FADE IN: A dark, ominous hallway in a high school. The camera slowly moves down the
hallway, showing the lockers, the graffiti on the walls, and the dimly-lit fluorescent lights. The
sounds of students laughing and talking can be heard in the background. Some where staring at
the newbie and others were murmuring about her physical appearance.
NARRATOR (V.O.): High school can be a scary place for anyone, but it's especially frightening
for those who are bullied just because of their appearance that looks unappealing to someone
who has a lavish lifestyle, in our society nowadays. Rich students often have access to better
resources, such as private tutors, expensive educational programs, and high-quality learning
materials. This gives them an advantage in their education and can help them perform better
academically.
FADE IN: A teenage girl, LILY, is sitting alone at a lunch table. She's wearing clothes that are
too big for her, and she's staring down at her tray of food, looking sad and dejected. Suddenly, a
group of girls, led by the school's most popular student, JESSICA, approach her.
JESSICA: Hey, loser. What are you doing sitting here all alone?
JESSICA: (mocking) Aw, poor little Lily. Do you even have any friends?
JESSICA: (smirking) Well, it's because you're poor and pathetic. No one wants to be friends
with someone like you.
SCENE 2: *FLASHBACK TO LILY'S LIFE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL (showcasing their house and
family)
FADE OUT: *The scene fades to black, and then we see a flashback to Lily's life outside of
school. We see her living in a small, run-down apartment with her single mother, who works long
hours at a minimum-wage job just to make ends meet. We see Lily helping her mother with the
bills and struggling to find enough money to buy food.
NARRATOR (V.O.): Lily's life outside of school is a constant struggle. Her family lives in poverty,
and her mother works long hours just to make ends meet.
SCENE 3: BULLY'S LIFE
FADE IN: We see a new character, BRIAN, who is the bully that torments Lily. We see him at
home, living in a wealthy family with all the luxuries and comforts that money can buy. However,
we also see his parents constantly fighting, arguing over money and other issues. We see
Brian's insecurity and anger towards his parents.
NARRATOR (V.O.): Brian's life at home is far from perfect, despite all the wealth and luxury. His
parents constantly fight, and he's left feeling angry and insecure.
FADE IN: Lily is walking home from school alone, and Brian suddenly appears from behind her,
holding a knife.
BRIAN: (angrily) You think you're better than me, don't you? Just because you're poor, you think
you can get away with anything.
BRIAN: (advancing towards her) You deserve to be punished for being so pathetic.
Suddenly, a strange, supernatural force intervenes. We see shadows moving in the background,
and strange whispers can be heard.
LILY: (also scared) I don't know, but I think we need to get out of here.
The camera shows them running down the dark, creepy street, with the shadows and whispers
still following them.
FADE IN: Lily and Brian are back at school, in the hallway where they first met.
BRIAN: (apologetic) I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to scare you like that.
