WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

INT. OLD HIGH SCHOOL SUPPLY ROOM FILLED WITH JUNK—EVENING

The camera moves in on MS.
DUNN’s face. RACHEL DUNN, high school humanities teacher, is a tall,
thin woman in her early twenties. She
has a pretty face and long auburn hair.

MS. DUNN rummages through boxes
and crates. She gathers supplies for the school year, to supplement what she’s already bought with her own money. She senses something behind her and turns around. Nobody’s there.

MS. DUNN
(looks around the room and calls out)Can I help you? Is anyone there?

A dark figure appears from the shadows. It could be a man or woman; we don’t see the figure’s face.

MS. DUNN CONT.
(exhales, relieved that she
recognizes the person)
Oh, it’s just you. You scared me for a minute. Why are you here? I thought I made myself perfectly clear in the classroom. I’m not changing my mind. It’s over. Done.

There is a long period of silence. MS. DUNN fidgets but holds her ground.
We see her clench her hands when
they start to shake.

The dark figure storms off.

MS. DUNN turns around to face the table behind her. She braces her arms on the table and takes a few deep breaths before going back to her supplies. She laughs to herself and shakes her head.

CUT TO:

DARK FIGURE

The camera moves in on the dark figure’s black shoes. The person walks through an empty hallway and slowly returns to the supply room. We see the figure stop at a shelf full of supplies. The person grabs something from the shelf with a gloved hand. We don’t see what it is. The camera moves back to the black shoes. They keep walking.
