In an urban town located in east London, the scene is set in a house. The house is almost abandoned due to no sightings from the neighbours of the owner being in the house or anywhere in town.

 

 

Jacqueline: hi I’m Jacqueline, and I have no idea what my life has gotten to. I’ll be so real I could care less about anything I just want to focus on my studies and get the hell out of school. Boys… what are they? Drugs… never seen them. I’m a really good kid. But that day is when everything came crashing down on me.

 

 

Flashback- 2 months ago. Jacqueline is on her way to school and meets up with her 2 friends. They are in a friendly neighbourhood near their school.

 

 

Hannah: JACQUELINE! 

 

Jacqueline: Hello? Oh its you…

 

Khadijah: Why do you sound disappointed? You not happy to see us?

 

Jacqueline:  I’m just messing, always taking my jokes seriously.

 

Jacqueline gets a notification on her phone 

 

Khadijah: Who’s that messaging you?

 

Hannah: Oooo, you got an admirer

 

Jacqueline: what? No I don’t! I’ll check it in a bit.

 

 

After school, Jacqueline gets home and is exhausted from a long day. She gets to her room and decides to check her phone too see who’s messaged her earlier that day.

Jacqueline is texting this anonymous person.

 

Anonymous: Heyyy! How are you?

 

Jacqueline: ermm… who is this and why are you spamming me with messages and calls?

 

Anonymous: sorry was I bothering you? You should’ve answered when you first saw my message. (Talking in a sarcastic tone)

 

Jacqueline: well I’m not going to answer if I don’t even know who you are so can you tell me who you are and maybe I’ll consider not blocking you

 

Anonymous: why does it matter who I am?

 

Jacqueline: fine then I’m just gonna block you then because I don’t really care at this point.

 

Anonymous: wait don’t do that! Fine I’m a guy that goes to your school and you’ve seen me around. That’s all I’m going to tell you so don’t bother asking any more questions 

 

Jacqueline: hmmmm…do you have any lessons with me? Are you in my year group? What’s your name?

 

Anonymous: I told you not to ask any more questions!

 

They carry on talking for the rest of the night.

It’s the next school morning and Jacqueline is on edge trying to figure out who this anonymous guy is.

She bumps into her friends and they notice her strange behaviour.

 

Hannah: Jacqueline! Over here! (Jacqueline doesn’t hear so she yells her name again) Jacqueline!

 

Jacqueline: oh hi, sorry. I didn’t hear you guys, my bad.

 

Khadijah: you ok Jacqueline? You seem lost.

 

Jacqueline: yeah I’m ok just a bit tired today.

 

Hannah: really, you seem on edge. What happened?

 

Jacqueline: (sighs) do you remember when I got bombarded with messages and calls yesterday. Well when I got home I had like hundreds of missed calls from this person and they said they go to our school and see me all the time.

 

Khadijah: well did you find out his name or what year he’s in?

 

Jacqueline: no. He told me to not bother asking him because he wont say. But why would you hide your identity if you want to get to know me?

 

Hannah: yeah that is kind of weird. Personally, I think you should block this person because you never know if they’re telling the truth if you don’t know them.

 

Khadijah: yeah I agree, we’ve always been told to not interact with strangers so you need to be careful.

 

Jacqueline: you’re right. Thanks for looking out for me guys.

 

Jacqueline blocks the number and carries on with her day.

It’s after school again and she is met with many aggressive messages from this anonymous guy but on a different number.

 

Anonymous: why would you block me? Who do you think you are to block me? Imagine listening to your pathetic friends. Do you not have a mind of your own? Your friends are bad influence on you. Don’t worry ill deal with them myself.

 

Jacqueline: what do you mean you’ll deal with it? Leave my friends out of it they were just looking out for me. Like you would do anything anyways.

 

Anonymous reads the message but doesn’t reply. Jacqueline proceeds to block the number anyways and goes about her day.

It’s later on in the day and Jacqueline gets a message from another number. It’s a video of her friends being attacked 

 

Jacqueline: what have I done? This has to be fake, there’s no way this guy was being serious. I need to call them.

 

Jacqueline rings their phone many times but they do not pick up until the 5^th call where one of there mums pick up

 

Jacqueline: hello? Is everything okay please tell me you guys are okay. 

 

Hannah’s mum: hi Jacqueline its Hannah’s mum. Both the girls have been rushed to hospital.

 

Jacqueline: what? Why? Are they ok?

 

Hannah’s mum: I hope they’re ok, I’m not too sure right now were just waiting. If u want, you can come and see them. 

 

Jacqueline rushes to the hospital and realises the severity of the situation. The police then arrive at the hospital to question anyone who was there and who may no of what happened to Khadijah and Hannah.

 

Police officer: what’s your name and how do you know these girls.

 

Jacqueline: my names Jacqueline and they’re my best friends.

 

Police officer: right, do you have any idea who did this to your friends because as of right now we have no leads.

 

Jacqueline: I do know what happened I just don’t know who did it.

 

Police officer: listen girl just tell me everything so they can get justice

 

Jacqueline: I’m telling the truth I genuinely don’t know who did it. But what happened was that I keep getting these random messages from this person and they wont tell me who they are and then my friends were just looking out for me and told me to block them because of stranger danger so I did then this person messaged me on another number basically threatening to hurt my friends and I didn’t believe it but it turns out they weren’t lying.

 

Police officer: so you’re telling me you’re being stalked. Jacqueline I’m going to need proof of this because this sounds crazy.

 

Jacqueline: here take my phone its all the proof you need

 

The police take her phone and start an investigation. Jacqueline is then free to go home. She’s on her way home when she gets a feeling that she’s being followed.

 

Jacqueline: why is this happening? I hope they catch the person that did this to them.

 

Sound of a picture being taken.

 

Jacqueline: huh? There’s nothing here to even be taking a picture of. Maybe I’m just hearing things.

 

The sound of pictures being taken happen again and again to the point where it sounds like its being taken right next to her

 

Jacqueline: Who’s there! Leave me alone. Why do you keep bothering me, what’s so special about me.

 

Stay tuned in the next episode to find out who is taking pictures of Jacqueline...
