Opening Scene: The first thing that one would see if this was ever turned into an actual screen play would be a the ourside of a large high school. The camera would zoom in until it got to the sign of the front of the school, at the sign, and all you see is the name of the school. The viewer would then hear the bell ring. After one hears the bell ring, it would then cut to a group of three pretty girls. They all think that they are the greatest thing that that school has, but there is one out of the three that clearly thinks she is the best of all. The viewer then sees a poor kid trip, fall, and drop all of his belonings. All that the self centered girls can do is laugh. While this child is picking up all of his loose papers, he sees three different guys walk up to the one in that group of girls who all give her a kiss and they tell eachother that they love eachother. The other two girls clearly do not feel comfortable with the situation, but go along with it for popularity. The viewer would see that this girl is obviously cheating on these three guys and none of the three guys have any idea. One then sees the other guy, still sitting on the ground collecting the last of his things. The last thing you see in the scene is the boys getting up and leaving.
Inciting Incident: At this part in the script is where all goes wrong for the protagonist, Hayley. That boy who dropped all of his things is the hall decided to show up at her house one night. He pretended to be nice to her and decided to bring her her favorite kind of tea from the near by coffee shop. Little did she know that the boy had put some sort of potion in it. After drinking the tea, she gets quite tired and tells the boy that she needs to go to sleep now and politely ushers him out the door. When she wakes up the next morning, she looks in the mirror and does not like what she sees. The porion that the boy put in the tea made her so hideous that not even she herself could look at it in the mirror. She calls the boy and he explains everything to her that she needs to know. After finding out what is going on, Hayley takes off into the woods where she thinks no one will ever find her or have to see her again.
Having Fun and Getting to Know Your Characters: At this point in the script, Hayley is off in the woods and doing her best to find a way in which she can stay there forever. It's not going so well for her and there are times that she contemplates going back home to tell her parents the truth. Anyway, she has met this guy from her high school, whose name is Andrew. The two are becoming good friends. Andrew is trying to teach Hayley how he and his family are living in the woods on such a little income, and he and his family have even offered to let her stay at their home. They are nice people and refuse to judge her based on the way that she looks.
