At Bolton Private University, Jemima is the undisputed queen bee. With her striking looks, confident demeanor, and a cheerleading squad that follows her every command, she’s used to having the spotlight all to herself. Her boyfriend, Kaden, is equally admired and adored, making them the ultimate power couple.

But Jemima’s world is turned upside down when Alexa, a sweet and charming new student, arrives on campus. Instantly capturing the hearts of everyone, including Kaden, Alexa’s presence threatens Jemima’s carefully cultivated status. What starts as a subtle shift in attention quickly escalates into a full-blown rivalry as Jemima’s efforts to reclaim her throne lead to a series of comedic and chaotic attempts to undermine Alexa.

As Jemima’s plans become increasingly outrageous and her own relationships become tangled, she finds herself questioning her priorities.

With the support of her loyal but clueless minions, Zoe and Vanessa, Jemima navigates the highs and lows of college life, love, and self-discovery. As she grapples with her own insecurities and the impact of her actions on those around her, Jemima must confront what it truly means to be on top and whether it’s worth sacrificing genuine connections for superficial glory.

In "Pretty Mean," laughter, romance, and self-reflection collide in a tale of redemption, friendship, and finding your true place in the world.

Pretty Mean

The jingle of the front doorbell sliced through the tension like a blade- just as they were about to follow Nathan to find the back door. 


Kaden froze mid-step, Alexa let out a breathy squeak as she plopped back into her seat, and Nathan- well, he turned toward the entrance with the slow, satisfied smirk of a man who’d just lit a fuse and stepped back to watch the fireworks. 


Jemima in a tiny black denim mini skirt with matching black thigh-high designer leather boots, and a deep purple cropped halter top, her blonde braids were in a high bun above her head, showing off her flawless makeup thanks to Vanessa- the girl was a magician with makeup brushes and lipstick. 


To her right was Vanessa, in a soft pink mini dress with thin straps, sandal high heels on her feet showing off her white painted toe nails, and her normally curly hair was straightened, falling in silky blonde and brown strands down to her back.
