Girls Gone Mild
This is an original series I put together for my Television Production thesis in the Summer and Fall of 2013.
Overview
The Wallace house is for losers. At least that is what everyone from the Sterling, Gideon and Radcliffe houses say at the WASP-filled Victoria Park (co-ed) Boarding School. So naturally, this is where Ingrid, a high-IQ-low-attention-span scholarship student is sent when she transfers in her junior year. There she meets her cell-mates and new best friends, Priyannga, Christine and Judy, who were all shunned to Wallace for various, unspoken-but-known reasons, including their race, social ineptitude and low socio-economic standings.
Soon after meeting, the girls decide that they can not be passive anymore and should rise up against their bullying peers and the indifferent administration. However, their fear of confrontation or doing anything that may disappoint their parents, forces them to tone down their plans and decide to compete for the House Cup – a year-end award which provides special privileges to the winning house.
Throughout the series, the girls hatch hare-brained schemes to win house points but often get distracted by their quirky commonalities. Eventually the girls create a surrogate family for themselves, much to the disgust, but more often disinterest, of their peers. Many of their adventures are based on their imaginations taking on small scale issues and pushing them in unconventional directions.
Another major event throughout the series is the group discovering boys. From trying to flirt with their hot Economics teacher, to stalking the arrogant-but-oh-so-sexy upperclassmen to making up songs about the incredibly awkward freshmen they tutor for extra credit, the girls always manage to find themselves in cringe-worthy and and borderline creepy situations with the opposite sex.
The girls do not manage to win the house cup either in their junior or senior year. However, as the series grows, the girls will as well. The lessons they have learned from high school will help them start anew when they head out to college, where the girls struggle with redefining their relationships and learning how to act around 'normal people' all the while hunting for a new 'arch-nemesis' – because, when you think about it, High School is actually pretty fun.
