FADE IN:
INT. DARK ROOM- NIGHT
A door appears, in front of Denise (shown by POV), (non-diegetic)
Chants can be heard, repeating the phrase “Red Door, Yellow Door,
any other color Door”, each time getting louder and louder. The
camera pans around Denise showing her facial expressions and
surroundings and cuts to a black screen.
Fade:
Alarm Ringing (off screen), she slowly wakes up, going off screen
to turn it off.
Denise takes her time in getting ready for school as she is being
very lazy and slow. Stuffing her mouth with sugar coated
breakfast, as the camera pans her. Montage sequence.
Cut:
Establishing shot of school, with a non-diegetic school bell
ringing, she finally arrives at school and sits in her seat for
class.

The bullies walk into class, starting off with a POV shot,
touching Denise’s hijab. Denise slightly flinches. Bullies giggle
with her friend and sit behind her. They talk behind her back and
secretly place a fake spider on Denise’s shoulder.

Denise slowly notices something on her shoulder and realizes,

resulting in a hysterical SCREAM.

Denise jumps up to get the spider off her. While still screaming
in front of the entire class, the teacher walks in silently.

the teacher writing on the board, below “Detention” he writes
Denise's name.
