Main Task: Script

Fade in to main logo (“Mocking jay pictures”), fade out.
Jean is washing out a glass, checking to make sure that it is perfectly clean. Washes it out a few times. Jean stares off into the distance for a moment. She walks out of the kitchen and into a living room where she sits down opposite an armchair with a picture of her ex-boyfriend Max with a flower next to it. The chair is not shown, made to believe that it has someone sitting on it.
Jean (seductive): So, what do you wanna do? My parents aren’t back till Monday. (pause and giggle) What? Don’t look at me like that… (looks down, shyly)
Jean looks back up, sighs and looks away frustrated.
Jean: Oh my God, this is so stupid!
She gets up and storms back into the kitchen. Reveal that the chair is in fact empty with a picture of Max and a flower underneath. Begin opening credits and opening song.
Jean is walking down a road, going back on herself where there are cracks in the pavement and then continuing. She walks down some steps and stops at the end of an alleyway. A group of three girls and Max are just outside in front of a shop. She takes a look but quickly pulls back. She gets out her phone and snaps a picture of Max.
Jean V.O.: That’s Max, my ex-boyfriend. He’s still in love with me. He just… got a little distracted.
Jean takes another photo, this time of Max kissing his girlfriend, Anna. Jean’s eyes narrow, close up. Zoom in on Anna.
Jean V.O.: Anna Dawson. A.K.A. the new girl who stole my boyfriend. Everyone can tell me he dumped me because of my OCD all they want, but I know it was her fault. Just look at her. Her stupid hair and her stupid clothes. Doesn’t she drive you crazy just by looking at her?
One of the other girls, Lily, sees her.
Lily: (angry) Hey!
Lily and the other girl, Tessa, run towards her. Jean looks around like she is going to run away but doesn’t and stands there looking worried and embarrassed.
Lily: (intimidating) Were you spying on us you little skank?
Jean: (uncomfortable) uh… hey…
Tessa: What did we tell you before, Jean?
Lily: Still think you can get him back? God, you’re having a laugh.
Tessa: (threatening) Leave us alone, or we will make your life a living Hell.
Jean: More than it is already?
Lily: (laughs sarcastically) Freak.
Lily walks off back to Max and Anna. Tessa shoves Jean, glaring. Tessa goes back to the others.
Jean stares after them as they all walk off.
Jean V.O.: I don’t care what it takes. I’m going to get him back.
Fade to black, reveal title “Breaking”
