5. The Uninvited

Complete story — includes the ending

Everyone at John Adams High is highly anticipating popular-girl Melissa's party. Though, everyone desires to get invited to her exclusive-party, few actually get the privilege. Among those is Cory who, after seeing several people get rejected, has low hopes for himself. Much to his surprise, however, Melissa hands him an invitation to her party. More surprising is that Shawn, who is clearly more well-known and popular than Cory, was not invited, and after talking with Melissa, Cory finds out that not inviting Shawn was intentional. In the moment, Cory feels cool slick and decides to go to the party even though Shawn is clearly bothered. Upon his arrival to the party, it is unraveled that it is a "geek party." Melissa explains to Cory that all of the cool guys that she invited were not approved by her parents, causing her girlfriends not show up, and eventually the rest of the student body. Cory seems puzzled, but Melissa tells him that parents love him, much to his annoyance and horror. A fellow student arrives and invites Melissa to a "cool party," and she ditches Cory and her own party. Cory decides to leave and goes to Chubbie's and runs into Mr. Turner, who in turn explains to Cory the true meaning of friendship. Cory sees Shawn in the midst of the popular crowd and after seeing his best friend, too, Shawn decides to leave the party. The duo leave and ditch the party saying that it will always be "Cory and Shawn." Meanwhile, Alan mildly throws his back, but pretends to be ill in order to get Amy's attention and sympathy. In the post-credits, Amy shows Alan her recently purchased lingerie outfit, causing Alan to blow off his charade and go upstairs to their bedroom.
