INT. SCHOOL CANTEEN - DAY
In a school dining room a group of four boys sit and talk
about standard high school stuff.
RONNIE, The “main character” of the four.
RONNIE
So you guys heard the latest about
Mia?
Daniel, Ronnie’s best friend since primary school.
DANIEL
Last thing I heard was she got
kicked out for that drama with
Caleb.
Josh, the “Snaky one” likes to gossip and talk behind
peoples backs.
JOSH
Yeah but apparently he was the one
that started it over what she did
to Naomi on the ski trip. You were
there you saw it right?
Blake, the “quite one” who rarely speaks and doesn’t care
for most high school drama.
BLAKE
(head faced down)
Im not sure
JOSH
Bullshit you were in his room the
whole time no way you didn't whole
time!
RONNIE
(Laughing)
Maybe its just too big to share?
DANIEL
Yeah somethings aren't meant to be
heard by mortal men.

3. .2
JOSH
No come on you gotta tell us what
happened!
The group descends into a light hearted argument when
RONNIE notices Mia in the distance.
RONNIE
Woah what the hell is that her? She got kicked out!
DANIEL
Clearly someone must have made the
whole thing up
JOSH
Didn't she have a cast when she
left? You were in her class she
had a big cast on her leg didn't
she?
BLAKE
Im not sure
Its here where RONNIE notices a nasty wound on JOSH’s
hand.
RONNIE
Jesus christ how’d that happen?
JOSH
oh err just had a little accident
in the kitchen this morning. It
looks worse than it is trust me.
The school bell goes off signalling the end of lunch
JOSH
Anyway have fun writing your
10,000 word essay or whatever.
Come on lets go before the doors
close.

As everyone walks off the group of girls that Mia was
standing with all menacingly stare at them as they walk
away
DANIEL
Anybody else see that? No one?
Fine
INT. SIXTH FORM AREA - DAY
Ronnie and Daniel are discussing the strange stories
going at the school. A news report about meteors is
playing on television screens in the background.
DANIEL
You can see it too right?
RONNIE
You mean Blake and Natasha? oh
yeah they’re totally a thing i
don’t care what he say’s.
DANIEL
How do you think Josh’ll feel
about it? he’s had a crush on her
since like primary school.
Ronnie’s phone then starts to ring with Josh calling him
RONNIE
I don’t know lets ask him (answers
phone on speaker) yeah?
Josh and Blake are walking home
JOSH
Hey have you seen Ashley recently
a few of her friends have been
asking around?

5. .4
RONNIE
(confused)
Errrr not really not since last
week. Why has something happened?
JOSH
Im not sure her friends seemed -
Josh and Blake are then distracted by a bright flash of
light in the distance. The phone signal starts to break
down. The news report is turned up a little louder
RONNIE
(Over the phone)
Hey you still there whats going
on? Where are you?
They see another flash and slowly start to walk towards
the source of it. All the while Ronnie continues to check
if Josh’s still there. The two are lead to a large bush
and an unseen attacker pulls the two boys inside. The
phone then cuts off with the last thing heard being a
muffled scream.
INT - SCHOOL CANTEEN - DAY
It’s been one day since the last scene and they haven't
heard anything from Josh and Blake since. Ronnie and Josh
sit alone away from the everyone else.
DANIEL
You don’t know that! It’s probably
just one of Josh’s dumb pranks
he’s done stupid shit like this
before
RONNIE
Yeah maybe but I still don’t like
not knowing for sure.
Daniel suddenly looks a lot more energetic and points
towards Blake and Josh, who are walking towards them.
DANIEL
See I told you they’d be fine.
What the hell was that?

6. .5
Blake and Josh stare blankly at them both. The wound on
Josh’s hand has vanished.
DANIEL
Errr guy’s? Hey!
The two then seem to snap out of their stare and behave
more normal.
BLAKE
Oh yes sorry about that, we really
got you then didn’t we?
JOSH
(To Ronnie)
You ok man?
RONNIE
Oh yeah just, just glad to see
you’re ok.
Josh and Ronnie stare at each other both knowing that
something is wrong. Again the bell rings to break the two
up.
BLAKE
Right then I think you two should
get going shouldn’t you?
DANIEL
Yeah I guess, see you later
BLAKE/JOSH
(Both still sitting)
See you later
Everybody clears out of the canteen with the two
following behind slowly. They enter a small side room
where their eyes start to glow bright blue and a creepy
noise starts to play.

FADE TO BLACK
RONNIE’S HOUSE - INT - DAY
Two weeks have passed since the last scene. Ronnie has
grown paranoid and is sure that something has been doing
things to people. Daniel is more worried about his
friend’s behaviour.
RONNIE
It explains it though doesn't it!
The disappearances, reappearance,
the changes in behavio…
DANIEL
The only behaviour changes I’m
worried about are yours. You’re
not turning up at school, you’re
not talking to anyone
RONNIE
You were there when it started!
You saw them, Blake was like a
completely different person!
DANIEL
Yh well maybe he’s just happy
being with Natasha
RONNIE
Give me your hand!
DANIEL
What why?
Ronnie grabs Daniels hand and cuts it with a knife.
DANIEL
Arggggh what the hell are you
doing?
RONNIE
Its’ so that I know. When they
copy they do a perfect one. They
remove anything unique you see.
Josh’s cut. you know the cut he

8. .7
had on his hand? Poof vanished
over night. This way I’ll know.
I’ll know if they take you
DANIEL
And who even are they? You need to
stop this man you’re not well.
RONNIE
You’re lying if you haven’t
noticed anything strange! You were
there! You heard them on the phone
before, you heard them scream!
DANIEL
Ok fine look. We go back to school
tomorrow. We’ll have a look around
see what we find, if anything
stands out, we’ll notify the
police, if not then you drop this
obsession.
Daniel leaves Ronnie sitting alone in the dark.
INT. SCHOOL - DAY
The last scene is without dialogue with music instead.
Ronnie goes back to school the following day looking
nervous and untidy. Just as he enters a class he catches
the blue glow emanating from the room. Freaking out he
runs outside and see’s blue glows coming from every
window around him, turning off when he looks directly at
it. He falls to the floor and breaks down.
FADE TO BLACK
INT. CANTEEN - DAY
Ronnie re enters the school canteen. With no emotion he
sits next to his friends. He notices the mark on scratch
on Daniel has disappeared. The camera slowly pulls back
as the sequence ends.
