Jenna King, Madison Rivera, Ella Rumpskin and Leo Lee walk down the library heading into Group Study Room F.
“So, thanks for letting me crash at your place, Madison.” Jenna said.
“No problem, I never used the couch anyway. You know, I just don’t get how you’re going to keep a low profile in the one place that your uncle hangs at.” Madison said.
“Don’t worry. Ella figured out a way to prevent that from happening.” Jenna said.
“It wasn’t hard really. I hacked into Abed’s tracking system.” Ella said.
They stop as they stare at Ella.
“What? He’s the one that did it, not me.” Ella said as she straightens up her pink glasses.
“Don’t track us and we pretend we never heard any of that.” Leo said.
“Deal.” Ella said as they go back to walking.
As they reach the entrance of Group Study Room F, they find Brett making out on the Study Table Mk II with a hot woman. The women looks about Brett’s age with her long brunette hair being grasp by Brett’s hands. The women are disgust by the make out session but Leo bust out his phone. Madison punches his arm.
“What? This is just like that scene from the Notebook only hotter.” Leo said.
The women look at Leo as he smiles. Madison makes a cough. Brett and his girl are too occupying with each other to hear it. Madison coughs some more, this time louder. The couple continues their make out session.
“Brett!” Jenna shouts to them.
Still nothing as the couple continues.
“Don’t worry, I got this.” Ella said.
She walks to a fire extinguisher in the room. She grabs it and uses it to spray the couple. Brett and his girlfriend finally disconnect from each other as Jenna high fives Ella for her work. Ella gives the fire extinguisher to Leo. Brett and the woman recover from the assault.
“Oh, hey guys.” Brett said. “I like you to meet my girlfriend, Melissa.” He said as he introduces the girl that he’s been making out with.
“Hi. Nice to meet you.” Melissa said as she holds out her hand.
“Nice to meet you too.” Jenna said as they shake hands.
Ella notices a smell coming from Jenna’s hand now. She taps Leo’s chest and quietly motions her head about it. Jenna and Madison notice the smell too. Melissa doesn’t notice the weird reaction the group is getting as she starts to leave.
“Well, I have to go sweetie.” Melissa said. “Bye.” She said as they kiss one more time.
She leaves the room as the group looks at Brett.
“So do you guys have notes for the lesson we learned in math?” Brett asks.
“Here.” Ella said as she takes out a folder of notes from her bag.
“Thanks.” He said as he takes the folder and leaves.
The room is quiet for a moment before finally Jenna reacts to her hand.
“Somebody get this off me!” Jenna screams motioning her hand. Ella takes the fire extinguisher from Leo and uses it on Jenna’s hand.
“Oh my god! Brett’s girlfriend has stink hands.” Leo said.
“And you like this guy?” Jenna asks Madison in a dry tone. Madison shrugs at her for the remark. Jenna sniffs her hand. “This smell might never come off.”
“Yeah, that hand’s gone.” Leo said as he takes a sniff.
Jenna looks in her bag. She takes out a black leather glove and puts it on her stink hand. Madison looks at the gloved hand.
“It’s still not helping.” Madison said as she covers her nose.
“I put it on so I can’t infect anyone else.” Jenna replies back.
“How the hell is Brett immune to that?” Leo asks.
“I don’t know but I’m starting to not like him. That being out of the way.” Ella said. Ella takes out a folder and gives it to Jenna.
“What’s this?” Jenna asks as she looks at the folder.
“Well if you’re going to continue playing tutor you should try to know what we’re learning in class.” Ella said.
“Or I can just enroll into it. You do know that right.” Jenna said.
“Fine, but it’s your funeral.” Ella said.
“Wait, why?” Jenna asks.
Ella smiles at her.

After their math class, Jenna walks out the door crawling on the floor.
“It doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t make any sense.” She screams as she starts crying. The students in the hallway stare at her as they walk away. Brett and Madison walk out of the class as Brett looks at the panicking Jenna.
“Is she okay?” Brett asks.
“Yeah, it’s just a ritual she does. We’ll see you later.” Madison said.
Brett leaves to where his girlfriend, Melissa is. She has been waiting for him down the hallway. Their embrace makes Madison bite her lower lip a bit. Leo walks out of the door and crouch down to Jenna still crying.
“Man, do you get emotional.” Leo said.
Jenna with her masquerade running down her face punches him in the chest as he goes down.
“Sorry.” Leo said in pain as he tries to recovers from the blow.
Ella walks out of the door as she looks at the two on the ground. She shakes her head.
“Idiots.” She said.
“What kind of teacher use murder in math?” Jenna screams.
“He did it using Grand Theft Auto to play out the equations. Besides this is Greendale remember.” Leo said as he finally gets up. He grabs Jenna’s hand and pulls her up. Madison is still focus on Brett and Melissa.
“Madison. Stop looking at them. It’s creepy.” Jenna said.
“No, he just locked himself in a locker with her. How is it not rocking?” Madison said in shock.
“You have a very bad taste in men.” Jenna said shaking her head.

The group is in Study Room F as they sit around the Study Table Mark II. They are quiet as Jenna is still recuperating from her experience in Math class and the situation with her hand. Brett smiles at them.
“So I was thinking about letting my girlfriend join our…” Brett said.
“NO!” Jenna snaps.
“Why?” Brett asks. “She’s thinking of switching to our class and she could use the help.”
“I don’t like her. She’s not allowed here.” Madison said.
Brett changes his focus to Madison.
“What?” Brett said.
“You heard me. This is my study group and I’m not allowing your girlfriend to join us. I saw what you two did in that locker. That’s not cool, Brett. I’m not allowing you to do that here.” Madison said.
“Also there are no intercourse signs here.” Leo said.
“And her hands stink.” Jenna said.
“What? Melissa’s hands don’t stink.” Brett objects.
Jenna moves her gloved hand to his face. He gasps in disgust.
“That is never going to come off.” Jenna said.
“You know what? Screw this group. Screw you guys. I’m transferring out of here anyway. This place is just a rat hole invested with giant rats.” Brett yells.
“Actually that’s the movie Graveyard Shift, based off of the short story by Stephen King.” Ella said.
“Nobody here cares about pop culture references or any of your god damn knowledge about stuff and observations.” Brett yells.
Ella gasps.
“Nobody cares about your cool gangster atmosphere with a kind heart gimmick.” Brett yells at Leo.
“Hey, you can’t just assume I’m like that.” Leo said.
“I don’t care that you like me.” Brett said to Madison. She gasps. “I knew all along, who ask only one person to be in a study group when you don’t have one? You’re crazy.” He continues.
“Hey, Madison is not crazy!” Jenna yells back.
“You’re just a liar. Who the hell certifies a tutor? You’re all just a big pile of emotional wreck!” Brett counters.
Jenna starts to get up to attack Brett. Madison, Leo, and Ella restrain her as Brett quickly moves away from the table and near the back entrance of the Study Room.
“Get out of here now.” Ella yells.
“And don’t ever come back!” Madison yells.
Brett turns to leaves from the back entrance. As he leaves he bums into a guy that looks exactly like him. The group is shock at the discovery of Brett’s twin. The group quickly looks at Ella. She notices their stares.
“Hey, I can be surprise by this too you know.” Ella said.
The twins stop for a moment.
“Hey Brett, what’s going on?” the guy asks.
“Shut up Eric. I’m not in the mode for your crap.” Brett said.
“Dude, what’s wrong? I thought you were studying with your friends?” Eric asks.
“You mean those losers over there at that table. Screw those guys. You hang out with them if you want. You’ll fit right in.” Brett said as he leaves.
Eric looks at his brother as he leaves before turning his glance to the group. He walks to them as the group looks at him confuse by what to expect. He looks nervous as the group continues to stare at him.
“I’m sorry about my brother. He’s a big douchebag.” Eric said.
“Brett had a twin?” Leo asks confuse by the situation.
“Yeah, he does a good job of hiding it.” Eric said.
“So what’s his problem with you?” Ella asks.
“He always feels that he’s the better twin. It’s pretty stupid but he always brags that his girlfriend is the best. ” Eric said.
“His girlfriend’s hand stinks though.” Leo said.
“I know right.” Eric said.
“You don’t have a girlfriend do you?” Madison asks.
“Stay.” Jenna said to Madison as she glares at her.
“No I don’t actually. I guess that’s one of the reason my brother always think he’s better than me. I want more in a relationship. I want to be with someone that brings out the best in me and I want to be able to bring out the best in her. I don’t want to be the kind of guy that is an emotionless prick like my brother is. I want the two of us to be able to accept ourselves for who we are. I mean of course we’ll fight sometimes but that’s natural. Relationships are complicated but it doesn’t have to be when you’re with that person.” Eric said as he looks gloomy by the thought of it.
“Aww.” Madison and Leo said together.
“Are you anything like you’re brother?” Ella asks.
“No. We never hang out much when we were young. We just never connected. He was always good at everything and people expected me to be just like him.” Eric said.
“Then how come he’s at Greendale with you?” Madison asks.
“I really don’t know. I think he took pity at me. I wasn’t doing anything with my life and my brother had just got his third degree. He’s a perfectionist really.” Eric said.
Ella shrugs as she shakes her head. Jenna looks at Eric a bit.
“Do you want to study with us?” Jenna asks.
The group is surprise by Jenna’s question. Eric looks at her and then to the group.
“Why?” Eric said.
“Because maybe being friends with us could be the one thing your brother never could do.” Jenna said as she smiles. Eric looks at them as he takes in the words.
“Sure. Why not? I need a math credit anyway.” He said as he smiles.
They all take a seat around the Study Table Mark II. Eric takes Brett’s old seat. The group looks at each other around the table quietly.
“I feel like we’re missing something.” Madison said.
“We could always add more people.” Ella said.
“I know a hobo. I think he would love to join us.” Leo said. The group groans at him except for Eric.
“Why are we groaning? We don’t know anything about this hobo.” Eric said.
“He’s a hobo, we don’t need one.” Jenna said.
“Well actually. I wouldn’t mind a hobo. It would be nice to have a guinea pig in the future.” Ella said.
Everyone starts arguing as Madison smiles.
“There it is.” She said.
