SYNOPSIS

1: 
1 main character [girl]. Starts off with her getting ready, we see an in site to her life, what she likes, how she acts. We then see her later with a group of friends, she doesn’t particularly get along with them, she is the outsider of the group. One close friend [any gender]. They have a conversation about going somewhere else, [friend] thinks its wrong to want to leave [girl] thinks its right {conflict between them}. Reason why she wants to go is because she doesn’t fit it; disagrees with what everyone thinks, wants to explore the world more, not be held back with a set lifestyle. Set in a small town, main places we see is her room, and a park. Somewhere simple that everyone can recognize. [girl] doesn’t end up running away/leaving. She’s in every shot and wants to leave because she doesn’t relate to everyone she is around, no-one understands her and she feels like she doesn’t have a purpose of being there, she wants to do bigger things in the world but can’t because of set lifestyles, money and rules of society. No other places other than the town will be featured. We see her group of friends having a conversation, that she’s hardly involved in, however, we hear their voices and see them but we do not learn who the characters are, having a conversation about how they want to be when they grow up (all in the set lifestyle), completely different to how [girl] wants her life to be. {conflict between opinions}. [girl] keeps some sort of diary so the audience can see how she's really  feeling inside, so the audience know what she can't say to anyone because no-one really agrees with her.

It was a summers afternoon and 5 friends were sitting in a park casually having a laugh and a good time. Friend [1] brought up that there was a party that evening and because it was a summers holiday they should all go. In the end they all agreed, some more reluctant than others. 

A couple of hours later, we see our main character, Robin, getting ready. It starts off that she is writing in a diary about how she hates going out and wishes she isn’t where she is. Her phone then lights up with a message saying that her friend was outside. Robin had to rush to get ready, this included: adding another layer of concealer to one (maybe more) of her cuts, shoving pills in her bag, grabbing a jacket and running out of the door. 

After a big rush, Robin and her friend, Alex, was in the car. Alex gave Robin a reassuring smile and says that s(he) isn’t going to let her/his friend be on her own tonight and will always be by her side. 

As expected, it was the party and Robin was on her own, sitting on the stairs, looking at everyone socializing, while they were ignoring the fact that Robin was on her own, bored. She looked so fed up and let down by her friend. She checked her bag to make sure the pills were still there. Just as Robin poured her drink she opened her pills but got pushed by her friend, Alex, running past her, in tears because she has just been arguing with a boy. She looks at the pills on the table and then rushes to follow her friend. 

After a very eventful time she found her friend in the bathroom still crying. Her friend starts to explain what happened with the boy, and that she wishes she wasn’t there because she doesn’t fit in. Something then clicked in Robin, to say enough is enough and they need to stop thinking like that. She helps her friend get up and ready and then they both leave the toxic party.
