INT: A classroom in a high school. Kids are sitting doing work quietly. They look bored.
All of a sudden the FIRE ALARM goes off, and the students jolt up in an alert position.
TEACHER
Okay kids, fire drill.
The kids slowly file out of the class, taking their jackets and bags with them.
INT: The first floor hallway. A long open hall with a door at the end we can see. There is another door about halfway between where we are and the end door. The hall begins to fill with more students who walk relaxed and care-free toward the nearest exit. We still hear the FIRE ALARM, and now hear students TALKING.
We cut to a close up on the kids walking into the stairwell that also leads outside. One kid looks behind him cautiously to make sure no teachers can see him. He then bolts down toward the door at the end of the hallway. Two others follow.
INT: The stairwell. We cut to see a river of kids flowing through the stairwell hallway, more coming from upstairs.
EXT: The front of the school. We cut again to the students walking out of the school. We pan across following a group of students who walk down to the curb and onto the road. While we pan across with the group, two students bolt across the grass and down the hill at the end of the school yard. The same direction as the other kids that escaped inside the school ran.
More students follow the two that ran as we move upward, revealing what has now evolved into a sea of students as the last few make their way out of the school.
CROSS FADE:
INT: Back in the classroom. We are facing the teacher who looks side to side. A depressed angry look appears on her face as we cut to her view, revealing an empty class.
TEACHER:
At this point we can cut to the kids that escaped enjoying some product somewhere, if this is to be in commercial format. If it is just a short film, it ends here.
FADE OUT:
