Best Friend – Ashley Hudson (Ash)
Kat walks into bedroom, locking the door behind her. She looks around the room before putting down her things. She walk up to the window, looks out it as if looking for something and then closes the curtains/blinds. She takes out her phone and quickly sends a text before walking out of the room. She comes back changed into pajamas and then turns off the light and lies in bed.
Pause, Rewind through that scene quickly
-Scene Change-
Shot of a sidewalk and the houses along it. Kat then runs in to the frame, glancing behind her as she does so. She trips and falls and then quickly looks around. She sees no one and takes deep breaths, trying to calm down. She stands back up and proceeds to walk in the direction she was running. She walks out of the frame.

-Scene Change-
Kat is talking on the phone just outside a door using dramatic hand gestures with her one free hand as she does so.
K – Where are you!
-
K – Really sick or you just didn’t finish your homework sick?
(sounds skeptical, puts hand on hip)
-
K – Oh…Well I’m really freaked out right now, I swear someone’s following me!
(hand on hip relaxes and goes straight)
-
K – No I’m not going crazy
-
K - YES! That’s what I’ve been saying, someone’s following me!
-
K – Yea…uh huh…okay…yea I’ll be careful. I’ll send you a text when I get home or something.
-
K – yea, later
Kat puts cell phone in pocket and proceeds to walk away from door

-Scene Change-
In a classroom someone (gender unidentifiable) is rummaging through a bag on a desk. Kat walks into the room head down muttering to herself .
K – Ash is right, I really am such a ditz.
Kat looks up and sees someone going through her bag and screams and backs up against wall. Person going through bag jumps a bit. Quickly they turn their head slightly, but not enough to reveal who they are and then run out the door. Kat puts her hand up to her chest to feel her hear beat. She then runs towards her bag, grabbing it and then running out the door but in the opposite direction from the person.

(early morning)
Kat walks over to a bench outside and sits down, taking out a book to read. She sees a shadow on the ground in front of her and turns around to see someone suddenly turning their head and walking away. She looks at the person for a while before turning back to her book.

-Scene Change-
Kat and Ash are sitting down and talking to each other in a classroom.
K – It can’t be just me, even I’m not this bad.
A – I don’t know Kat, this sounds like you’re just leaving your stuff all over the place.
K – But all those umbrellas, pens –
A – which you’ve been leaving around for the past 6 years
K – - pencils -
A – even worse than the pens
K - -NOTE BOOKS-
A – sigh Kat… (Kat tries to continue talking) KAT! you’re just really forgetful, you’ve been like this since I met you.
K – but I feel like someone’s following me, stalking me, I swear! I feel their eyes on my back!
A – Well, this is it; you’ve finally lost it.
K – lost what? A lot of stuff has gone missing over the past few weeks.
A – You’ve finally gone crazy is what!
K – Ashley! I’m serious.
A – Kat, I’m POSITIVE that you’re just imagining things. You’re obviously really stressed by your current workload and you’re tired. Just try and get some more sleep or something, okay?
K – yea, ok… I still think I’m being followed though!
Ashley sighs and grabs her bag and walks out the classroom door
K – Hey, don’t walk away when we-

-Scene Change-
Kat walks into the classroom and sees Ashley already there. She quickly drops her bag on the desk.
K – Morning Ash
A – Morning
Kat then starts looking through bag, trying to find something at the bottom. While Kat does this Ash stares at her. Kat looks up from her bag at Ash.
K – Do you have a pen I could borrow, I think I lost mine.
A – Sure.
Ashley leans down to her bag on the ground and pulls out a pencil that she hands to Kat.
K – Thanks!

-Scene Change-
Kat and Ash are walking back from school and are currently on a sidewalk. Kat seems to be talking to Ash who nods at the appropriate times, occasionally adding in one-word responses. This conversation can’t be clearly heard but it sounds like their talking about school and homework.
Ash pauses in front of a house and turns to Kat.
A – This is me, see you tomorrow.
K – Yea, see you tomorrow.
Ash walks up towards house.
-Scene Change-
Ash walks into her room and puts her bag on her bed. She pulls out some things (including a text book) and outs them on a desk. She opens a draw that’s full of random items, hair clips, hairbrushes, short notes, old jewelry, many pens and pencils, a few small notebooks etc. She picks up the book and puts it in the drawer. While doing this the name on the front of the book is visible and you see ‘Ashley Hudson, History’ written on it in bold letters. When the book is being placed in the drawer there will be a close-up of the drawer and you can see all the notebooks have ‘Ashley’ written on the front and all the notes are the same handwriting.
-Scene Change-
(current time)
A cell phone is visible and a text reading ‘made it –A’ is one the screen.
A shot of Ashley holding the cell phone and then looking upwards.
Shot of Kat from behind as she looks through a window at a sleeping figure in a bed (Kat)
