FADE IN:

Amy, wake up. Wake up Amy!
(MCU) Amy on the floor.
AMY
What... what happened? Where am I?
(MS) Adam begins to help Amy off of the ground.
ADAM
I dunno. We’re in some forest. I followed you here from the party after you just decided to wander off and next thing I knew you’d passed out on the ground.
AMY
(Confused)
The party?
Adam
(Laughing)
Blimey, you must have been really drunk if you don’t even remember going!
(Gestures to empty bottles on the ground)
AMY
Oh... right.
ADAM
Come on then, we best get you home.

EXT. LOCATION #2 - EVENING
Adam is walking Amy home and they are nearly at her house. (MS) as the two characters are having a conversation.
AMY
So, what party were we even at?
ADAM
Jamie’s? I can’t believe you don’t remember any of it! Are you feeling alright now?
AMY
Yeah, yeah I feel fine now. It’s really weird. I... I just don’t remember a thing. I don’t even feel hung-over, either. I just have a bit of a headache.
ADAM
(Begins to laugh)
Well that’s probably where you managed to knock yourself out on the floor.
The characters arrive at Amy’s front door. She goes to opens it and steps inside. (LS, OTS) of Amy standing in the doorway.
AMY
Thank you, Adam. If it wasn’t for you I’d probably still be lying in the middle of that forest with God knows what else in there.

ADAM
Don’t mention it Ames.
Adam raises his hand in mock salute and walks off down the road. Camera changes to (MS) showing Amy waving goodbye and shutting the door.

She turns over and goes to sleep.

(LS) Amy is walking into school. She brings out her phone. (CU) It is shown that she is calling Katie. (MCU) Amy holds the phone to her ear and after a few seconds takes it away from her face as Katie has not answered. Looking up, she notices Adam standing in school with a group of other friends. She approaches them and Adam looks up and waves. The others leave as Amy gets closer to him.
ADAM
(Jokingly)
Hey! How are you feeling this morning?
AMY
(Lightly punches him on the arm)
Shut up. Just a bit tired, really. Have you seen Katie today?
ADAM
Can’t say I have, Ames. Come on though, we’re gonna be late for class.
AMY
I’m meant to meet her though, I always do. But she’s not answering her phone.
ADAM
Aw, come on. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. She probably just slept through her alarm. You know what Katie’s like. Come on, we’re gonna be late and you don’t want to upset Mr Jarvis do you?
Adam turns and walks towards the door. Amy turns and scans the area one last time for her friend before following him.
