## Plot

The paperwork has been filled out, and Brianna officially is enrolled at Community College of Chicago. Brianna has a terrible time there, and feels college isn't right for her. Mrs. Sendy tries to convince her to stay, and enlists the help of Aaron to try to help Brianna have a good time.

## Overview

Brianna: What?
Danny whispers to her from across the table.
Danny: When Mom clears her throat, she has something to say.
Brianna: Oh.
Abigail puts her hands together.
Mrs. Sendy: We have some news. The forms and paperwork has just been finished, and starting tomorrow, Brianna will be attending Community College of Chicago!
At this news, Aaron nearly jumps out of his seat.
Aaron: That's where I go.
Mrs. Sendy: Exactly. We were kind of hoping you could show Brianna around.
Aaron: There is no way on earth-
Aaron catches Mr. Sendy's glare and doesn't finish his sentence.
Mrs. Sendy: You said that you have been educated a bit right?
Brianna: Yeah, kinda.
Mrs. Sendy: Are you excited?
Brianna: No. Not at all.
Mr. Sendy: Did you expect to be a freeloader?
Mrs. Sendy: Marcus!
Abigail and Marcus argue in a hushed manner. Brianna finishes her food and leaves the table. Danny and Aaron exchange a look.
~Next Scene~
Brianna steps onto campus, and looks around and sees most people traveling in groups or duos. She puts down her bag and stretches, since the bag is so heavy. A guy is walking by, and trips over her bag.
Brianna: Klutz.
Guy: Watch where you put your stuff.
The guy kicks her bag a little for good measure, and continues talking and walking off with his friends. Ashley sees the whole thing and goes over to Brianna.
Ashley: Don't worry about them. They're jerks.
Brianna: I wasn't worrying.
Ashley: I wonder how I've only noticed you this morning. (What she is saying in the gif)
Brianna: Possibly because this is my first day?
Ashley: Oh! Welcome, then.
Brianna: Mhm, thanks. Those guys already gave me a pretty fantastic welcome already.
Ashley tries to give Brianna a smile. Aaron walks over to the two girls.
Aaron: You left this.
He hands Brianna a paper that most likely has the information she needs on it.
Brianna: Oh.
Aaron: You're welcome. \*He notices Ashley and nods.\* Ashley.
Ashley: Aaron.
Aaron walks away. Brianna looks at her paper, and picks her bag back up.
Brianna: I've gotta go. Ashley.
Brianna leaves and enters the building. Brianna steps on something gross as she walks in, which she glances at and keeps walking. She struggles to open her locker, but finally gets it open. She sees how dirty it is inside and shrugs. She puts her stuff in there anyway, and gets the book for her first subject. She goes into the classroom.
~Next Scene~
Brianna walks through the Sendy door and looks tired and worn out.
Brianna: That was miserable.
Mrs. Sendy walks in from the kitchen.
Mrs. Sendy: It was that bad? Can we talk about it?
Brianna: How about no?
After seeing Mrs. Sendy's dejected composure, Brianna forces a smile.
Brianna: I have a lot of homework to do. Nothing personal.
Brianna runs upstairs, and Aaron comes in.
Mrs. Sendy: Oh! Aaron! I'm glad you're here. Can you talk to Brianna for me?
Aaron: No. Why?
Mrs. Sendy: I think she is having a hard time at college.
Aaron: Everyone does. What's new?
Aaron leaves. Danny and Mr. Sendy come in, greet Mrs. Sendy, and leave.
The episode continues with Brianna having a hard time and barely noticing Ashley. Aaron finally shows Brianna some life hacks about college to make her experience easier, and everyone is satisfied by the end of the episode.
