Hiii Cambridge im so excited to show you my final script so here it is!
EXT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
A dim lamp lights the room. A TV hums in the background, but the screen is off.
MAIN CHARACTER, a teenage girl, sits on the couch in leggings and a hoodie. A textbook and notebook are on the coffee table. She taps her pencil, looking bored doing her homework.
PING!
Her phone lights up.
CLOSE UP: PHONE SCREEN
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Hey.
She looks confused, then types back.
SKY
Uh… hi? Who is this?
A moment passes. The typing bubble appears… disappears… then appears again.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Someone in your math class.
She sits up, looking at her math book.
SKY
Okay…? And you just randomly decided to text me?
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Not random. I really like you.
Her eyes get really big. She grabs the phone, very nervous but curious.
SKY
This feels like a prank.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
It’s not. Let’s play a game.
CLOSE UP: HER FACE—confused but interested.
SKY
What game?
UNKNOWN NUMBER
20 Questions. You ask, I answer. If you guess right, I’ll tell you who I am.
She bites her lip, thinking.
SKY
Fine. First question: Are you in my math class?
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Yes.
She exhales, playing with her hair.
SKY
Okay… are you a sophomore?
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Yes.
She frowns, now more curious.
She stands up, walking into the KITCHEN. She opens the fridge, stares inside, then shuts it.
PING! NEW MESSAGE.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Your turn. Tell me something about you.
She rolls her eyes, smiling.
SKY
You already know stuff if you like me.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
True. Okay, next question.
She sighs, thinking. Then—
She dials a number.
SPLIT SCREEN: PHONE CALL INTERCUT
We hear only her side.
SKY
Hey, so, um… some guy in our math class has a crush on me?
(Pause.)
SKY
No idea who. He’s making me guess.
(Pause.)
SKY
It’s weird, but kinda exciting?
She paces.
SKY
If this is a prank, I’m switching schools.
She laughs nervously, then looks at her phone.
NEW MESSAGE:
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Your move.
She flops back onto the couch.
THE GAME IS ON.
FADE TO BLACK.
