Fade In:

A wide shot of the school playground is shown of all students running around on a Monday afternoon and Billy (twelve) is seen walking around the schoolyard by himself.

Billy starts walking towards class but notices something in the corner of his eye. He slowly looked to his right to see a black figure standing there just looking towards his direction.

Billy looked very surprised and froze at what he’s just seeing. He closed his eyes and looked again but this black figure he’s just seen suddenly disappeared. Shocked and confused as he was, Billy didn’t get too carried away with it and tell everyone, but he decided to tell his teacher.

BillySir… Sir?

Mr JefferyHello Billy, what’s wrong?

BillySomething strange just appeared over the other side of

the yard but it suddenly just disappeared.

Mr JefferyWhat did this strange thing look like Billy?

BillyIt looked like a strange black figure over the other side of the yard. I don’t know if I’m just seeing things, but it did look like something and it was there for quite

sometime just looking in my direction.

Mr Jeffery begins to laugh

Mr Jeffery You’re just seeing things Billy, which seems oddly

strange and very creepy. Is this the first time you’ve saw this black figure or anything else in the past?

BillyNot in the school, but I feel like I’ve seen things in the past and I told my parents about this, but they’ve

said the same things in the past, but I’m sure I did see something and I thought I’d let you know.

Page 2: Short film script

Mr JefferyIf you keep seeing things than maybe it’s best to see a doctor Billy, because in a lot of cases, it looks like you could have a mental disorder such as schizophrenia.

BillyBut I’m completely normal sir.

Mr Jeffery It’s still best to check with your local GP, and tell

them everything that’s been going on.

BillyOk sir.

INT. BIRMINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL – NEXT DAY AFTERNOON (2 P.M.)

Billy is sat down with his classmates in maths.

Mr Jeffery is currently talking to the class whilst everyone is prepared to take a little test.

Billy was about to start his test until he saw something at the corner of his eye. He looked until he saw the same thing again about to attack one of his classmates. Billy then ran out of his chair to save his classmate and prevent this strange black figure that he seen the day before from touching him. Billy then dived into his classmate, both then fell to the floor, and the black figure suddenly disappeared. Everyone looked in confusion towards Billy.

JamesWhat was that for?

BillyThis strange black ghostly figure was about to attack

you, Didn’t you just see it!?

His classmate looked awfully confused at Billy

JamesYou’re crazy you know that?

BillyWhat? You was about to die, I just saved your life

The whole class started laughing at Billy, and Billy looked very embarrassed. Mr Jeffery asked him to stay behind after school.

INT. BIRMINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL – AFTERNOON (3 P.M)

The next hour, Billy was sat down waiting for Mr Jeffery to talk to him.

Mr JefferyBilly?

BillyYes sir?

Mr JefferyWhy did you do that? That behaviour is very unacceptable, and you should know better than to do silly things like that especially to one of your classmates. Were you

trying to be funny?

BillyNo sir, James was about to get attacked by the same black

ghostly figure I saw yesterday, I’m not bluffing sir, this black figure was about to attack him!

The teacher began laughing once again

Mr JefferyBilly, didn’t you listen to what I said yesterday? It

looks like you are obviously seeing things, and it’s best you see a GP. This needs to stop instantly because if

this carries on, you will turn mental.

BillyBut sir I’m completely normal, I don’t know how I’m the

only one seeing these things

Mr JefferyNo Billy, it’s just you, and this is why I told you to

see a doctor, because it looks like you have some type of mental disorder.

BillyBut sir…

Mr JefferyThat’s enough Billy, take what I’ve said on board, and

I’ll see you tomorrow

BillyOk sir.

INT. BIRMINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL – NEXT DAY AFTERNOON 12.00

Everyone was sat sown in class in Science until one of the other teachers stormed in questioning about other students going missing. Mr Jeffery was really confused, and didn’t know about any other students going missing.

Mr StuartsThis is really concerning, because we’ve never had so

many pupils that have un-attended school.

Mr JefferyThis seems very odd.

Billy was thinking to himself, and considered all the things he was seeing to be and a reason.

BillyWhat if it’s all the black ghostly figures I’ve been

seeing?

The whole class looked at Billy, and then started laughing.

Mr JefferyBilly, don’t be silly.

The class windows began to smash, and all the objects was getting thrown around the room, and started to smash. Everyone in the room looked confused and shocked to what just happened.

Mr StuartsWhat in the world just happened?

Mr Jeffery I have no ide…

BillyMr Jeffery, look out!

All of a sudden, Mr Jeffery was attacked by a black figure, which disappeared. Mr Jeffery fell to the ground, and the whole class started to panic including Mr Stuarts. Billy ran to the front of the class.

Page 5: Short film script

BillyListen everyone; sir was just attacked by one of these

strange black ghostly figures I’ve been seeing. You don’t have to believe me, but what I’m trying to tell you is that all these strange black ghostly figures I’ve been seeing is what just happened to sir. He was attacked by one of the ghosts I’ve been seeing, and the same thing could’ve happened to James the other day when I dived

into him.

JamesSo what happened to this crazy ‘black ghostly figure’

that you have been seeing? Is he still here?

BillyNo, he’s just disappeared.

JamesYou’re just trying to lie to us, and make us scared; do you really think we’d fall for something so stupid? Why are you trying to scare us Billy; sir must have just

fainted.

Mr Jeffery got up, and seemed fine, but little did they know that he’s been possessed, and one of these strange ghost figures entered into Mr Jeffery’s body.

JamesSee, sir’s fine, he just had a little accident; are you

okay sir?

Billy noticed that Mr Jeffery didn’t look the same, and Billy stepped back.

BillyEveryone run!

Everyone looked confusingly at Billy, and they didn’t believe what he was saying. Suddenly Mr Jeffery started charging towards Mr Stuarts, and possessed him. Everyone started to scream, and ran away.

BillyEveryone follow me, we need to get out of here before we

are all caught!

Everyone started to follow Billy, and they found themselves running into other students.

Page 6: Short film script

BillyHave you guys seen it too!?

Little did Billy, and everyone else know that the other students they just found were possessed as well. They started to charge towards them. Billy, and the others ran onto the yard to find them selves running into the whole school on the yard, which was possessed. Billy and James was the only ones left surviving, and tried to climb the school fence. Billy hopped over the fence, and James was climbing until a foot grabbed him.

James Help! They’ve got my foot!

BillyI’m trying my best to help pull you over the fence!

It was too late, and James was caught, and possessed. Billy ran away.
