2 INT. HALLWAY/TOILETS - MOMENTS LATER 2

Phoebe walks out of the classroom and wanders around the
hallway, looking around to see if Kylie is anywhere. She
reaches a door leading to the girls bathroom looking unclean
and dull, Phoebe walks inside and starts scanning the
cubicles. She spots a single locked door and glaces under to
spot Kylie's shoes.
PHOEBE
Kylie?
There is Silence
PHOEBE
(More tentatively)
Kylie? hello?
The hello reverberates around the bathroom and no response
comes. All cubicle doors but one are open. Phoebe slowly
approaches the closed one and stands in front of it.
PHOEBE
(concerned)
Are you ok?
Phoebe presses her ear against the door waiting for a
response but the door pushes open. Surprised, Phoebe recoils
but then slowly pushes the door open further. The door opens
to reveal Kylie slumped in the corner, visibly dead. Phoebe
staggers backwards and screams with complete horror on her
face.
PHOEBE
(Horrified)
AGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH AGHHHHHH OH MY
GOD
Phoebes coils into the furthest corner from Kylie just as
another student runs panicked into the bathroom. She spots
Kylie and runs to comfort her.
ALEX
(Runs up to Phoebe and
grabs her arm)
Hey, what's wrong?! are you ok? Hey,
what's wrong?
PHOEBE
(breathing heavily still
shocked and whimpering)
Kylie... there...
 2.

Phoebe points at the cubicle and Alex walks over to it to see

what's wrong. She notices Kylie and recoils to the side so
Kylie is out of sight.
ALEX
(shellshocked whisper)
Holy Fuck
Alex stands frozen with fear staring at Kylie when yet
another students stumbles worried through the bathroom door.
RONALD
Did I hear a scream or am I
hallucinating?
Alex turns to stare at him while over Alex's shoulder Ronald
sees dead body and briefly looks surprised.
RONALD
(In a monotonous tone but
still looking vaguely
concerned)
I'm not speaking from experience,
but she looks a bit dead to me.
Nobody moves and the room is silent, Phoebe is still
panicking in the corner.
PHOEBE
(screams loudly and
panicked)
H-H-HOW ARE YOU SO CALM?! WHY IS NO
ONE DOING ANYTHING?
Alex reluctantly takes a few steps back. Ronald walks forward
to the cubicle with Kylie, leans in toward the body and
sniffs
RONALD
(matter-of-factly)
Yep... definitely dead.
ALEX
(disgusted and appauled)
You just sniffed a dead body
RONALD
(matter-of-factly)
At least now we're certain she's
dead.
PHOEBE
(panicked)
STOP SNIFFING HER AND GO GET HELP!

3 INT. PRINCIPALS OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER 3

Phoebe is sitting alone, in an office. The clock is ticking.

She looks around and out the window. The door opens and a
disheveled police officer and their assistant walk in. Phoebe
straightens up and looks at them, a little scared and still
shook from what she witnessed.
POLICE OFFICER
(checking at his notepad,
seriously)
Afternoon, are you Phoebe Blight?
Phoebe nods at him, nervous, peaking at his notes. The police
assistant starts to write something down as the police
officer and assistant sit on the chairs opposite her.
POLICE OFFICER
(Seriously)
Okay, before we start, please note
that this isn't an interrogation,
I'm just here to ask few questions
to better understand what could have
happened to your friend.
Phoebe nods again nervously and straightens up realising how
serious this is.

POLICE OFFICER
So now, you were friends with Kylie?

PHOEBE
(uncertainly)
Um, yeah

POLICE OFFICER
(straightening up and
leaning back)
So, can you tell me what what
happened today?
PHOEBE
(choking up and beginning
to sob)
Um well... she wasn't in class. And
I-I-I ...I only walked into the
bathroom to check on her, and- and-
and then I find the cubicle door
open and she was in there ... DEAD.
Phoebe burst into tears, putting her face in her hands.

CUT TO:
 4.

ALEX
Yeah, course. I was printing my
physics essay, which I am so about
to ace. I spent ages on it and I
found this entire site that had
exactly the topic we were covering.
I know I wasn't supposed to, but
like it was perfect so I just based
my entire essay around it. Because
like why use multiple sources if you
already have one really reliable
one? Just seems...

The police officer and assistant look at her raising their

eyebrows, urging her to get to the point, Alex notices and
regains herself.

ALEX
oh yeah sorry, uhh then I heard a
scream from the bathroom so I run to
check it out. I run in, see Phoebe
crying and then turn and see...
well, um Kylie.

Her previously cool demeanour vanishes and she looks sad

thinking back to Kylie slumped in the corner.

CUT TO:

RONALD
Uh... well, This is all confidential
right? Nothing goes out of this room
and all that?

The police assistant scribbles on his paper and the police

officer raises his eyebrows with an incredulous look.

RONALD
Well... I was skipping class because
I hate French class with Ms.
Lavigne. She doesn't understand that
my creativity can't be limited by
'grammar'. But anyways then I heard
Phoebe scream and- Wait actually it
could have been Alex. Or was it
Phoebe? Was it? Do you know?
Police officer looks vaguely annoyed then turns back to
Ronald to ask another question.

POLICE OFFICER
Were you close with Kylie? Were
there any issues between you?
 5.

PHOEBE
(dabbing her eyes with a
tissue)
No, no, nothing major. Well at least
I don't think so, unless she was
still angry about that one time I
like... no

Phoebe looks sad and then bursts into tears again

CUT TO:

ALEX
Barely even knew the girl. We got
partnered together for a
presentation once, and I mean she
was kinda rude to leave me to do the
entire project.
CUT TO:

RONALD
(matter-of-factly)
Nah, we didn't have any beef. None.
To be entirely honest, I didn't know
her that well.
CUT TO:

The police officer's face turns serious, he fixes them all

with a stare.

POLICE OFFICER
Could you in anyway be responsible
for Kylie's death?

Phoebe stops and puts down her tissue to stare at the officer
with a mix of confusion and shock.

PHOEBE
(whispered disbelief)
What? Me? NO!

(in between sobs)

Sh-she's my best friend, I would DIE
for her.
She pauses, crumpled tissue halfway to her eyes.

Well... not anymore obviously, since

she's-

Phoebe begins crying again.

CUT TO:
ALEX
(shocked)
Responsible!? What? You think I
murdered Kylie?
Alex stiffens and regains her composure

ALEX
(decidedly)
I know for a fact that I have the
right to remain silent if I wish. I
want my lawyer.Now!
CUT TO:

RONALD}

(confused)
Well... I mean, I am innocent, for
the most part. Yeah sure I skipped
one class, but I didn't kill anyone!

CUT TO:

POLICE OFFICER
(calmly)
I'm not accusing anyone, I was just
asking. Do you know anyone she was
associated with, that might have any
grudges against her? Anything
dangerous she was involved in?

CUT TO:

PHOEBE
(sniffling)
No, everyone loved her, I LOVED her.
CUT TO:

ALEX
(annoyed)
Anyone with a grudge against her?
I've already said I didn't even
really know her.
 7.

her eyes fix on the officer with a glare

ALEX
I still want a lawyer!

CUT TO:

RONALD
(thinking)
Um.. well let's see. I honestly
don't know. She was the sort of
person who nobody noticed.

He appears to have a sudden idea and starts nodding to

himself.

What if... what if maybe she got

into business with some bad people?
CUT TO:

The police officer appears ready to end the interview.

POLICE OFFICER
Is there anything else you think you
should be telling us?

CUT TO:
PHOEBE/ ALEX / RONALD
(decisively)
No.
