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.

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.

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 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? 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.

Mr JefferyI have no idea what you are talking about.

BillyLook to the corner of your eye…

Mr Jeffery performed this action, and noticed what Billy was talking about; Billy then began to laugh evilly.
