'Abandoned Soul'

A school hallway on a spring morning. A girl left alone in a dark, empty classroom. Sitting at a desk, covering her face. Two girls squandering outside the building see the girl through the window, and they begin to entertain themselves. The girls begin knocking on the window, once this dissipates Amy looks over and jumps in anticipation. She gathers her things and leaves the classroom with haste. The girls (not far behind), enter the building and begin looking for her. Amy takes refuge in the toilet stall and locks the door behind her, sitting up on the toilet so that the girls can't see her feet. As the two girls get closer and closer towards the toilets, all Amy can hear is footsteps getting louder and louder. The two girls, Millie and Steph, barge their way into the girls toilets. The girls now standing outside the only stall which is occupied, Amy staring at Millie and Steph's bright shoes, begins to panic. Millie and Steph wait around for Amy to reside from her stall. The bell goes, loud and intruding, and the two mean girls take notice of this and make a move for the exit. 

Amy is left distressed, and slowly unlocks the toilet stall in which she occupied. She looks around before making her way towards the exit of the girls toilets with caution. Amy now hurries to her lesson, pacing so she's not late. 

As Amy leaves the north block to head to her lesson, she spots Millie and Steph standing at the corner of the North Block where she had just left. She hesitates but proceeds to attempt to walk past them. As she reaches where Millie and Steph are, they both take notice of Amy and giggle. Amy with a bright red face looks up at them which causes the two girls to laugh even more. Amy tries to walk off but is grabbed by Millie, and an argument between the girls erupts... Once it's over Amy is left in tears, and solemnly makes her way towards the exit of the school.

At the exit, she signs out using the attendance machine and then grabs her phone out of her pocket before calling her mother... She gets no response.

Amy begins walking home and attempts to stay positive on her journey, however when she thinks she's free of all the 'haters' in school, she starts to receive anonymous text messages. They read; "NO-ONE LIKES YOU", "JUST DIE" and "YOUR GOING TO TURN OUT LIKE YOUR MOTHER"... Amy continuously shakes as she proceeds her long three mile journey towards home.

As Amy reached her front door she grabbed her key out of her bag, shaking as she tries to stab the key into the door. But, before she can open the door it opens, and Amy jumps. Christine, Amy's mother, opened the door whilst falling all over the place, it is obvious to Amy that she had been consuming drugs and drinking alcohol once again. 

Christine goes into the lounge and lies down. Amy goes into the kitchen and grabs a glass of water for her mother and gives her mother a kiss on the forehead before going upstairs to her room. She grabs her laptop from the side of her bed and proceeds to search for "Easiest drug to overdose on". Amy isn't pleased with the results and leaves it there before walking into the bathroom and looking through her mothers drawers for her stash. She find's 'Sertraline' which is used for her mothers depression. She empties the container and 4 pills fall out. Amy grabs the water left in her room from the night before, and consumes one pill at a time before moving to her room where she's left in an unconscious like state. 

Out of no where, stones are being thrown against a window in the house, Amy jumps up, hands shaking vigorously. She looks out the window and to her surprise it's Millie and Steph. Amy, not frightened by it, opens the window and tells them to "just piss off, you pricks". Amy was surprised by her own reaction, and Millie and Steph looked even more dumbstruck by her hardened approach. Amy then proceeded to walk back into her mother's room, and sat in front of the mirror to stare at herself, playing with her hair before deciding to put it up in a ponytail. She glances over to the cupboard and almost falls off her seat, she moves and opens the cupboard, and much to her surprise she finds a baseball bat. She mumbles something unintelligible before proceeding downstairs to answer the door.

Millie and Steph are waiting in both excited and nervous anticipation to see what Amy's reaction will be. Suddenly, the front door to Amy's house flies open and Amy storms out red-faced, and furious at herself and the girls for their current situation. Amy goes up to both girls, wielding her baseball bat, and proceeds to wave it around incautiously until both Millie and Steph surrender. 

All three girls shared an awkward moment; Millie and Steph were relieved to be spared from the baseball bat, and Amy realised she no longer had to worry about being bullied. In that shared silence it had become clear that Amy was a force to be reckoned with. And no-one ever bothered her again.
