Lucy: Yeah, I’m fine, just a little lost.
Emily-Jayne: Oh, maybe I can help, where do you want to go? I’m a volunteer librarian here so I know this place like the back of my hand.
(Lucy gets a piece of paper out and indicates where she needs to go)
Lucy: I need to find this place here, E572?
(Points to paper)
Emily-Jayne: Oh yeah I took media there a while back. Just give me a minute.
(Emily-Jayne puts some books that are on the table on the shelf)

Emily-Jayne: Just ignore them
(Lucy is startled because she doesn’t realize Emily-Jayne is sat behind her she jumps)
Lucy: Jesus Emily, You nearly gave me a heart attack.
Emily-Jayne: Oh sorry, you really shouldn’t listen to them.
Lucy: I Don’t.
(The bullies shout more abuse because Lucy is talking to herself)
Emily-Jayne: Come on let’s get out of here. Do you fancy getting a coffee?
Lucy: Yeah sure.
(They walk out of the library away from the bullies.)
Exterior. Pavement outside college next to a main road.
(Emily-Jayne and Lucy are walking on the pavement, a car goes passed and throws something at them. They realise it was the girls from the library)
Emily-Jayne: God, are you okay? You really need to do something about that.
Lucy: Why should I, I’ve been dealing with it most my life I can handle it.
Emily:Jayne: Yes but,
(Lucy cuts her off)
Lucy: Look I don’t want to talk about it, please just forget about it.

Cashier: Two? (Confused expression)
Lucy: Yeah two if that’s ok? (Confused expression back)
Cashier: No problem love
(Lucy hands the money over, gets the drinks and goes to sit down opposite Emily-Jayne)
Emily-Jayne: I know you probably don’t want me to bring it up again but I think you should tell Simon about what those girls just did.
Lucy: Yeah, you’re most probably right. I’m just glad you’ve been there, I don’t make friends easy.
Emily-Jayne: Yeah me too, shall we go see Simon after the coffee?
Lucy: Maybe (Looks scared)
Emily-Jayne: Oh I was going to ask.
(Lucy’s phone interrupts Emily as it starts to vibrate on the table)
Lucy: Oh it’s my mum, just give me a minute.

Lucy: Hello.
Mum: Hiya darling.
Lucy: What’s up?
Mum: Well I was vacuuming your room this afternoon.
(Scene cuts to her mum vacuuming the room)

(Cut to Lucy’s bedroom she is looking in the mirror muttering to herself, she gets her bag and walks out of the door)

Lucy: Okay I can see you now. Signals kind of going anyway.
(Lucy hangs up the phone)
Emily-Jayne: So are you ready for this?
Lucy: Yeah sure, I mean it’s not that much of a big deal really.
Emily-Jayne: I suppose not.
(They walk round the corner to the door of the classroom. Lucy takes In a deep breath and knocks on the door)
Simon: Hello Lucy, what’s the matter?
Lucy: Hello, I think I need some help.....from you, are you busy?
Simon: No not at all, come in. Shut the door after you.
(Lucy walks into the classroom, shuts the door behind her and sits down opposite Simon)
Lucy: Okay well...well. Right, I’m having a little bit of trouble with some of the girls in our class.
Simon: Oh okay, well let’s start with who?
Lucy: Well really it’s just Jade, but also her friends Sharron and I don’t know the other one but she has long blonde hair and sits near the window just over there.
Simon: Ahh you mean Danielle Squires.
Lucy: Yeah I think that’s her name.
Simon: And what has been happening then?
Lucy: Well it started out softly you know just like muttering in the library and whenever I see them really. But I just saw them today and they threw something at me and Emily and I dunno I’m just a little bit fed up now. I feel daft coming to you at this age, but I just don’t know what to do.
Simon: No worries, that’s why I’m here...... so it’s not just you getting bullied then? Who’s this Emily girl?
Lucy: Emily-Jayne Hart? Um yeah
Lucy: Well kind of just had media and then hung out with Emily.
Mum: Ohh great. Maybe you should invite her round for tea sometime.
Lucy: Yeah she’d love it, maybe I will.
Mum: Okay love, well I’ll see you after work. Bye.

Simon: No worries, that’s why I’m here...... so it’s not just you getting bullied then? Who’s this Emily girl?
Lucy: Emily-Jayne Hart? Um yeah
(She looks to the empty chair. She looks confused and puzzled at why Simon is reacting so blankly)
Simon: What?
Lucy: Emily, yeah she’s um.
Simon: What are you talking about Lucy?
Lucy: Emily-Jayne
(Lucy Points and looks to the side of her)
Lucy: (Mutters whilst she looks around the room)
(Lucy looks and she sees no one there, she looks a second time but there is still no one in the seat)
Simon: Lucy, Lucy? Is everything okay?
(Lucy looks sick and confused)
Lucy: No no I’m not at all. What’s happening?
(She puts her hand on her head and stands off her seat)
Lucy: I don’t know what’s happening.
(She continues to mutter to herself whilst pacing up and down)
Simon: Just calm down Lucy,
(Simon looks through a filing cabinet in the corner of the room he flicks through the folders until he finds the folder Hart, He pulls out her file, Lucy is wandering around the room pulling at her hair)
Simon: I have found her file.
(Simon scans the sheet of paper in his hand; he suddenly looks at the file in shock)
Simon: What the....
(He says to himself)
Simon: Look this is most probably a misunderstanding, but it says, it...it says (he stutters) well it says she died Lucy.
Lucy: She was my friend, I knew her. She was the best friend I have ever had.
(Lucy doesn’t really take in what Simon had just said to her then she falls silent and stares at the floor)
Lucy: Oh my god.
(She realises what has just happened and sits back in her chair)
Flashbacks occur in Lucy’s head, they cover the times they spent together and what they must have looked like to a normal person. She is sat in the café alone, on the phone to no one, walking down the corridors laughing to herself trying to find her class, the bullies watching her having a conversation with herself in the computer suite, they are laughing at her. The bullies throwing an empty bottle at her.
(The camera pulls focus onto Lucy’s Face)
Lucy: NOOOOOOOOOO!
