Synopsis Draft 1

Synopsis - Draft 1

'Abandoned Soul'

A teenagers bedroom on a grey morning. A girl waking up to a heavy beat of an alarm. *Knocks* "Amy are you awake?" Says Jess, Amy's mum. "Ellie's downstairs waiting for you". Ellie is in the kitchen twiddling with a piece of paper, waiting patiently. As Amy walks down the stairs, Ellie noticed that Amy is acting strange and her hands are shaking vigorously. 

Out the door they both proceed to walk along the footpath without saying a word. Ellie nervously walking along side Amy, obvious she wants to say something but remains silent. They gradually get closer and closer to the school, Ellie looks down at her phone the time is 9:17am, she knows they're late but proceeds to walk slowly. Amy at this point begins to act even stranger and almost faints but picks herself back up and remains calm as if nothing had happened. Ellie who is concerned lends a helping hand. Amy resists and pushes Ellie's hand away. 

They arrive at the school and continue to walk in, signing in on the touchscreen registration system. Amy struggles as her hands are shaking aggressively. After the struggle is over Amy and Ellie walk through the main entrance and had made plans to head straight to lesson, but out of no where two girls appear. Millie and Steph, Millie throws punishing words at Amy due to her hands shaking out of control. Steph just laughs. Ellie is left stunned as to what to do? Amy drifts of into a heavy like mode and pushes past Millie and Steph and goes to the nearest toilet. Ellie follows Amy to give friendly advice, she arrives outside the toilet stall in which Amy has recently occupied. Ellie try's to talk to Amy, but she doesn't talk back. Millie and Steph not far behind, arrive at the toilet and start to cause havoc once again... Steph begins to say "Amy come out, we were just playing, *giggles*". 

Amy slowly opens the door and shows her face slowly before walking past Millie and Steph once again, and abandoning her best friend Ellie in the toilet with them. Ellie shocked at the outburst begins to have a debate towards Millie and Steph. Millie and Steph walk out of the toilet still smiling, Ellie follows behind in tears, she run's up to the girls and asks why they bully Amy... 

Millie and Steph both turn to Ellie and suggest that maybe Ellie is their next target. Ellie begins shaking and goes to find her friend Amy, and to her surprise she notices Amy sitting in an empty classroom alone and vulnerable, her bag left at the desk wide open. Ellie peaks in and notices a strange prescription, painkillers. Ellie presumed that she stole them from her grandfather who had recently had a fall and broke his leg... Amy looks up to see that Ellie is rummaging through her bag, "Did you find what you were looking for?" Amy notices that Ellie has the prescription in her hand and fires out of her mouth that they help with the depression. Ellie looking just as depressed as Amy looks now is considering trying it as school and the people within it aren't worth living for. Ellie say out loud, got any spare? Amy grabs a couple out and passes them to Ellie. Ellie grabs her water from her bag and proceeds to swallow the pills one after the other. She asks for more as she can't feel anything, Amy gets three more out and passes them to Ellie. Ellie takes the pills and begins to feel strange. She rushes home and to her surprise when rummaging through her bathroom she finds 'painkillers' which were prescripted to her mother in 2016. She grabs them all and resides to her room.

Ellie, sitting on her bed begins opening the prescription and lays out the pills on the side, there are 13 in total, she takes 5 now and leaves the rest for later. Ellie 5 minutes later begins to start shaking and moving in a circular motion, as her whole body follows her actions. Randomly, she falls back into a deep sleep mode and then out of nowhere her whole body begins shaking, she's having a panic attack, a heart attack?

Ellie never awoke that night.
