Scene 1
Bedroom - Day (Mater Dei Hotel)

Mirror shot, Alison is seen putting red lipstick, and applying very bold
and red makeup.

Alison VOICEOVER
Red, the color of power, the representation of boldness, the
amalgamation of both intimidation and dominance. ( pause )
I’ve always admired how it looked on my lips, the very same
lips that made these boys fall in love with me.

While applying eye makeup her phone constantly rings due to

notification.

Alison VOICEOVER
They say that the eyes are the window to a man’s soul. But
if you’re asking me, it’s the gateway to their pockets.
Please their eyes and you have their wallets, credit cards,
and bank accounts at your disposal.

She finishes her make up, lifts her phone and takes selfies

Alison VOICEOVER
After all money is power ,the only reason I mingle with
these “men” is that they’re foolish enough to spend their
life savings just to get near me. After all, I’m Alison
Margaret, the girlfriend of your dreams.

Scene 2

Montage Scene - Day

Hallway - Day

Alison is seen walking down the hallway with boys and gossipers looking
at her way
(CAMERA PANS IN FRONT OF ALISON TO FOLLOW HER WALKING IN THE HALLWAY. AS SHE WALKS THE
CAMERA REVEALS THE BOYS THAT CALL AT HER AND THE GOSSIPERS THAT TALK ABOUT HER.)

Alison VOICEOVER
People tend to give a lot of attention and time to clean
their reputation. As far as I’m concerned, my reputation is
not that clean, but what can I do? I mean, should I do
something about it ? These jealous wannabes have tried to
compare myself to themselves. Like cockroaches dreaming one
day to become butterflies. ( small laugh)

Mater Dei Main Hall Lobby - Day

Alison is seen being escorted by one of her sugar daddies to a car. Her
sugar daddy gives her gifts and flowers.

(CAMERA SHOWS HER WALKING OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL LOBBY. Cut to: HER SUGAR DADDY FOLLOWING UP
TOWARDS HER WITH AN UMBRELLA. Cut to: HIS SUGAR DADDY GIVING HER GIFTS ON THE FRONT OF A
CAR DOOR)

Alison VOICEOVER
Boys are cute, when they crave for your attention. The look
on their faces, thinking that they own you. Please
( laughs ). But they’re the cutest when they splurge their
money to impress you. I love this feeling of expensiveness
and dominance.

Lockers - DAY

Alison is seen with a boy on a locker, they make eye to eye contact. The
tension between the two rises but Alison clearly shows discontent.

(CAMERA SHOWS HER AND HER BOYTOY ON A LOCKER SETTING SIDEVIEW. Cut to: POV OF THE BOY
SHOWING ALISON BEING EMOTIONLESS. Cut to: BACK TO THE SIDE VIEW OF THE TWO. THE BOY HAS
ONE HAND PINNED AGAINST THE LOCKERS

Alison VOICEOVER
The look on their eyes, how gullible. Its funny to me that
they think they’re special. Been there experienced that.
Nothing new, nothing special. Another name added to my
longlist of ex lovers.

( end of scene 2 )

Scene 3
Hallway - Day

Alison saw Sean at the other end of the hallway, she feels something
different about this boy. She stares willingly as if expecting something
to happen.
(CAMERA SHOWS ALISON FIRST, ALISON WALKS INTO FRAME. SHE STARTS OF WITH HER PHONE AND
STUMBLES TO A STOP WHILE LOOKING AT SEAN. Cut to: SEAN FIXING HIS HAIR WHILE POSING TO
LOOK GOOD FOR ALISON. CAMERA ONLY SHOWS THEIR UPPER BODIES.)

Alison VOICEOVER
Then one day, I saw this boy. Don’t know whats up with him,
but unlike all those boys that I have played over with. He
gives me a different vibe. I mean after all he’ll become my
another ex. It’s worth the try.

(Camera is steady, Alison and Sean is seen walking with their hands intertwined, Alison
catches bits of glimpses towards Sean.)

Scene 4
Cafeteria - DAY

Alison is seen in the cafeteria, seated and chatting with her friend.
They talk and talk until her friend opens up something.

(Camera is steady, showing Alison and her friend in the cafeteria as people move about
surrounding them)

Kris (Distressed)
Parang ganun nalang, ewan ko. May kulang ba sa akin? Para
iwan niya ako. Alison tell me, I don’t think I can move on
from her. She’s my world. How can she do this to me.

Alison (Irritated)
Oh my God! Kris, pang pito mo na yan nakakapika ka na, as
in. Kala mo naman magugunaw mundo. I’m telling you sa una
lang yan masakit. The more you cry the more you get
attached.

Kris (Sarcastic)
WOW! What a way to show support to your friend of 10 years.
Alison all I’m asking you is to be there. Hindi naman ako
katulad mo na manhid pagdating sa mga ganitong bagay.

(Alison gets shocked slightly)

Alison
Hindi ako manhid Kris. Hindi din ako maarte. Let me give you
a piece of advi-

(Kris interrupts her)

Kris (Irritated)
You’re the one to talk. Alison let me tell you, I came from
a genuine relationship. Not like this little flings of
yours. I have the right to be sad about this.

Alison (Sarcastic)
Still hindi ako iyong umiiyak at nasasaktan sa ating dalawa?
Whether you like it or not I’ll tell you how I manage these
“men”. Makinig ka para hindi ka magmukhang tanga kakaiyak
diyan.
 Alison (Proud)
When it comes to relationships. Inevitable na magbreak. Kaya
kung ako sa iyo. Make the most out of it. Make use of them,
their pockets, and their attention. Para kapag naghiwala
kayo. You’re not in the loss. Ganon lang?

Kris(Irritated)
“Ganon lang” You’re insane Alison. Insane I tell you.

(Alison shrugs her shoulders proudly)

Kris
Speaking of these “relationships” of yours. How is
everything going?

Alison
Hmmm. Everything’s fine as of the moment. Got another boytoy
on top of my old one.

Kris
Alison! You’re crazy. Ang bait pa naman ni Sean? I thought
natuto ka na?

Alison
Natuto? Saan? Anyways, walang lugar ang kabaitan sa mundong
ito. That’s why I’m replacing him. Too bland.

(Sean enters)

Alison

Anyways mukhang andito na sundo ko. Bye Kri-

(Sean grabs Alison’s hand violently)

Alison
Sean! Aray ano ba nasasaktan ako.

(Kris is seen standing up)

Sean
Come with me now Alison.

Scene 5

Staircase - Day

Sean can be seen dragging Alison somewhere. Alison rightfully stops

their commotion at a staircase.

Alison:
Sean stop! Nasasaktan ako. Ano bang problema mo. You’re
scaring me. Ouch

(Alison can be seen at pain due to Sean’s grip)

Sean:
Alison tapatin mo ako. Totoo ba? Ha? TOTOO BA?

(Alison is shocked at Sean’s boldness but contains her

posture)

Alison:
Totoo ba na ano? Sean hindi kita maintindihan

(Alison is babying Sean into submission)

Sean:
Don’t pull that victim card on me Alison. Hindi ako
pinanganak kahapon. Are you cheating on me?

Alison:
What, no way! Why would I ever cheat on you? Sean you know
how much I love you.

(Alison holds Sean’s face intimately. )

Sean:
Alison please. Stop this.

(Sean slowly removes Alison’s hand from his face)

Alison:
What?

Sean:
Ano toh? Kagabi sabi mo natulog ka na. Then malaman laman ko
you’re at a bar. With a guy. Alison what the hell is wrong
with you.

(Alison’s pleading face changes into a sadistic smile, as if

killing Sean’s hope of reconciliation)

Alison:
Pfft. Akala ko eh hindi ka na makakahalata! AHSHASHHAH. My
god Sean you are one dumb man. Dun palang sa part na hindi
kita nirereplyan agad agad. Dapat nakahalata ka na?

(Alison turns away from Sean)

Alison:
Ngayong alam mo na. Kung ano man iyong meron tayo. That’s
gone. It was fun while it lasted Sean. Bye~

(Alison Starts to walk down the stairs)

Sean:
Alison, I loved you. Out of all people you should know that

(Sean holds Alison’s hand back)

Alison:
Pfft Sean. Let me go. I have to meet that guy we’re talking
about.

(Sean and Alison pull on each other)

Sean:
Alison please. Atleast explain what happened. Did I do
anything wrong? Please.

Alison:
Stop holding unto me Sean malalaglag ako. Sea-

(As Alison broke free from Sean’s hands, she misses a step
leading to her fall. Her head hits the ground as blood spill
out of her head)
