Trip's popularity with girls was so unrealistic

The hallway scene... that would never happen even if you're the best looking & most charismatic guy in school.  Most would just mind their own business & not give a damn.

Women writing his papers... doesn't happen either. Best case scenario is that they would let you copy some of their answers from a quiz.

dude. you obviously did not see hartnett in penny dreadful. girls would drop their panties for THAT dude straight out in the street. his haircut may seem doofy to us now, but then, that was the thing.

Girls wrote my brothers papers all through high school.

I don't need ANY of you. I can go back to the Mommie Dearest board at ANY time! Just know THAT!

No, it was realistic especially for teenage girls having a crush. Look how girls respond to One Direction and Justin Bieber; that's pretty much the same thing, different generation.

Those are celebrities, you dingbat. Trip is meant to be a regular guy with no fame.

Realistic or not, I absolutely LOVED Trip's introduction!
