Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


A school dance is coming up, and [[AlphaBitch Sandi]] tricks [[LovableAlphaBitch Quinn]] into organizing it, then throws her own party the same day. Quinn, however, manages to pass her duties onto [[CoolLoser Jane]], who has been looking for a way to do a massive art project--she paints the walls in the style of Jackson Pollock. Meanwhile, [[DumbJock Kevin]] and [[DumbBlonde Brittany]] are suffering from a temporary break-up, and attempt to make the other jealous. At the dance, [[TheSnarkKnight Daria]] and Jane meet some interesting guys, only to learn something terrifying about them.
