EXT. A DARK AND LONG HALLWAY OF A SCHOOL
JAYLON walks into the hallway clearly thinking to himself.
"He" walks further and further into the hallway while walking
past people who are blurred out.
The floor breaks and JAYLON falls in

JAYLON LANDS IN A EVEN DARKER ROOM AND IS SURROUNDED BY THE

BLURRY PEOPLE WHO LAUGH AND THROW STUFF AT HIM.

"HE" GETS UP AND TRIES TO RUN AWAY ONLY ENCOUNTERING MORE

BLURRY PEOPLE.

FINALLY, "HE" RUNS INTO A MIRROR. AT FIRST "HE" SEES HIS

REFLECTION BUT THEN HIS REFLECTION TAUNTS HIM AND TURNS INTO
A CREATURE THE SAME SIZE AS HIM WEARING A TRENCH COAT AND
ATTACKS "HIM"
CUT TO:

EXT. A MESSY ROOM WITH FAINT DAYLIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW AND
A DOOR CREEKING OPEN ALONG WITH A MIRROR NEAR THE BED

JAYLON WAKES UP IN A COLD SWEAT

JAYLON
(breathing very fast)
"he" looks around very quickly, it is morning.
Knocking is heard.
GERALD walks in and points behind him.
JAYLON nods and gets out of the bed.
CUT TO:

EXT. A SMALL KITCHEN WITH A ROUND TINY TABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF

IT WITH ONLY TWO CHAIRS
JAYLON walks in with a tired expression and with a
schoolboy's uniform on.
"he" sits down and faintly looks around the kitchen unfazed.
 2.

JAYLON snaps out of "his" thoughts as "his" adoptive father

walks in the kitchen fully dressed and starts preparing a
meal for them.
CUT TO:
The clock now says 5:30
GERALD lays down some eggs and bacon on his and JAYLONS
plate.
They both start eating.
JAYLON is very tense and is sweating and is eating rather
quickly.
CUT TO:
The clock now says 5:40
GERALD is cleaning up and is washing dishes with a cold
emotionless face.
CUT TO:

EXT. THE ROOM WE SAW A FEW MINUTES EARLIER BUT CLEANER AND
WITH THE CLOSET DOOR OPEN
JAYLON puts a few books into a bag along with pencils,
calculators and folders.

"he" looks up at the photo of him and his adoptive father

with "him" smiling and GERALD still having the cold
emotionless face hanging from the wall which causes "him"
smiles lightly but then it drops as "he" sees something on
the floor.
JAYLON hovers over it and picks it up and at first, "he"
looks disappointed but then "he" looks at the mirror.
"he" looks more dissatisfied at "his" reflection; he quickly
looks in "his" closet and sees that some are schoolgirl
skirts, and some are of "his" regular uniform.
CUT TO:
JAYLON then has the skirt and suddenly starts smiling.
"he" then looks in the mirror and starts doing poses and
funny faces.
CUT TO:
 3.

JAYLON now has a suit on while smiling and is making more

poses as if "he's" someone else.
CUT TO:
JAYLON now has the schoolboy uniform vest and the schoolgirls
skirt.
"he" looks shy looking at the mirror, but then "his" own
reflection starts moving on his own.
"his" reflection makes two thumbs up and slowly runs
JAYLON looks confused and tries to run after the reflection,
"he" then manages to go through the mirror.
CUT TO:

EXT. AN OCEAN WITH YELLOW, RED AND WHITE COLORS FLOWING

THROUGH AND A SUNSET FLOWING THROUGH
JAYLON at first starts falling after he goes through the
mirror but then he falls on top of a walrus casually swimming
by.
"he" then looks around and sees a bunch of people wearing
masks that cover they're face.
At first "he" looks scared, but the people start greeting
"him" and cheering him on while "he's" still on the walrus.
"he" almost forgets "he's" still wearing a schoolgirl skirt.
Until one of the people point to "him".
At first "he" looks terrified as "he" just now realized until
"he" sees "his" reflection Infront of "him."
"His" reflection is a clearer version of "him". "his"
reflection looks at him with a smile and does "his" two
thumbs up.
A montage of JAYLON and "his" reflection doing fun and crazy
stuff while one riding a walrus and another a dolphin as the
masked people cheers on
Montage ends when JAYLON sees THE UNOWN TRENCH COAT MAN
blending in with the masked people.
JAYLON's eyes slowly widen, and "his" face turns into a
scared one.
"his" hands start shaking as everything goes in slow motion.
 4.

JAYLON then immediately looks back at "his" reflection which

isn't there anymore and "his" expression gets more scared.
"he" turns "his" head and sees "his" reflection on a
platform.
"his" reflection gestures for "him" to jump down.
JAYLON jumps down and sees the trench coat guy running up to
"him."
Instead of running to "his" reflection, "he" runs in the
opposite direction leaving "his" reflection with a confused
expression.
THE UNKOWN TRENCH COAT MAN seems to be everywhere in JAYLONS
vision.
The one peaceful masked people turn into THE UNKOWN MASKED
PERSON as JAYLON is running deeper and deeper in.
CUT TO:
The place becomes more and more distorted and dark as JAYLON
runs, looking around frantically.

EXT. AN OCEAN WITH A DARKER TINT OF BLUE AND THE SKY NOW
BEING DARK AND BLACK
JAYLON runs into someone and trips, "he" looks up and THE
UNKOWN TRENCH COAT MAN stands Infront of "him". JAYLON tries
to get up but THE UNKOWN TRENCH COAT MAN keeps "him" from
running away.
JAYLON
(breathing really fast)
THE UNKOWN TRENCH COAT MAN Stands Infront of "him"
JAYLON covers "his" head and looks at THE UNKOWN TRENCH COAT
MAN in fear.
Time suddenly stops, and "his" reflection comes on the
screen. JAYLON then looks up at where "his" reflection is as
their footsteps are clearly noticeable.
JAYLON'S reflection pushes away THE UNKOWN TRENCH COAT MAN,
and he disintegrates Thanos style.
JAYLON'S eyes widen as "his" reflection goes up to "him" with
a concerned look.
 5.

"his" reflection sits next to JAYLON and does "his" two

thumbs up.
JAYLON then looks at "his" reflection with a skeptical look.
Until "he" sees the kind smile on "his" face.

CUT TO:
JAYLON then suddenly snaps out of "his" thoughts.
Knocking at his door is heard.
JALYON frantically looks for "his" uniform
CUT TO:

GERALD WALKS IN
JAYLON has his uniform on and "his" backpack ready.
GERALD puts up three fingers and JAYLON nods
He leaves leaving JAYLON alone
"he" looks at the skirt on the ground then "he" looks in the
mirror.
CUT TO:

EXT. A FRONT PORCH WITH A SIDEWALK TO A SCHOOL

JAYLON and GERALD standing on porch looking at each other
GERALD looks at them and smiles for the first time while
slowly reaching out his hand to pat them on the head.
A school bell rings
JAYLON goes to hug their adoptive father and he awkwardly
hugs back.
JAYLON starts walking on sidewalk towards the school smiling.
JAYLON puts the pin in their pocket as they walk off the
screen.
CUT TO BLACK.
