Make It Pop

Girls the second floor.

Boys on third floor, upstairs.

Vlog for you, journey of a high school freshman

to chart topping k-pop star.

Watch the dream as I live it.

People!

You're in my shot.

I know it's the first day of school,

but can we clear this hallway please?

Hello?

Coming through.

Perfect.

Hello!

Excuse me.

You, you with the unnatural red hair.

You are?

Jodi Mappa.

Freshman.

My way of red hook Brooklyn.

What up?

Ms. Diona, principal.

McKendrick Prep.

"What up" is we have a dress code here and you,

young lady have gone far beyond it.

Really?

Yes.

That is so sick.

Thank you.

Bye.

School assembly at 3pm!

Attendance is mandatory.

3, 2, 1!

The drop, yeah!

Mr. Davis.

Oh.

Hello!

Caleb Davis?

I'm Mr. Stark, the floor's resident advisor.

Are you my problem?

Sir?

Every year I have a freshman who's a problem.

I don't like problems.

Sir, you're our resident advisor.

Aren't we supposed to come to you with our problems?

So it begins, Mr. Davis.

So it begins.

Woo!

No.

Uh huh.

Mine!

Called it!

O-M-G who dresses you?

I do. Jodi street couture.

Shut up!

Get out of my world!

Talk to me.

I record everything. for the Sun-He nation.

I'm Sun-He, b-t-dubs

I'm Jodi.

What's the Sun-He Nation?

My fans.

I have 72.

Mostly relatives, but the nation is growing.

You have fans?

What do you do?

I sing, I dance,g. make people jealous.

Nobody move.

Ah!

Don't worry, I got this.

Whatever you're looking for--

You'll never find it!

Don't worry, I got your back.

I'm not hiding anything.

Exactly.

We're completely innocent.

Relax, ladies.

It's just a standard room check.

Oh, they do this in every dorm room?

Just the ones with the special students.

O-M-G this is because of Sun-He Nation?

Hastag blushing.

Hastag no. Hastag this is about your other roommate who's not here yet.

I don't get this whole hashtag thing.

Room clear.

Our roommate needs security?

I know.

She must be super famous!

Or bonkers.

That would def make us the coolest dorm room in school.

Animal shelter?

No, allergic to fur.

Florist!

No, allergic to pollen.

Babysitter?

No, allergic to babies.

Job hunting little freshman?

Um, I'm talking to you.

Oh.

I'm not really used to the whole girls talking to me thing.

Yeah, I'm looking for a job.

Well, there's one at the roller rink.

It's super cool.

And when Valerie says something is super cool,

most people can't even handle it.

That means it's too cool.

Wow!

Thanks!

No problem.

Jared Anderson, student body president.

This is our year.

Bye freshman.

I really need to learn how to walk like that.

Attention, assembly now in the auditorium.

You are students of

McKendrick Preparatory high school.

Where we have a history of excellence.

Go McKendrick Prep!

Woo!

Yeah!

Awesome cheer, Valerie.

And now, a word from the head of performing arts department.

Mr. Stark.

Theatre.

It mirrors the essence of who we are.

Makes the struggles, failures, and rejections of this life--

In a couple of weeks, I'll be announcing the school musical.

Everyone is encouraged to participate.

Great announcement to inform us about

a future announcement, Mr. Stark.

School musical?

I could be the lead.

We don't even know what show it is.

It doesn't matter.

You stand under a spotlight for two hours,

then everyone applauds for you.

It's what I was born to do.

In case you were wondering, freshman students

don't perform as leads in the school musical.

Ever.

Assembly over.

Good day.

No freshman leads?

Like I'm going to listen to a man that

has hair that looks like an old birds nest.

Everyone knows if you're going to rock the nest,

you have to go all out.

Duh!

You like my sound?

Your beats are sick.

Wait, not sick like my Nana's old cat Maurice.

No, the good sick.

Caleb Davis.

I'm Sun-He.

This is Jodi.

There she is!

Our mystery roommate!

Gotta go!

Got anymore of that good music?

I've got plenty!

Talking to girls isn't so hard.

Keeping them around, another story.

What kind of person has a security detail?

Maybe she's an undercover agent.

Or a spy!

Or an actor.

Delivery, ladies.

Watch out.

What is it?

The less I know, the less problems I have.

I don't want to know.

What are you doing?
