"All your scandalous adventures are out Lyle! What are your
parents gonna say??"
LYLE

MR.RUBINOFF
(disappointed)
Im very disappointed in
you, Lyle. Whatever youre

expulsion. Or land you in
jail. Im afraid youll be
getting detention every
day during lunch time
until next week.
Dismissed. I also will be
notifying your parents

LYLE(O.S)
(Furious)
This is ridiculous! How

Kelly coming towards the washroom.
LYLE (O.S)

I dont want any trouble. I better

Lyle goes into the staff changing rooms and hides by the
small corner next to the flap-doors.
KELLY
(Trying to calm, huffing/gasping/mascara
running)
Just calm down Kelly. Whoo! Its
cool... just count to three. She
would never do that to me.
Another GIRL walks into the bathroom boringly looks around
the bathroom.
GIRL
(Calm)
Omg Kelly.
KELLY
(Yelling)
Just tell me the truth Megan.
Her hands are pressed against the sink, her knuckles are
going pale white. Kelly looks like she is going to kill
Megan.

Lyle peeks through the flap door to see whats going on.
She sees MEGAN, red-haired girl, wearing a denim jacket and
a beanie, who gets pushed out of the bathroom.
MEGAN
(Yelling)
Yes! Your so called love of your
life was a big fat loser and a liar,
because as the whole city now knows
what he does and has done, you are
the joke they pass around at the bar
and laugh at.

Kelly pushes Megan against the wall with her pistol.

MEGAN

Hey man, put that thing down.
Whered you get that?
KELLY
(Shouting)
Shut the hell up!
MEGAN
(Terrified)

Megan pushes Kelly, Kelly pulls the trigger and Lyle jumps
and yells.

INT. DIGITAL DESIGN CLASSROOM, SCHOOL - DAY

Mr.Rubinoff is talking to class while Lyle is freaked out
and confused of what just happened.
MR.RUBINOFF
So class, today we will
learn how to use this
incredible software called
Photocrop. Has anyone
heard about this --

LYLE (O.S)
(Confused)
Whoa, what the heck? Why
am I back in class? I was
in the locker room... and
Kelly shot the Megan
girl... I already listened
to his lecture about
selection tools before.

KELLY
LYLE(O.S)
(Proudly)
(Confused)
Yes Mr.Rubinoff.
Kelly interrupts him from

LYLE (O.S)

before he says anything
MR.RUBINOFF
Lyle! Since clearly want to join this
class conversation, could you tell us

Uh... Lasso tool lets us draw
freehand selections around objects
as if we were outlining them on

Very good, Lyle. As Lyle

LYLE TAKES A DEEP RELIEF

LYLE (O.S)
Oh my gosh, this cannot be
real! Umm... as I remember
Mr.Rubinoff is explaining
about the lasso tool, and
right about now Kelly
throws a paper ball at me.
If she does, I better
catch that and not let it
roll under Mr.rubinoffs
foot.

Expectedly, Kelly throws a paper ball to Lyle and she

catches it with both hands. As she does, her phone drops
and the screen cracks. (scrunches face when the phone hits
the floor)
LYLE (O.S)
(angry)
Shit! I cannot believe this
would happen!
MR.RUBINOFF (looks back from writing
something on the board)
Whats going on back there?
LYLE (scared, worried, frightened)
Sorry Mr. Rubinoff, I accidentally
dropped my phone.
MR.RUBINOFF Well, be
careful Lyle and dont disrupt
my class again.
LYLE(O.S)
Okay, if Im crazy, I might as well
just go back to see if I can fix my
phone... Can I actually reverse
time? Or am I just dreaming?
Lyle pinches herself to check.

explained, Lasso tools

LYLE (O.S)
(Looking at her phone)

Lyle DO NOT freak out!

Lyle places her phone on the desk and Kelly throws a paper
ball at Lyle and she catches it again.
LYLE (O.S)
(Curious)
So ignorant... What if Megan isnt
dead yet? Can I save her? I gotta
go to the locker room quickly and
check
Lyle raises her hand to ask a question.
MR.RUBINOFF

Yes, Lyle.
LYLE

BELL RINGS
LYLE
I need to replay this whole thing
out. After the bell rings, I come
here to wash my face, Kelly comes
in and then Megan comes in after.
What should I do to stop her from
shooting? Lock the entrance? I
cant do that. Try to stop her
physically? No way. Think Lyle
think!
Lyle walks around the washroom groaning because she doesnt
know what to do to stop Kelly.
LYLE
(Panicking/Sweating?)
Lyle, you dont have much time now!
The school bell rings and Lyle decides to hide beside the
shower room door entrance.
LYLE (O.S)(bites lips nervously)
In any moment now, Kelly will walk
in.
Kelly bashes in through the door.
KELLY
LYLE (O.S)

Megan gives a hard shove to Megan, and runs out of the
bathroom and Kelly runs out afterwards. Lyle collapses on
the floor.
She curls up by the corner
