THE CLASSROOM SCENE (Daytime)

Fade In Transition

Shanice sits down relaxing, then receives a phone call.

While she is on the phone, she walks around in anger as she has an argument with the person on the other line.

SHANICE:

(Shouting)

I really don't care what you're saying now.

(Shanice sits back down with an angry look on her face)

DAD:

"Stop the shouting Shanice. You're always making up so much noise!"

SHANICE:

"Ah, whatever Dad. I've had enough of everyone! I'm leaving!"

(Shanice storms out of the room.)

DAD:

"Fine. Don't come back. You're not needed here anyway!"

OUTSIDE SCENE

Shanice runs outside near the park and walks around.

SHANICE:

Where am I even going to stay? I have no where to go.

Shanice walks around and sees a bench that she can sit on. 

NARRATOR:

Shanice holds her head in frustration. Then suddenly looks to the right to see something glowing.

She then hears a voice.

THE MOTHER:

Come closer (echo)

Shanice looks around, wondering who said that. As she is curious to see what is glowing, she walks towards it and sees that it's a door, so she starts to open it.

THE MOTHER:

There are secrets that you need to know of. (echo)

THE DOOR SCENE

NARRATOR:

ONE DOOR. (Text is shown on screen)

SHANICE:

Huh!? (Shanice looks confused but still opens the door.)

The room spins and Shanice enters this room which is dark.

SHANICE:

Where am I?... Hello?... Is anyone there?...

THE MOTHER:

Shanice... (echo)

SHANICE:

Who was that?

THE MOTHER:

It's Me...
