Page Count: 7<\/p>\n
Genre: Comedy<\/p>\n
Cast Breakdown:
\nEMILY SILBER (18), Unmotivated but inherently kind, Emily has coasted through high school doing the bare minimum. She\u2019s smart, but she\u2019s never cared enough to show it until a major challenge threatens her graduation. Beneath her apathy, she has a relatable heart and a dry sense of humor that surfaces when the pressure is on. Sally\u2019s step-sister.
\nSALLY SILBER (14), dangerously smart. A goody-two shoes on the outside, but maniacal on the inside. She runs the underground cheat-sheet operation like a mini mob boss, keeping her peers in line with a mix of intimidation and charm. Sally is fiercely loyal to those she trusts, but manipulative when needed. Emily\u2019s step-sister.
\nPRINCIPLE PIERCE (67), senile, selfish, greedy. He lives and breathes rankings and appearances. He probably spends more time at the school than at home.
\nDARLA (15) and a half (the half is very important), brace\u2013faced, a tough nut to crack. She\u2019s the bouncer of the ring. She has a homework-eating pet rat named Nugget.
\nTHE CROMWELL TWINS – KATE and NATE (14), silent but violent. They might scare you a bit, but they\u2019re loyal as hell.
\nEVAN (13), meek, the shortest kid in his grade. Is used as a bitch boy for the operation until he gets kicked out because he can\u2019t handle the pressure.
\nMR. SMITH (30s), a cool AP Calculus teacher, someone you can trust.<\/p>\n
