Draft Synopsis
1. Synopsis
The main characters include a male and a female: both characters being a part of the
‘popular’ group. The popular girl flirts with him a lot and because of a big ego, believes
that he ‘obviously’ likes her back. The girl sees him at a coffee shop and finds out that
he has been stood up on a date. Because of her big ego, she believes that he’s staged
the whole thing to get her attention so she goes over to him and starts a conversation
and flirts with him. Out of politeness, he buys her a drink but she thinks it’s him flirting
back. The next day in front of their friends she is flirting with him more than usual and
acting like she thinks she’s his girlfriend. He asks to talk to her in private and explains
that he’s uncomfortable so she reveals that she knows he ‘staged’ being stood up just to
get her attention and that he’s in love with her. He denies it all and tells her to leave him
alone from now on and walks away, leaving her angry because no one has ever rejected
her before. Everything for him goes ‘back to normal’ but that evening on his way to
work he gets a phone call from an anonymous number but instead of speaking there is a
song being played down the line. He thinks it’s either spam or a prank call so he ends it
and forgets about it. He also receives notes in his locker from an anonymous person and
a picture of himself. On his way to work again that night he gets a phone call which is
the same as the first one but he still believes it’s just a prank from his friends. That night
at work he’s asked to lock up. Just before he’s about to leave the stereo turns on,
playing a random song. He can’t find the remote for the stereo so he goes to the
cupboard where the system is run from to turn the whole thing off manually but as he’s
about to, the song changes to the one he’d been hearing through the phone calls,
leaving him confused and a little unnerved. He walks out of the room to see all of the
lights off apart from one at the opposite end of the room where she is standing under it
and one above where he is standing. As she starts walking towards him, the song’s
chorus starts over and by the time she reaches him, she pauses the music and whispers
the last line of the chorus in a monotone. The whole screen then just goes back and the
credits roll. Depending on the run time, there may be a short after scene of a news
report about the discovery of his body the next morning.
