FADE IN INT. MAIN EXITS OF SCHOOL BUILDING EVENING

A few short consecutive shots of the caretakers hand locking all the doors to the main exits. INT. CLASSROOM EVENING

ESTHER(16) is fully focused on her work with her head down. She looks towards the ceiling in deep thought, and then she has an epiphany then return to her work with her head down. DAMI(18), breaking her concentration, feels tired and looks up towards the clock. DAMI (Shocked) Is that the time? ESTHER! The school is about to close! WE NEEDTO GO! ESTHER pulls a straight face at DAMI, and then kisses her teeth with annoyance. INT. CORRIDOOR EVENING

ESTHER and DAMI are walking down the corridor in silence. ESTHER realises that she left her folder in the classroom. ESTHER Wait a minute, I think Ive left my folder. ESTHER and DAMI both walk back. ESTHER enters classroom while DAMI waits by the door. INT. CLASSROOM EVENING

ESTHER looks around for her folder and when she finds it she leaves the classroom. INT. CORRIDOOR EVENING

ESTHER realises that DAMI has vanished and then sees her belt on the floor. ESTHER goes to pick up the belt. Meanwhile from a Page 2

distance, the SPIRIT(16) is standing with her head down and teleports closer to ESTHER and reaches to grab her. ESTHER the falls hard on the floor, then immediately gets up and runs in the opposite direction, having left DAMIs belt behind but still has a firm grip on her bag and folders, whilst looking back every now and again. ESTHER reaches the end of the corridor near some double doors and is now flat against the wall in complete fear. Unexpectedly a hand grabs her shoulder. ESTHER reacts with a punch towards the suspect. ESTHER immediately drops DAMIs bag but keeps hold of her folder and then runs down the corridor whilst looking back every now and again. ESTHER reaches the end of the corridor near some double doors and has her back to the wall in fear. Unexpectedly a hand grabs her shoulder. ESTHER reacts with a punch towards the suspect. JONAS(16) head forced back while hands reach for nearest wall to maintain balance. JONAS (In pain) Wow wow wowwhat was that for! ESTHER (Apologetically) Im sorry But listen, theres something over there! JONAS (Confused) Wh-what you talkiESTHER (More aggression) -Theres something over there! JONAS (Still in disbelief but reassures ESTHER) Alright, alright, alright. Ive got this! Just take a step, ok, Ill be back!

ESTHER thinks to herself, NO, you havent and she makes this obvious through her facial expression. JONAS goes round the corner. ESTHER cannot believe whats going on and slowly walks towards the lockers and leans onto it in fear. Shortly after, the SPIRIT appears around the corner, dragging JONAS jacket, whilst starring at ESTHER. The SPIRIT leaps onto the ceiling and crawls at a tremendous speed towards ESTHER. ESTHER is traumatised and runs away fiercely down the corridor. Blackout.
