Overview:
A psychological murder is killing high school students and basing the attacks on a book written by one of the school's English teachers.
.
Detailed treatment:
It’s a normal Thursday morning at
.
We then cut to the other side of the car park that looks onto the walk way up to school. We can see a skinny normal looking boy looking at Mary-Alice get out of the car; it’s obvious that he likes her. The boy is called Chris Marshall the boy that nobody knows about or talks too. As he continues to look at Mary-Alice the bell rings and he walks away, but looks back every now and again.
.
The next scene opens and we can see Chris standing alone waiting in the corridor next to his classroom. People start to arrive in small groups of about 2-3, nobody talks to him. The teacher come down the corridor and stands next to the door to open it, he doesn’t look at Chris he just says “mornin’”. The teacher is wearing black trousers with a blue shirt tucked in, with a dark blue tie; he is called Gene Tyler or Mr. T. by his students, and he is about 28 years old. Back when he was 17, he wrote a book called “Revenge of a Nobody” in which the school loser takes revenge on the people at school who bullied him and made his life hell, apart from one girl who he has been in love with love with since primary school who he tries to make fall for him by killing everyone she knows. It ends with him killing her, then raping her, then turning the gun on himself. (This is the book they will be studying in their English class.) Gene opens the door and all the students walk in.
.
Inside the classroom, Chris sits alone, and gets his pens and paper out, whilst he does this we can see everyone else is just talking and not ready to start the day. After about 5minutes, Gene starts the lesson just as he is about to say what they will be doing today Ben, Robin and Mary-Alice walk in laughing. Gene tells them in a nice friendly way to hurry up, Ben says they are and makes a Mr T (the man from the A Team joke,) everyone laughs, apart from Chris. They sit down and the lesson starts. Gene then starts to talk about his book that they will be studying for their exam, whilst he goes over why he wrote the book and how much money he made out of it. We see Chris staring at Mary-Alice all the way through the lesson. As Gene walks around handing people his book he gets the Chris’ table and asks him a question. He doesn’t reply. From the other side of the classroom one of Ben’s friends Charlie Brown make a joke of him, everyone laughs, apart from Gene and Mary-Alice. Gene says “don’t worry about it and hands him a book. Chris starts to read it.
.
The scene then cuts back to corridor outside the classroom, where we hear the bell ring, Chris is the first to leave the room and he starts to look I his bag Mary-Alice walks out and stands next to him, she smiles. He compliments her and thanks her for not laughing at him; she tells him that they are all jerks anyway. He then starts to ask her if she would like to go out with him, just at that moment Robin, Ben and his friend Charlie Brown walk out of the class, see what is happening and start laughing at Chris. Ben the pulls Mary-Alice away saying” you could never get a girl like that” as he walks away with her laughing, Charlie makes a joke about Chris but get’s his name wrong. Anger bubbles up inside Chris and he angrily shouts ‘MY NAME IS CHRIS MARSHALL!” he then runs away.
.
We then cut to the next day; we are back in the English classroom we can see Chris empty chair and table. The class is talking about what happened yesterday with Chris and Mary-Alice; everyone is making jokes and laughing apart from her. After the lesson Charlie goes to the bathroom we see him looking into the mirror and complimenting his appearance. Suddenly the lights go out. Darkness. “What the hell? Hey! Whoever did that put the lights back on!” they come back on. He then washes his hands and starts singing. We don’t see who is there, but he suddenly stops and looks in the mirror, he asks “what the hell are you doing in here?” we then see the back of someone’s leg holding in their right hand a knife with blood on it. Charlie panics and starts’ running for the door, the killer runs in front of him and punches him in the nose. Charlie kicks him, pushes him into a toilet cubical and runs for the door. The door is locked, he starts screaming. He gets brutally murdered. After Charlie is dead the killer drops his lifeless body into the middle of the bathroom floor.
.
Ben finds the body in the bathroom and tells everyone. The police arrive to clean up the mess, they bring Gene into the bathroom, and all that can be seen is a lot of blood on the sink and floor. But written in light pink lipstick on the mirror is the word ‘REVENGE’. This is the same as what happens in Gene’s book.
.
Over the next couple of weeks more students die and at everyone, there is the word 'Revenge' written in pink lipstick either on the body or in a mirror, just like in the book. Furthermore, Chris never comes back to school. At school, 3 weeks after Charlie's murder, Mary-Alice is sat alone at lunch when she receives a phone call from an unknown caller. She answers the call and there is no answer. The phone call cuts out. Ben comes over and tells her he has to go home for a while, he leaves and she is left all alone.
.
The scene cuts and we see Robin walking to school, she looks at her watch and it read 12:30pm, she starts to quicken her pace. From nowhere someone throws a empty can of pop at her. It misses her, she turns, there's no one there. She quickens her pace even more; we can hear some heavy breathing coming from behind her. Another can is thrown; she turns and looks at an empty street. She turns back and starts to run, the heavy breathing gets heavy and more intense until another can is thrown it hits her on the head and we cut to black.
.
We cut back to the school and see Mary-Alice who is still sat alone looking at her watch; she walks over to a table full of people and asks if anyone has seen Robin, they say no. The bell rings and she walks to 5th lesson. After the lesson, Mary-Alice decides to call Robin, she doesn't pick up. She walks off to her 6th lesson.
.
The scene cuts and we can see Robin lied on a dirty floor, we don't know where she is. We can see blood trickling down her face from where the can hit her. She suddenly wakes up and screams for help. The killer walks over and says 'don't bother; no one can hear you scream.' The killer then pulls out a knife and starts to cut up her body.
.
We cut as we hear the school bell ring and see Mary-Alice walking out of school to her car. There is a group of people stood around the front of her car, as she gets closer she pushes people out of the way and sees Robin's dead body lied right in front of her car. Written on Robin's face is 'To: Mary-Alice, Love: Revenge' She screams and more people arrive, including Gene and Ben. Ben runs over to her and puts his arm around her and pulls her away from the car. Whilst this happens Gene calls for an ambulance. Ben tries to consolidate her, she starts to punch him away from her, she asks where he has been all day. He can't tell her. She accuses him of being the murder, after a long fight they break up. Mary-Alice walks back to her car sees all the blood and faints.
.
The next scene opens with Mary-Alice sat in her English classroom wrapped in a blanket, as she slowly regains consciousness, we can see Gene sat opposite her looking on his computer. Mary-Alice asks where she is and what has happened. Gene tells her and then says if she has any idea who the killer might be, she says it might be Ben. Gene then tells her that she can tell him if anything else happens over the next couple of days.
.
The next day at school, Mary-Alice and Ben do not talk to each other; it is obvious that both are very upset and not happy about the break up. It's just a normal day at school.
We then see Ben getting changed in the boy's locker room, he is all alone. Suddenly, we hear some long heavy footsteps coming from behind him. He turns and shouts 'is anybody there?' no answer and the footsteps stop. He continues to get changed, we then see somebody run across the locker room, he turns sees nothing, turns back to his locker and starts to panic. We then hear some heavy breathing coming from directly behind him. He turns around, screams, we see a lot of blood. End scene.
.
The next scene opens, back in the locker room we can see lots of boys getting changed as one boy opens his locker he sees the Ben's dead body stuffed inside his locker. It falls on to him and covers the boys around him in blood. Lots of screams.
We then cut to see Mary-Alice sat alone in her English lesson, a teacher comes into the room to talk to Gene, he asks Mary-Alice to come outside. He then tells her about Ben's murder and that written on the body was the same as what was written on Robin's body ('To:Mary-Alice, Love:Revenge.)
.
Over the next couple of weeks more students who are close friends of Mary-Alice die all with the word 'Revenge' written in pink lipstick on their faces. Gene tells Mary-Alice that the killer must be someone else she's knows, but she can't think of anybody else who would want to hurt her. At lunch she receives another phone call from an unknown caller, this time there is somebody on the other end. In a creepy style voice the person says that he is coming for her next, she asks who the person is, and he says ' you already know my name!' and cuts the call off. Mary-Alice tells Gene.
.
It's the night of the school Prom, and everyone (who's left) is attending, including Mary-Alice. She arrives alone, and we can see about 20 people dancing around the gymnasium which has been decorated in blue and gold banners reading 'Welcome class of '09' etc. She doesn't dance with anyone; Gene comes over to her and asks if she has any ideas why the killer might be targeting her. She doesn't but would like to kill him for revenge. Just at that moment Gene suddenly realises who the killer is, in a panic her tells her not to go anywhere, he runs out of the gymnasium. Whilst he is gone, an announcement is made that everyone is going to die, the lights go out, someone screams, the lights come back on we see a dead body hung from one of the banners dripping blood. This happens a few more times, but this time when the lights come back on Mary-Alice runs to the bathroom, to try and hide. After about a minute of being in there the killer jumps out of one of the toilet cubicles, hits her over the head and we see a screen of red, then nothing.
.
The next scene opens and we can see Mary-Alice unconscious lied on the floor, being sprayed with water. She suddenly wakes up and jumps to her feet. We can also see the killer wearing all black with a black hat covering his face, holding a knife covered in blood. She pleads with him not to kill her, he says nothing, he just stands there staring at her. She then asks why her, she starts to cry. The killer then says 'but you know why, don't you Mary-Alice,' he then takes off his hat and for the first time we see the killer, it's Chris Marshall. He tells her why he killed everyone and that it was all because he loved her, he then says that they can finally be together now, Mary-Alice tells him "Get lost, I could never love somebody like you!" He pulls a gun out on her, and commands her to say she loves him, she can't after all the people he's killed and because she never loved him. This makes him very angry, he then says 'Big mistake!' and starts to walk closer to her until he is pointing it right at her heart, 'I guess it's going to end to just like the book, goodby--' Just at that moment he is shot in the head by Gene who says 'I wrote the book, I make the endings.' Gene hugs Mary-Alice and says 'it's all over now.'
