1    EXT. HIGH SCHOOL-SATURDAY 10 A.M.                                                                                  1
    FADE IN
    MAC TOPIN is standing outside of his high school after driving there for his Saturday detention. He grabs his phone from his pocket and dials a number and then puts the phone to his ear. While he's talking, a mysterious hooded figure stands a few feet from him without Mac noticing.
                                                                                MAC
             Yes Mom, I’m here. I don’t get why I have to be here. It wasn’t my fault. Okay fine.
    A teacher opens one of the doors to enter the school and looks at Mac in a way that was like he's inspecting him.
                                                                          TEACHER
                                       You the punk kid who has detention on a weekend?
                                                                    MAC (sarcastically)

Yes officer!

TEACHER

Don’t be smart with me, boy. Get in here!

    Mac enters the school and the mysterious hooded figure walks right where Mac was standing before going in.

2    INT. HALLWAY-10:08                                                                                                                     2
    MAC GETS INTO the hallway and follows the teacher to wherever he is supposed to stay for detention. The hooded figure is standing right outside looking in through the glass and stops the door from closing completely and goes in without being noticed.

3    INT. CLASSROOM-10:11                                                                                                                3
    MAC FOLLOWS the teacher in to one of the English classrooms and gives him three pieces of paper and a pen to write with.

TEACHER

All right, smart-aleck, you’re going to stay in here for the next four hours. In those four hours you’re going to write about what that poor kid is probably going through right now. What do you think this is MythBusters? This will teach you some manners.

MAC

It wasn’t my fault that it happened. The kid should be smarter next time.

TEACHER

You snot-nosed brat! You’ll get yours soon.

    The teacher points to the windows.

TEACHER

To ensure you don’t go anywhere the windows are closed shut. While all the doors, except the one you got in with are all closed and locked.

    He then points his finger very closely at Mac.

TEACHER

I’ll be going and lock that door too, so this school won’t be opened from both outside and inside without the keys I have. So that way you won’t get out until 2 P.M. That will give you lots of time to reflect on what you did and write your paper.

MAC

Whatever, man.

    Mac grabs his phone and begins texting. Angry, the teacher grabs Mac’s phone from his hand.

MAC (angrily)

Hey!

TEACHER

There’s no having fun in detention, Fonz! Oh, and don’t try to be smart by pulling the fire alarms. They were deactivated so that you don’t get out early.

    The teacher leaves the classroom and then goes outside and locks the door that Mac entered through, thus closing all exits off of the school. As the teacher leaves the hooded figure appears out of the shadows and saw the teacher leave in his car with Mac’s phone.

4    INT. HALLWAY-10:30                                                                                                                     4
    AFTER ONLY WRITING a page of the letter, Mac gets bored and decides to walk around the school to see if there's anything to do while he is stuck at the school. Mac realizes that some of the rooms aren't closed such as the lunch room, the gym, and several other rooms. When he enters the gym he goes to the middle and just feels like screaming very loudly to get his anger out.

MAC (angrily to himself)

Not my fault. It was just a small joke.

    Mac hears the door close behind him and when he turns around he thinks he saw someone wearing mostly black. He goes to the door, opens it and looks out into the hall but sees that no one is out there.

MAC

Is anybody there?

    No answer comes so he gets out of the gym and decides to keep on walking. As he is walking, Mac doesn't notice that the hooded figure is slowly and quietly walking behind him. When Mac hears a noise behind him he turns around and sees no one.

MAC

Hello?

    No answer.

MAC

Must be my stinking imagination, I guess.

    When he turns back around and keeps on walking, the mysterious figure appears behind him and keeps on following him.

5    INT. CLASSROOM-11:20                                                                                                                5
    MAC IS finally finished with writing the paper and decides to eat his lunch. When he looks down to grab his lunch and then stands back up he sees the hooded figure right in front of him.

MAC

Can I help you, Darth Vader?

    The hooded figure does not answer, but just tilts his head to the side.

MAC

Look, I don’t know who you are, but if this is some kind of joke, I’m not laughing.

    Again, there's no answer.

MAC

Whatever this is about, I had no part. How did you get in here anyway?

    The hooded figure walks to the back of the class and then turns around facing Mac. Mac stands up out of his seat and walks to the chalkboard, then turns around facing the unknown figure.

MAC

Listen, if you’re here to check up on me don’t bother. I already finished my paper. I don’t know why I even did it. As far as I’m concerned the kid deserved it, okay Michael Myers.

    Once again there's no answer. However, from behind, the hooded figure removes his hood and reveals to Mac who he is. Mac has a scared and frightened look on his face.

MAC (surprised and scared)

You!

    The hooded figure lunges at him, but Mac runs out of the class before the figure caught him.

6    INT. HALLWAY-11:30                                                                                                                     6
    FOR TEN MINUTES Mac tries to get away from and hide from the hooded figure but to no avail. When he goes into the gym he sees the figure on the other side. He tries opening a bathroom door but it is locked and sees the figure not even running towards him.

MAC (scared)

Oh God!

    He keeps trying to find an exit door, but they are all locked. He tries to hide behind the stairs to the auditorium next to the library but as the hooded figure is walking slowly to the other side he spots Mac.

MAC (scared)

What do you want from me?

    No matter where Mac goes, the mysterious hooded figure would know where he is. Mac couldn’t get out as the doors and windows are locked. He couldn’t call for help as his phone was taken and the fire alarms have been deactivated.  Mac is trapped inside, perfect for the hooded figure.

MAC (scared)

How do I get out of here?

    Mac thinks of going to the lunch room where he could use one of the chairs to break one of the windows and escape. When he gets to the lunch room he grabs a chair. Just as he is about to throw the chair through the window, the hooded figure grabs it from behind him and throws it down. Mac trips and sees the hooded figure slowly walking towards him.

MAC (scared)

No, please! I’m sorry for what I did. It was an accident, honestly!

    The camera focuses on both of them from the back and suddenly fades out just as you hear Mac’s screams.

End.

The Alien Invasion: Their View

Daniel Brizuela                                                                                                                               2/3/12

                                                      The Alien Invasion: Their View.

    On August 29, 2016, an army of aliens arrived at Earth, planning to take over. Normally, stories like this would center on the government and how they plan to defeat them and somehow it’s America that beats them and thanks to someone no one knew arriving at the last minute. However, this is not this story; this story is from the invader’s point of view.

    Inside one of the alien battleships, whose species are the Jyklims and are humanoid except that they have protective exoskeleton on their shoulders, two young Jyklims were dancing to some unknown alien music. The two aliens were drinking some sort of pink liquid that made them seem drunk.
    “That was totally mogp,” said one of the teen Jyklims.
    “Yeah it was, Nurt!” said the second.
    “You know what we should do, Kup?” asked Nurt.
    “What?”
    “We should like,” he began before drinking again, “take over this ship. It’s I’ll be totally Mogp. We could just destroy that little planet filled with those jelly bags, instead of just what everyone is doing and going slow.”
    “Oh, Yeah, I mean why not? No one’s in the bridge right now. It’ll be that easy.”

    When they entered the bridge they decided to take out some sort of small tube and lit it on fire. They then ate the tube and started acting even more crazy, like they were on drugs.
    Nurt started touching every button he saw, which made the ship fire at New Myanmar. Kup, who after noticing what looks like human made rocket ships with nuclear bombs strapped on, they both laughed.
    Just as all of those bombs exploded, which wouldn’t affect the alien ships, Kup pushed the self destruct button for the whole Jyklim army thinking it was for the Earth. All of the alien ships were destroyed, and everyone on Earth thinking that their bombs worked felt safe again.
