Some Freaks

At Benjamin Franklin High School, a unique friendship blossoms among three students: Jill, Matt, and Elmo. Despite their differences, they bond over their experiences in high school, with each of them contributing to the group dynamic.

As graduation approaches, the connection between Jill and Matt deepens, leading to a sense of camaraderie that brings them closer together. However, Elmo begins to feel left out and isolated as their friendship evolves.

After high school graduation, Jill moves to California, motivated to change her lifestyle. She commits to losing 50 pounds over the next six months, focusing on personal growth and transformation away from her friends.

Back in their hometown, Matt navigates life as a dishwasher while saving money for a prosthetic eye. His desire for a new appearance reflects his struggle with self-acceptance and the impact of his one-eyed identity.

Matt surprises Jill with an unexpected visit on her college campus, where he is stunned by her remarkable physical transformation. Their reunion introduces hints of nostalgia, but also underlying tensions due to their personal changes.

During Matt's stay, the disparity in their lifestyles becomes evident, leading to a significant argument. This fight culminates in Jill's heartbreaking ultimatum for Matt, stating, 'Never contact me again,' marking the end of their relationship.

After her breakup with Matt, Jill is approached by Patrick, the popular boy from school, who invites her to dinner. Initially hesitant, her friends' encouragement leads her to reconsider, indicating her desire to move on from Matt.

Jill and Patrick prepare to attend a fraternity party known as the 'Cattle Call,' an event that makes Jill anxious due to the expectations surrounding it. The idea of being weighed publicly heightens her insecurities.

During the frat party, Jill's distress about the weighing ritual is alleviated by Patrick's supportive actions. He stands up for her, allowing her to feel more comfortable in an otherwise challenging environment.

As the party goes on, Patrick's older brother arrives and shares cryptic instructions with Jill, leaving her perplexed and uneasy. This interaction adds a layer of discomfort to Jill's already tumultuous experience that night.

In a pivotal moment, Patrick hesitates during an intimate encounter with Jill, which leads her to feel rejected and confused. This emotional distance further complicates Jill's night and her evolving relationship with Patrick.

After the awkward encounter with Patrick, Jill inadvertently discovers Patrick's older brother in a compromising situation. This revelation adds to her sense of distress and reinforces her feelings of being out of place at the party.
