INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Black, well-polished shoes move through the corridor. Each step resounds with firm clarity.
We move upwards, revealing the owner of the shoes. TANIA GROVES (17). Her glossy hair is pulled in a strict ponytail, not a single hair out of place. A blazer, embroidered with a logo of a lion, rests on her shoulders A dangerous smirk plays in the corners of her lips.
Her eyes land on a boy in the far corner. CONNER MARTIN (17), half hidden behind his open locker door. A large leather jacket swallows his thin form. His eyes widen in horror as he spots Tania approaching from behind his locker door.
He ducks down and attempts to move away, but Tania has already arrived. One perfectly manicured hand slams his locker shut.
TANIA
The maths work due today. I want your extra copy.
CONNER
Why? Your parents not happy with your failing grades so you had to come to me?
TANIA
I don't want your psychoanalysis, just your paper. Or do you want the faculty to know what you were really doing in the woods this morning?
CONNER
How do you know that? How do you even know I have an extra copy?
TANIA
Please. You're both paranoid and predictable. So. The paper?
Conner hands over the paper. Tania smiles, gleaming white teeth as sharp as a sharks.
TANIA
Good doing business with you. See you around.
Tania walks off, shoulder clipping Conner's. His bag slips off and falls to the floor.
He sighs, tiredness filling his breath, and grabs his bag. The bell rings and the corridor empties, Conner left alone by his locker.

Some More Ideas The ghost of a murdered girl comes back to the past to a loner boy to ask for help saving her life.  Two inquisitive girls go to investigate the rumour of a dead body in the woods.  A teenage Cassandra foretells a terrible event, which her sole believer has to try and stop.  A murderer has to try and deal with the fallout after one of their victims is found alive. (Twist maybe, not realising mc is the murderer until the end).  Teen girl fights back against school’s implementation of a nationwide rule that all women can only speak up to 100 words a day. (Inspired by “Vox”).

Final Draft of Screenplay

Written in Freescreenwriting.com INT. CLASSROOM - DAY A pen scrawls on paper. We move up to a girl (CASSIE). She is small and mousy, not seeming to fill the space she exists in. She sits pulled into herself, arm cramped into her side as she writes. She pauses, and looks out to the side, caught by something unseen. From her perspective, a shadow slips out through the window of the door. Looking through the window, she gets up, moves towards the door. Steps into an empty corridor and looks around. There's nothing, not even a sound. Pulling out a notebook, she scribbles something down. She reenters the classroom, a quick apology. We stay in the corridor, empty and quiet. INT. KITCHEN - DAY Cassie pulls out a huge chest, covered with dust. A thick padlock weighs it down. She places a key into the lock, and is about to turn it, when she pauses. On the wall, a photograph of her, SALLY (17) and a third girl, TALIA (17). They look happy, the dictionary definition of close...
