they are). 2-5 LIBRARIAN swoops in and stops her, pointing at a "NO SUN CHIPS" SIGN. GIRL, with her face stuffed, tries to apologize. LIBRARIAN shushes her, pointing at a "QUIET IN THE LIBRARY" SIGN. GIRL pulls a COKE CAN. LIBRARIAN stops her, point at a "NO COKE" SIGN. GIRL slowly puts COKE CAN back in her bag. A STUDENT from across opens the room opens a SPRITE CAN and drinks it. LIBRARIAN goes to seek him out. 2-6 GIRL opens her book and puts on her headphones. She looks up at the FRONT DESK and notices BOY. "OH YEAH" BY YELLO starts playing. BOY smiles at her and charmingly rests his arm on a STACK OF BOOKS on the desk. LIBRARIAN come from behind the desk, stares at both of them for a moment. Then, she pulls the STACK from under him and shushes GIRL, who just realizes that her headphones are not plugged in. BOY leaves to go to a table. 2-7 Awkward glances and exchanges between GIRL and BOY. 2-8 BOY gets up to get another book. GIRL slowly follows suit, going to the other side of the bookshelf. She pulls out a book and sees the BOY; he sees her - semi-awkward exchange. They put the books back. She goes picks out another book. He coincidentally picks out the book at the same position on the other side. They smile. She tries to see if she can do this one more time and picks out another book. RACHET PERSON appears from the other side, sucking on a LOLIPOP and eating HOT CHEETOS.
