==Plot summary==
Note: This plot summary is still under construction. Several parts are incomplete or missing.
Laura Wilson is an ordinary girl who is in her freshman year of college. She hasn't made any friends since she was in elementary school, since she moved to a different town before she started middle school and found it hard to make friends in a new town. All Laura has had to entertain herself without any friends is a journal that she uses to write about her day, as well as stories about adventures with characters who represent her ideal vision of a friend. As Laura begins her freshman year of college, she is worried that she won't be able to make friends. (Friendship is Only a Dream)
One week after her first day of college, Laura is walking back to her dorm after coming back from a shopping trip, when she suddenly hears a voice crying for help. When she turns to the source of the voice, she just sees a dirty, damaged douche. Thinking that she was just imagining that the douche talked, she tries to walk past it, but she hears the same voice she heard earlier tell her call her a c-nt for not helping them. After being shocked at what the voice said to her, she picks up the douche out of curiosity, wondering why it spoke to her. Once she gets to her dorm, she cleans up the douche and goes to sleep.

Sony Pictures/Columbia Pictures-None
Annapura Pictures-None
Point Grey Pictures-We see a journal that is just like the one Laura uses and an animated douche inside the desk as it closes, and we see an animated sketch on the desk of some sort of big party with humans. Douche busts though the doors of the dance hall, and drinks what is supposedly alcohol that is in a punch bowl, making him juice up, while the partygoers stare at him. The rectangle is drawn as Douche begins to dance with the other partygoers.
