Fade In:

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

JamesHello Dimwait

BillyBe quiet James

JamesOr what?

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.

BillyDid you see that?

JamesSee what?

BillyThat black figure just following us

James started to laugh

JamesYou trying to scare me or something? Don’t make me have

to beat you up again.

BillyNo I’m being serious

JamesWhatever

James walked off

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.

Mr JefferyIf you keep seeing things than maybe, it’s best to see a

doctor Billy or speak to your parents.

BillyBut I’m completely normal sir.

Mr JefferyI know Billy, now off you go, it’s getting late, and your

parents will be wondering where you are.

BillyOk Bye Sir.

Billy made his way home, whilst he felt like something was following him, nothing was there.

Billy entered his home, and conversated with his mother.

Page 3: Short film script

BillyMom, I’m not going crazy or anything, but I’m seeing things around school again, and this time it appears

worse then before. I thought I seen something else when I was walking home, and I had a chat with Mr Jeffery about

the situation, and that’s why I came back late.

Billy’s MomI told you Billy there isn’t such a thing, you’re mind is

playing tricks on you again.

BillyI don’t think my minds playing tricks on me, because it wouldn’t keep happening, and this time, it appears worse

than before

Billy’s MomBilly, just remember you suffer from a condition called schizophrenia, which means you are just seeing things, and if it’s carrying on then that means we will have to take you to see someone again, because this is serious.

BillyBut what if the school is just haunted, and only I’m

seeing these ghosts which no-one else is seeing?

Billy’s MomDon’t be silly billy, now off you go to bed, it’s getting

late, and you don’t want to be late for school.

BillyOk Mom, good night.

Billy’s MomGood night.

Billy entered his bed, and fell asleep

INT. BIRMINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL – 2 DAYS LATER

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

Page 4: Short film script

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 Jeffery

Page 5: Short film script

Billy, didn’t you listen to what I said yesterday? You must be seeing things Billy, because ghosts don’t exist.

BillyDidn’t you just see that?

Mr JefferySee what?

BillyThere… It’s standing right beside you, and me… Don’t move

sir

Everyone in the class look confused, and started laughing at how stupid Billy looked.

Mr JefferyI have no idea what you are talking about.

BillyLook to the corner of your eye…

Mr Jeffery performed this action, and suddenly froze. All the class stared at Mr Jeffery incredibly confused

StudentSir are you okay?

JamesI think Sirs getting in on the act now

The whole class started laughing again until one student called Thomas froze just like Mr Jeffery.

JamesHuh Thomas too? What are you guys playing at?

BillyNo-ones playing around James, I knew this school was haunted, and now they are going to the next level and

possessing everyone whom they see we need to get out here everyone.

JamesYou’re such a loser, I can’t believe you actually think all this is happening. You need to get a life; can’t you

see they’re doing this on purpose?

One student began screaming, and other students in the class suddenly passed out.

James

Page 6: Short film script

What on earth is going on?

Mr Jeffery, and the other students who were suddenly possessed slowly started walking towards Billy, James, and the other students who were unpossessed

Billy Everyone follow me!

Billy, James, and the other students ran around the school trying to inform other students.

Every student they’d find, and teacher was suddenly possessed, and couldn’t do anything.

JamesThis is crazy.

BillyI told you I wasn’t just seeing things, I was right all

along.

JamesShut up man, this doesn’t change my opinion on you, you

know that?

Other students following them also got possessed, and started following both James, and Billy.

BillyOh no they’ve been caught too, we need to quickly run to

the principles office.

Billy, and James stormed into the principles office. The principle was turned around facing the other way curiously.

PrincipleManners?

BillySorry principle but there has been something really crazy

happening and…

PrincipleDon’t worry, I know.

JamesSo how are we going to solve this? They’re all heading

towards us now.

Page 7: Short film script

PrincipleI know, we are coming for you!

Principle turned around with glowing red eyes with a evil look towards Billy, and James.

BillyOh no the principle as well!

PrincipleHahahaha!

BillyWhat’s the meaning of all this?

PrincipleYou see, we’ve been wanting to get you all this time, and

this is the reason why the school is haunted because we’ve waited for this moment for a long time, and we are

finally going to kill you.

Billy Let’s run!

Billy, and James ran out of the school until James’ foot got caught.

JamesBilly help!

BillyHold on!

Billy grabbed onto James until James started to laugh evilly. Billy let go and escaped

JamesThis isn’t the end Billy, if you ever come here again,

that’s it!

Everyone in the school laughed evilly.
