Erica
I want you to take off all your clothes…
Erica
And jump into the sorority-row pool.
It's the final day of pledge week.
And Erica of Alpha Phi Phi is in control of my future.
If I can get through tonight, I'll be a sister at the hottest sorority on campus.
Then I'll be a total social reject for the next four years.
Erica
You know the rules, Zoe.
Erica
I choose three dares for you to complete.
Erica
Each will be riskier than the previous one.
Erica
If you complete all of the dares, you're in.
Something is telling me this isn't going to be as easy as it sounds.
I have a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Erica
You can back out now…
Erica
If you don't think you've got what it takes.
I bite my lip and think for a moment.
I've spent my whole life being a nobody.
And it's time for that to change.
Erica
You're still fully clothed.
Erica
Are you out already?
Zoe
What if someone sees me?
Zoe
They’ll think I'm crazy.
Erica
Are you really going to let what people MAY think of you—
Erica
Get in the way of your future?
I inhale a breath of courage—
Then I slip off my dress…
And cannonball into the pool.
But the feeling exhilarates me.
Erica
The games have begun.
After a quick towel dry, Erica issues the next challenge.
Erica
So, Zoe, it's time for me to get to know you a little better.
Erica
Do you have a crush on anyone at school yet?
Erica
If you want to be sorority sisters, there can be no secrets between us.
Zoe
Okay, so there is this ONE guy.
Zoe
And he makes me laugh all the time.
Zoe
We have chemistry class together.
Erica
Have you gone on a date with him yet?
Zoe
He's way out of my league.
Erica
You've got the hots for one of the Rossdale brothers?
Zoe
Every girl at school has a crush on at least one of the brothers.
Erica
I'm a Garrett Rossdale girl myself.
Erica
Nicholas is a mega-hottie, though.
Erica
You should totally ask him out.
Erica
A guy loves a girl who makes the first move.
Zoe
I need to wait until I'm in a sorority, at least…
Erica shakes her head at me.
Erica
It's time for your second dare.
My heart drops into my stomach.
Erica
I dare you to kiss Nicholas Rossdale.
Erica
Now you have 45 minutes.
Erica
Don't force me to make it 30 minutes.
Zoe
I don't even know where he is!
Erica
He's at the Kappa campus party.
Erica
It's a Friday tradition.
Erica
It's something you'll learn about if you become one of us.
Erica
The clock is ticking, Zoe.
Erica
You only have 15 minutes left.
Zoe
But I can't find him!
Zoe
You said he would be here.
I continue to look desperately around the party for Nicholas.
While keeping track of the time.
He turns around and smiles at me.
Nicholas
You look beautiful tonight.
Nicholas
I've never seen you at a Kappa party before.
Nicholas
Let me get you a drink.
Erica mouths at me from across the room.
Zoe
Um, yeah, no to the drink.
Nicholas
Come on, have a drink!
Nicholas
Let loose, chemistry buddy.
Zoe
I literally don't have time right now.
Zoe
I've only got 60 seconds!
Nicholas
60 seconds for what?
Put my hands behind his head…
I expect him to pull away.
He runs his hands through my hair.
His touch sends tingles through my body.
Nicholas
You don't need to be sorry for that.
Nicholas
I've been wanting to do that for a while.
Nicholas
Come on, you know I've got a crush on you.
Nicholas
I've been flirting with you for three weeks now.
Nicholas
What did you think I was doing?
Zoe
I just thought you were being cute and charming.
Nicholas
You think I'm cute, huh?
Then Erica abruptly walks between Nicholas and me.
Erica
I need to steal Zoe from you.
Erica grabs me by the hand and leads me away.
Erica
It's time for your third and final dare.
Erica
I dare you to kiss Garrett.
Erica
In front of Nicholas.
Erica
I don't joke when it comes to dares.
Zoe
But I don't even like Garrett.
Zoe
If I kiss him, I'll lose any chance of a relationship with Nicholas.
Erica
Well, do you want to be in the sorority or not?
Erica
No one said these dares would be easy.
Erica
You have to prove your commitment to the sorority over these dumb boys.
Zoe
Can I at least tell Nicholas why I'm kissing his brother?
Erica
No, absolutely not.
Erica
You know the rules.
Erica
The three dirty dares are our sorority secret.
Erica
This is your final dare.
Erica
Your actions now will determine whether or not you get into Alpha Phi Phi.
I see Nicholas in the kitchen.
And his brother is there, too.
I can't believe I'm going to do this.
But I can't throw away my chance to be a somebody.
Just because of some guy.
Even if he is tall and muscular and perfect in every way.
I enter the kitchen and walk over to Garrett…
All under the watchful eye of Erica.
Zoe
I need to do something.
Garrett
Are you going to puke or something?
Garrett
You're looking kind of pale.
Nicholas notices me talking to Garrett.
Nicholas
I didn't know you knew Garrett.
Garrett
She said she needed to do something.
Nicholas
What do you need to do?
Erica grabs my arm as I reach the door.
Erica
What are you doing?
Erica
But what about the dare?
I grab Erica's arm and push it off me.
Zoe
I don’t need your dares — OR your sorority.
Zoe
I'm not willing to compromise my values just to join some dumb club.
I storm out of the party…
And head straight for my dorm.
Footsteps sound out from behind me.
And see Erica's serious face.
Zoe
I'd rather be a nobody than a somebody who hurts people on purpose.
Erica
You've passed the third dare.
Zoe
You're not going to get me to do something like that.
Erica
Oh, I hear you loud and clear.
Erica
Every dare shows us something about yourself.
Erica
Dare one was to show you're confident in your skin and don't care what people think.
Erica
Dare two shows that you know what you want and go for it.
Erica
Dare three is the real test—
Erica
It shows you're not willing to compromise your morals.
Erica
Pledge week is over for you.
Erica
Alpha Phi Phi only invites the best girls to join.
Erica
And you're one of them.
