Scene By Scene Walkthrough of the Film

• Opening

• The three geeks are talking in the college canteen. Stacey walks in and the three boys gaze at her; all very jaw dropped.  This leads to a conversation and the competition who can win her heart is formed.

• Bob goes home and researches how to chat up girls on his computer.

• Stu asks his Dad for advice on girls. However, his Dad is a very feminine fashion designer.

• Tom is seen trying on lots of outfits, attempting to look sexy. A fade to black signifies the end of the scene and, more importantly, the end of the day.

  The scene and new day begins with the sound of the school bell ringing and Bob walking up to Stacey in the canteen. He attempts to start a conversation using a series of corny chat up lines such as ‘can I take your picture? So Santa knows what I want for Christmas’. Eventually, Stacey walks away from him without a word.

• In maths, Stu sits behind Stacey. Out loud (seeming not to be aimed in her direction) he starts reading poems. She turns around but not before she throws insults in his direction.

• Tom walks into Stacey by ‘accident’ in the corridors, dressed as a chav. She giggles a bit before walking off with her girl friends. Tom, shocked by the slightest bit of interaction, doesn't see the real chavs approaching who bin him face first.

• The three lads are seen at Tom’s house watching Jeremy Kyle and agree to cancel the competition.

• Next day in the canteen, Bob approaches Stacey and apologizes for his actions. He explains to Stacey he’s a geek who likes W.O.W. (World Of Warcraft). Suddenly, Stacey begins to speak 'Elven' (language on WOW) to Bob and he is gob-smacked. She walks away once again, but this time a grin planted upon her face.

• Stu is behind Stacey once again. She turns around, saying ‘no more poems?’ giggling to herself. He ignores the remark and carries on reading his book. She then notices he’s reading 'Alexander the Great' and his conquest to India. She starts discussing the battle of the two rivers to him and he is impressed with her knowledge.

• Tom bumps into her again, but this time it genuinely is by accident. She then sees he has a comic book t-shirt on and looks around suspiciously, seeing if any of her friends are nearby. She then undoes her jumper zip and reveals she is also wearing one on. Their eyes meet and he asks her out. She agrees on the condition it’s kept a secret.

• On the date, Tom and Stacey are watching the new Spiderman film and he attempts the cheesy 'yawn-arm-around-her' trick as she gently presses his thigh, smiling.

• When walking home, they kiss. Unfortunately, Stu and Bob see this as it was filmed by a few popular chavs on their phones.

• In the canteen, the two other geeks fall out with Tom and Tom becomes popular and begins to sit with the Stacy and the chavs.

• Tom goes up to Stacey and tries to kiss her once again. She avoids the kiss and tells him ‘no’. He is confused and she explains she liked him for being who he was and she disagrees with his actions of abandoning his friends.

• Now everyone realizes Stacey is a geek as she hangs out with Stu and Bob. She revamps her room into a geeky haven, which is shown through a montage.

• Stacey is seen in P.E. getting bullied and teased by her old ‘friends’ now she’s a geek.

• In the canteen, the chavs force Bob to race for sports day (his worst nightmare) and threaten to beat him if he doesn't.

• A montage of Bob training for the race with Stu and Stacey is shown, and Stu is utterly awful.

• It's sports day and as Bob is running, everyone laughs at him for coming last in the race. Tom runs out into the field and rugby tackles the chav ringleader, allowing Bob to finish second from last and saving him from his embarrassment.

• Tom rejoins the group and the scene ends with the three geeks happily getting dumped in the bin, united as best friends again.
