Against myself.

Act 1 Scene 1

Act 1 Scene 1

Walking down a busy street, day.

The camera shows how people are walking, living their own “important “ lives; all of them are busy. As we move forward an ordinary school building,entering it, we see crowned halls until stopping near a boy -Michael. He is rather an individual person; a tall teenager with brown hair. Being a sensitive person, he usually hides his emotions, however he is highly intelligent. Shouting his locker, with empty hand and headphones plugged in his ears he moves forward. We hear his inner voice.

From Michael’s perspective.

Unemotional and calm.

People. Every single one of them is a hypocritical pig, who eats their own brain only to convince everyone about how right their wrongs are. Using every second of their lives as a waste. Entirely, going to the darkest bottom of their poor, useless existence. Our souls slowly…

He stops as he accidentally walks into a girl, who was walking and dreaming as well. The girl -Max- falls.

Normal perspective.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Michael looks at her, watching as she doesn't say a word and ignores his reached out hand. Max - a black haired girl with black intense and entertaining eyes, she is very intelligent yet usually cut off from the reality; people always avoid her and her uncomfortable atmosphere, which she creates by her appearance- stands up by herself, there's a suspicious, strange sparkle in her eyes.

Are you okay?

Max

Yes, I'm fine. Sorry.

Turning around immediately, she continues walking. Michael is clearly surprised with her behaviour.

Michael

Shouts, yet no one looks at him.

I'm Michael! You!?

Max

Doesn't stop nor turns around.

Max.

Michael

Half-voice, almost to himself.

What the..

Gasps loudly, shaking his head.

Fine… Max.

A pause, he watches how the girl disappears behind a corner.

Whispers.

Nice to meet you.
