Just before the bell. The hallway is congested with students
heading to class. Tatum and sidney is at her locker with kat

KAT
"This is a mistake. I shouldn't be here."

TATUM
" I want you to meet me here right after
class, okay?"

SIDNEY
"You meet us here if you don't we will come look for you okay?"

Billy appears in the crowd, with Stu tagging behind. Tatum spots
him first.

TATUM
" Shit, what is he doing here?"

SIDNEY
" I bet he's pissed."

Kat gets even more nervous

TATUM
" Just ignore him. You had good reason to
think what you did."

Billy and Stu approach. Billy's face is solemn.

BILLY
"Hi, kat. Can we talk a sec?"

Kat says nothing. She can barely look at him. Tatum
intervenes.

TATUM
" You know if I were accused of carving up
two people, I'd take the opportunity to
skip school."

STU
"Hey, go easy, Tatum. He didn't do it."

BILLY
"Talk to me, kat."

Suddenly, a SCREAM erupts. All eyes go to a GHOST MASKED STUDENT
running down the hall, screaming wildly, running amuck.

SIDNEY
"Why are they doing this?"

STU
"Are you kidding? This is like Christmas kat I bet you love Christmas baby!"

Billy punches Stu in the side.

STU
"Owwww..."

BILLY
"You open your mouth and stupidity pours
out."

STU
" Sorry."

Kat, clearly upset, takes off down the hall. Billy races off
after her.

TATUM
"Stay away from her, Billy."

Tatum SLAMS her locker door shut out of rage as the bell RINGS.

With first period underway, the halls have cleared. One or two
struggling students can be seen rushing to class.

Kat moves quickly down the hall, rounding a corner, running
smack into...

BILLY

They collide hard catching kat off guard, scaring the life out
of her. She falls backwards, but Billy catches her fall.

Kat
" Jesus, SHIT!"

BILLY
"Hey, hey, it's just me."

Kat pulls away from him quickly. Billy feels the slight. Billy then getting annoyed wanting to hear her voice again

BILLY
"What? You don't still think it's me?"

Kat catches her breath.

KAT
"No...I don't...it's just...Oh God, Billy,
someone was there, someone tried to
kill me."

BILLY
"The police say I scared him off. It
wasn't me, kat."

KAT
"I know. He called again last night at
Tatum's house."

BILLY
"See, it couldn't have been me. I was in
jail, remember?"

KAT
"I know but God Billy you were there"
