DAMEN
(talking to him self)
I guess being took away from this
shit hole doesnt sound TOO bad.

happen?
he gets an indivual pill and moves it closer trying to
figure out what it is.
DAMEN
c’mon damen, dont be a wimp.
He swollows the tablet. He sits down and starts watching
some tv. Once that programme finishes he notices that its
been half an hour.
DAMEN

He takes another tablet. Hopping something will happen
FIRST DREAM INT.OAK HILLS HIGH SCHOOL 6AM
You see damen walking into the teachers staff room. Hes
wearing a white t-shirt full of stains and wearing boxers.
His brown hair which is usaully neatly gelled in perfect
place but in this case its all messy.
He walks into the staff room, looks around and hears sexual
screaming coming from the printer room. He walks in and
bangs the door open.
In front of him is alec, with his pants up to his ankles. he
turns his head around with his bright blue eyes sparkling
and looking right at damen. But damen isnt looking at alec,
hes looking at the drama teacher- Oliva. Who has her legs
wrapped around alec while sat on a desk, she moves her brown
hair out of her face revling her green eyes.
OLIVA
Oh hi damen
she sits up stumbling, straightening out her skirt. Damen
doesnt react, hes just staring. Oliva looks at alec who is
just stood there with a smirk on his face not even bothering
to pull his pants back up.
OLIVA
(whispers)
alec...
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 6.
ALEC
(Looks at oliva)
yeah babe?
OLIVA
(She looks at damen and then
back at alec)
Sort your self out
ALEC
(Sighs)
whatever.
He pulls his pants up and turns around to damen who hasnt
moved. Alec looks him up and down and notices he still looks
half asleep
ALEC
(laughing)
You alright damen? You havent got a
class till one.
Damen still doesnt react and is still just staring
ALEC
(Laughs)

Alec walks up to Damen and points at a stain at his top
ALEC
Cant even dress him self, never
mind teach.
Olivia laughs, stands up and stands in front of alec. Alec
puts his hands on his waist and starts to kiss olivia, she
goes and try and undo his belt again
OLIVA
(looks at damen)
can you leave?
she giggles as alec starts to kiss her neck.
olivia lifts alec off her neck
OLIVIA
he isnt going.
alec looks at damen who is still just staring, with no
emotion on him at all. He frowns but then looks back at
olivia, looks her up and down.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 7.
ALEC
(Smirking)
If he wants to stay, then let him.
Im not bothered if he watches
Alec starts laughing
ALEC
As long as he doesnt tell my wife.
Alec goes back onto kissing olivia, pushing her against the
wall.
Damen starts having flash backs about charlotte.
He turns around and stares at alec and olivia, without even
blinking he goes up to alec and grabs him behind the neck
throwing him into the staff room.
OLIVA
(Shouting)
Damen, what you doing?! Stop!
Damen doesnt even turn around and look at olivia. He drags
alec into the tiny kitchen in the staff room. He lets go and
grabs a knife. Alec stumbles up onto his feet, holding his
hand to his neck. He noticies the knife in damens hand.
ALEC
what...what, you doing?
He starts to walk back stumbling. Damen is just stood there
staring again. Alec looks at olivia who is standing there
crying, still with half of her top off. He looks back at
Damen who hasnt moved an muscle
ALEC
Mate. just calm it, yeah?
Damen grunts and walks closer
ALEC
Please, damen mate. Stop.
OLIVA
(Crying)
Stop please.
Damen doesnt stop. He starts walking towards alec who
stumbls and falls down on to the floor. Damen jumps on top
of him and starts slashing at him.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 8.
ALEC
(Screaming)
Get of me!
OLIVA
(Screaming/crying)
Stop please.
Damen keeps on slashing and slashing at alec untill hes sat
there in a pool of blood.
olivia starts walking away. Damen gets up and follows her.
OLIVA
Please, leave me alone.
He doesnt leave her alone and keeps on walking towards
olivia
INT.DAMENS HOME (AFTERNOON)
An alarm goes off.
Damen wakes up and looks around, noticing hes fell asleep on
the couch. He looks over and see’s the time.
1:30Pm
DAMEN
(sits up quickly)
Shit. Im late.
He puts his hands on his head because him sitting up that
fast didnt do his mingrane any favors.
He looks around at his room, he notices some of his clothes
in the middle of the room and some muddy shoes on the floor.
He looks at the confusingly, wondering if he went out or not
but when he looks around again he realises nothing else has
moved, His pills are still there, his car keys are still in
the bowl.
He stands up, loosing his balanc and making the room spin
around. He looks at his pills.
DAMEN
(talking to him self, while
grabbing more pills)
I might aswell.
He strolls into his bathroom. grabbing some pants on the
way, grunting as he puts them on.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 9.
In the bathroom, he grabs his tooth brush and looks into the
bathroom mirror. while brushing his teeth he realises how
pale he is and how red his eyes have gone, He just shrugs
and splashes his face with water. He notices’s some blood
run down the drain as hes having a wash.
DAMEN
(confused)
did i have a nose bleed?
he looks in the mirror, trying to find where this blood is
coming from.
DAMEN
fuck knows.
He looks down at his watch. 2Pm. He rushes out of the
bathroom, putting a tie on and leaves the house. He closes
the door only to come back in 2 minutes later. Forgeting his
car keys and shoes
DAMEN
(looking around)
Shoess and car keeys.
when he finds them, he quickly puts his shoes and leaves the
apartment.
EXT. OAK HILLS CAR PARK (AFTERNOON)
DAMEN
Okay, damen just say that you wasnt
feeling well. Im sure he will
understand.
He looks at the time while driving towards his car park
space. He pulls over.
DAMEN
Maybe, just say that their was an
family emrgancy.
He keeps debating to him self, wondering what exscuse would
actually be more suitable to tell his horrible boss.
He goes to open the door when he realises he hasnt got his
ID card.
DAMEN
For fuck sake, it must be in here
some where.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 10.
He looks aorund in his car, under the seat, in the door
pocket and in the glove box. he find his ID, as he pulls
them out. He noticies it is tangled around a box.
DAMEN
What even is this?
He opens up the box, finding some tapes. he goes to lift the
tapes out to have a closer look untill he notices in his car
mirror that an police man is walking his way. He puts the
box into the glove box and puts on his id. Just in time for
the police man to nock onto the window.
He rolls down the window.
The police man pokes his head through the window.
DAMEN

He chuckles

The police man steps away from the car.
DAMEN

The police man looks at damen and then looks back around,
tilting his cap to help block the sun.
POLICE MAN
Hurry up then.
Damen gets out of the car and locks it. The police man leads
him to the entrance and down the hall, damen can see the
staff room and how it is all taped off.

They carry on walking down the corridor
POLICE MAN
So was yous close?
DAMEN
Pardon?
POLICE MAN

DAMEN
No
Damen cuts him off, remembering his hatred towards them
both. All the teasing and bullying that they have done to
him over the past few years was far from forgetable.
He noticies that the police man is looking at him
DAMEN

he heads back into the store room and he hears the police
mans radio mumberling. He turns around to see the police man
leaning against the wall
POLICE MAN
(Sarcastic)
Take your time, not like theres an
investigation of a murder going on.
Damen grabs his laptop and was ready to say he is ready to
go but his tongue is still tied up just from hearing the
words ’murder’
the police man looks at damen who is putting the laptop bag
onto his shoulder
POLICE MAN
C’mon then.
they both start walking down the corridor, seeing that more
and more police men have came in.

go.

Damen finds him self stood in the middle of a corridor. He
does this on the daily, standing and walking down the
corridors. But this wasnt a usual day, instead of kids
theres police.
another cop walks towards damen, noticing this one obviously
takes his job alot more serious.
