Buenas, I wrote this for my theater class because the teacher wanted to produce a 5-minute short film as our final project. However, after reading this he got ✨inspired✨ and wanted to turn this into a full-blown TV series. So, he sent this script to a few friends in the streaming service industry but nothing ever came out of that, so here we are. Keep in mind it was originally adapted for a short-ass video, not a full-series episode. If people like this tho, I might write more episodes just for the fun of it. And yes, it is in script format. I think I originally wrote it in a more "fanfic" type format because I'm quirky like that, and my teacher made me write it like this. Maybe I'll post the unedited original one later on. Ok, bye luvs


We open in Día's daydream. She's with her fictional boyfriend.

EXT. TOWER – NIGHT

BLAZE

I'll love you forever, Día.

His words echoed. The moonlight beams on their silhouettes as the breeze drifts her back into reality.

INT. CLASSROOM – AFTERNOON

MR. RIVERA / FELIX

Día...? Día?

DIA

Hm?

MR. RIVERA / FELIX

You with us?

DIA

Yeah, sorry...

She fixes her posture. Her attempts at paying attention don't last long, as she drifts right back into her daydream.

EXT. TOWER – NIGHT

He grabs her hand and places it over his chest, supporting it with his own.

BLAZE

I would never lie to you.

DIA

I know.

She takes his other hand and does the same.

DIA

I'll love you forever, too.

He goes in for a kiss when her daydream gets interrupted once again.

INT. CLASSROOM – AFTERNOON

NORA

Time for the group project!

DIA

The what?

NORA

The group project. We should divide the work first, then put it all on the poster board.

DIA

There's a group project?

NORA

The one the teacher was just discussing...?

DIA

I was, um...

She looks over to the window, seeing Blaze standing by it.

DIA

...distracted.

NORA

Again? You gotta snap out of it.

Día changes the topic.

DIA

Is it just us?
