(sarcastically) Oh sorry mate I didn’t see you there.
Bill
That’s ok, hi I’m Bill
Chuck
Yeah, shush I didn’t ask to start a conversation with you.
Turn around your little muppet.
Bill
Oh, ok I’m sorry I just wanted...
Henry
(interrupts Bill) SHUT UP alright I didn’t ask.
EXT: Chuck and Henry whisper to each other and make smug
faces.
CHUCK
Hey mate, yeah, could you get our ball? It's just over
there in a bush!
Bill
Alright yeah, I can get it for you!
Bill
Hello, let me help you cross the road.
Old Lady
Oh, thank you young man you're so thoughtful.
EXT: He helps her cross the road and holds her arm.
Old Lady
Thank you so much, nobody helps the elderly anymore.
Bill
It’s no problem, you’re welcome, have a good day (he then
turns around and walks in the opposite direction from her).
Mum
Hey darling, why aren’t you in school?
Bill
Oh well I made two good friends, and they lost their ball,
so I went to get it.
Mum
Oh well do you think it may have been a prank and they were
being mean to you, I just want you to be safe.
Bill
Well, if they are I don’t mind it must have been a joke but
don’t worry it was probably a one-time thing.
EXT: Bill goes outside and lies on the trampoline and just
closes his eyes and is stretched out (there is a drone shot
which zooms out and has the shot of Bill sleeping on the
trampoline).
Bill
Hi, I couldn’t find your ball by the way.
Henry
Yeah, cause there wasn’t one there you idiot.
Chuck
Hey, do you wanna play a game of truth or dare? You can go
first but we pick what you do, and you have to do a dare.
EXT: the two bullies walk towards a park, and they put
their arms around him to make sure he can’t run away.
Henry
Alright we dare you to run around that ring as fast as you
can until you fall!
Bill
But that’s going to hurt me won’t it, I don’t want to hurt
myself.
Henry
Yeah well, it’s a dare so you have to do it now.
EXT: Bill is sat on the floor injured and upset and gets up
and starts walking home.
INT: Bill comes home and goes straight to bed, and it cuts
from Bill walking into his house to then having it cut to
him walk into his room and he turns around to close his
door on us.
EXT: when we gets to the bus stop, he stands and waits for
the bus to get there until Chuck and Henry approach him
again.
Henry
Hey let us go in front of you yeah.
Bill
Well umm actually I would prefer it if you didn’t since
yesterday, I hurt my leg when I did the dare, so I would
love to have a seat.
Chuck
What do you think you’re doing mate? We’re going to go in
front of you whether you like it or not.
Bill
No please, I really need a seat!
EXT: Chuck then pushes Bill down on the ground and the two
boys go closer to him.
Chuck
You know what, you’ve lost your seat on the bus and now
can’t go on the bus.
EXT: the two boys pick Bill up and take him to a bush.
Harry punches him so hard that he knocks Bill out and they
leave him in a bush until he wakes up and goes home again.
INT: Bill walks home and there is a shot of him opening his
bedroom door and falling on his bed going to sleep with
dark lighting.
INT: (In the Morning) Bill goes downstairs and walks into
the back garden where his mum approaches him.
Mum
You didn’t have dinner last night, what happened.
Bill
I wasn’t hungry
Mum
What’s happened tell me what’s going on.
Bill
It’s those two boys again! Everything I do has no reward. I
tried my best to be nice and kind to everyone, all I wanted
was to make friends, but they bullied me instead and threw
me in a bush.
Mum
Well, they may be bullying you but don’t let that get
passed you, because your personality is so special because
bad things happen to you more than you realize, and you
don’t let it get passed you because you are so kind and
thoughtful, please don’t change that about yourself.
Remember, I love you.
Bill
Yeah, you're right.
INT: Bill falls on his bed while the camera stays above him
as he stares at the ceiling and talks to himself.
Bill
What’s the point of being nice to people when nobody
appreciates it.
I always try my best to make friends, I’m kind to literally
everyone! So why me why am I being bullied for doing good
things?
INT: Bill takes his dressing gown and takes out the robe
and holds it in both hands as if he is thinking of putting
it around his neck and he lifts it up and then puts it down
again but still has it in his hands. He then thinks about
what his mum said.
