          INT. SUGUARMOUNT SENIOR HIGH MR LANDRYS CHEMISTRY CLASS

          MR LANDRY is standing by his desk, pointing at the board, explaining
          a chemistry problem. The class appears to be bored. TYLER
          BUTTLER and MARK STAGGER are anxius, nervous looking. MARK
          fumbles with his pencil. DEREK BEYIT sits at his desk, calm,
          and taking notes from the board. He glares at MARK, who now
          looks intently at the board, staring into the abyss. VENESSA and
          NATALIE DOUMONT look at each other. NATALIE takes a a piece
          of her chemistry notes, writes down a note, then passes it
          on to VENESSA. The note reads: 'I saw MINAMI walking to
          school this morning. Where is she?" VENESSA shrugs, then
          leans forward.

                              VENESSA
                         (Whispering) Come to think of
                         it, I haven't seen KAYLA here
                         this morning either.

                              MR LANDRY
                    Girls! Passing notes and whispering
                    during my lectures?

          VENESSA and NATALIE both jump, startled by the sudden appearance
          of their teacher.

                              NATALIE
                    Sorry sir.

          MR LANDRY goes to speak when the bell rings. The twins pick up
          their things and leave the room swiftly.

          INT. SUGUARMOUNT SENIOR HIGH HALLWAY

          Students rush about to get to their next class, while some take
          their time and chat on their cell phones. Others go to their
          lockers, searching for an item they have forgotten. DEREK,
          MARK, and TYLER was seen walking down the hall.

                              MARK
                    DEREK, I think the twins are on to
                    us.

                              TYLER
                    No they are not.

                              MARK
                    Uh huh!

                              DEREK
                    Shut up! Their just noticing there
                    not at school. They don't have a
                    clue it's us.

          INT. CAMPBELLTON MILL

          MR CONNERY is reading the morning newspaper when the phone suddenly
          rings, startling her. MR CONNERY looks at the phone. He
          screws up his face in a scowl.

                              MR CONNERY
                    Darn school again. What the hell do
                    they want now? TRAVIS better not be
                    in trouble again.

          He picks up the phone.

                              MR CONNERY
                    Hello?

                              SUGUARMOUNT PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE
                    This is the Vice-Principal of
                    Suguarmount Senior High, MR RODD. I
                    am calling to inform you that your
                    son or daughter has missed

          MRS CONNERY hangs up the phone, looking very unpleased.

                              MRS CONNERY
                    TRAVIS CONNERY when you get home.

          INT. CAMPBELLTON AN OLD ABANDONED HOUSE

          MINAMI is seen lying on the basement floor in the dark, bleeding.
          A dark figure is kneeled over MINAMI, hand outreached.

                              THE FIGURE
                         (Whispers) Hey!

          The figure touches MINAMI. MINAMI winces in pain, then
          slowly opens her eyes.

                              MINAMI
                    Erg..... Wha? <Ow....>

          MINAMI slowly sits up a blinks.

                              THE FIGURE
                    MINAMI!

                              MINAMI
                    Wha? Who are-?

          The figure hugs MINAMI, then let's go almost as fast. MINAMI takes
          a look at the figure, who looks well beaten. Before MINAMI
          can realize who it is, the figure speaks again.

                              THE FIGURE
                    They got to you to!

                              MINAMI
                    KAYLA? Is that you?

          The light shines on the figure, revealing her true identity.

                              KAYLA
                    Yeah. I've been here since after
                    the Talent show. On my way home,
                    these 3 guys came up to me and
                    started throwing rocks at me, then
                    they forced me here. I haven't been
                    able to sleep a wink.

          As KAYLA speaks, a flash back shows her words.

                              MINAMI
                    Why? What did we do?

          KAYLA shrugs. MINAMI looks around.

                              MINAMI
                    What do we do now?

                              KAYLA
                    Get out. That's what.

          KAYLA looks to the door.

                              KAYLA
                    The question is how.

          MINAMI gets up then stumbles towards the door. She takes a good
          look at it then does a powerful back kick. MINAMI falls back
          to the ground, but the door does not budge.

                              KAYLA
                    The door is barred on the outside
                    you know.

          MINAMI is seen rubbing her foot.

                              MINAMI
                    Yeah. Thanks for the info. Have you
                    looked around the place? Maybe
                    theres another exit. (To herself)
                    Like a portal to another world or
                    something cool like that.

                              KAYLA
                    No. I was too afraid to move. (To
                    herself) You and your portals.

                              MINAMI
                    Well then, what are we waiting for.

          MINAMI limps past KAYLA and begins to feel around, looking
          for an exit.

                              MINAMI
                    Aha!

                              KAYLA
                    WHAT?

                              MINAMI
                    I found something!

                              KAYLA
                    I repeat, what?!

                              MINAMI
                    Hehe. A business card!

                              KAYLA
                    MINAMI!

                              MINAMI
                    I can add this to my collection....

          KAYLA rolls her eyes, while MINAMI inspects the card.

                              MINAMI
                    Spiffy. It's in Japanese...

                              KAYLA
                    There's got to be a way out-

                              MINAMI
                         (To herself)Hey someone wrote
                         on the back!

                              KAYLA
                    Here. Maybe if we move some of
                    those crates, (if that's what they
                    are), we might find a door or
                    something.

          MINAMI squints, trying to read the writing.

                              MINAMI
                         (To herslef) DEREK....
                         (Mumble) See you soon
                         (Mumble)(Gasp)

          KAYLA turns around to look at MINAMI

                              KAYLA
                    What now?

                              MINAMI
                    I.... I know that writing.

                              KAYLA
                    So? It's not going to help us get
                    out of here.

                              MINAMI
                         (To herself) Well, the card is
                         in Japanese, but that's not
                         important. It's just a regular
                         business card for some random
                         place. It's what on the back,
                         written in English that got my
                         attention.

                              KAYLA
                    Let me see it.

          MINAMI hands over the card to KAYLA. KAYLA takes a good look
          at the card and reads it aloud.

                              KAYLA
                    DEREK, I am so happy to have meet
                    you. See you soon. Don't tell,
                    means no lies.

          KAYLA looks up.

                              KAYLA
                    DEREK... I think I know someone by
                    that name.

                              MINAMI
                    Well, you do. He's the guy who
                    brought me here, and by the looks
                    of it, you too. (Narrative
                    Bubble)Where have I seen this
                    writing before?

                              KAYLA
                    That's it, we got to get out of
                    here!

                              MINAMI
                    Snaps! I know where I seen it!

                              KAYLA
                    Where?

                              MINAMI
                    My place, the night of the murder.

          Suddenly, up above, a noise could be heard.
THIS IS IT! The revised Chapter 2: Trapped. Just to let you know, I changed a few things in Chapter one to help make more sense of the story, (& fixed a few spelling mistakes). But incase you don't feel like checking it, here's the main one you need to know: Kayla Connery is a Canadian born half-Japanese, half-Irish girl. You'll need to know that for later. Most likely the next chapter.

Oh & trust me, there is a reason for what happens to Minami. It will be explained later. (So it may not go entirely with the main plot, but you will see).

For now, please, read the ENTIRE thing, (I know it's a lot), & comment if you can. It will be very much appreciated.

Enjoy!

A little about the story:

Minami Kyuki's hearts a battle ground of despair. Faced with more difficulties in her life than the normal teen, Minami copes by living one day at a time. But how long before the tragic evens of her past haunts her to her death?

Please let me know what you think. I know, a lot of reading, but it will be more interesting in comic form, I'm sure.

Since Silent Tears is a comic, and I don't really know how to write scripts for comics, I had to improvise on a few things. Here are a few explanations:

<> = Minami is speaking her native tounge, Japanese.

(Narrative Bubble) = This is when you see those square boxes. Basically the character is telling stuff to the audience. There not really talking to them self's, there just informing the audience about some stuff on the side. Like a narration would do in a live action. (Man it'd be so much easier to just show you).

(To him / her self) = This is when the text id really small inside the same text bubble. So there kind of like talking to them self's. But not, or perhaps not being heard.
