Begins with Alex lying down on the grass face up, his eyes are closed. He
opens his eyes and looks up and see’s a figure looking down on him. The
camera then moves slowly to see the bully’s chest with blood all over his
shirt, the bully collapses next to Alex. Alex passes out. Screen goes black

Next shot is the view of a ceiling in a long corridor with strip lighting flying
past. Shot switches back to Alex who is on a hospital trolley being
transferred to a emergency ward. He passes out again.
Goes back 24 hours. Alex is sitting outside on his own flicking through his
school notebook, you can see messages like ‘’why won’t they leave me
alone?’’ and ‘’I just want it to end’’. Alex then looks in his bag and strokes
the blade of a knife he has stashed in his bag. The school bell rings and the
bully emerges from the school, Alex tries to run away but the bully catches
him, the bully torments Alex, Alex gets close to tears and bulls the knife,
goes to strike the bully with it.
