any other color Door”, each time getting louder and louder. The
camera pans around Denise showing her facial expressions and
surroundings. Abruptly cuts to a black screen. Sound begins to
intensify.

Alarm Ringing (off screen), she slowly wakes up, going off screen
to turn it off. Denise takes her time in getting ready for school
as she is being very lazy and slow.
She randomly picks a shirt and sniffs it and proceeds to close
the room door. Denise opens the door and proceeds to head
downstairs; she finds on the table there is breakfast ready with
a note from her mother.
Denise crumbles the note and picks up the water bottle to get
ready to go to school.

bell ringing, she walks through the hall with headphones in her
ears and gets inside her class.

class, she then lays her head down as the rest of the students
enter the class.
The mean girls burst into the class, shown with a mid-shot, and
Angela slams a paper on Denise’s desk Denise flinches from the
sound.

Angela’s mean girl minions start giggling and
secretly steal Denise’s bottle as she goes to pick up
her books.
Bullies giggle with her friend and sit behind her. They talk
behind her back and secretly throw a fake spider on Denise.
Denise slowly notices something on her shoulder and realizes,
resulting in a hysterical SCREAM. The whole class starts laughing
and looks at her in amusement.
The minions place the bottle back on Denise's table.

on her seat. The teacher walks in silently, shown as a low
