INT. SCHOOL EXAM HALL MORNING, DAY ONE

Toby is sitting an exam in the hall, surrounded by other students sitting the same

exam. He feels as if everyone is watching him, although, in reality; they arent. He

lashes out and throws his exam table out of the way, before storming out.

Feeling upset; Toby walks into the toilets to isolate himself from everyone, but

becomes so upset that he breaks down in tears.
