CHARACTERS:
*ੈ✩‧₊˚─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───✧˖*°࿐
Name: ARIA
Played by: Lydia Westhoff
MBTI type: INJF-T
Style: Coquette, feminine, girly. Flowy skirts, baggy clothing, dainty
jewellery, light makeup.
Age: Unknown
Colour palette: White, pinks, pastels. These grow into more lively
colours as time goes on, this means developing into colours such
as green, orange, yellow. Colours that symbolise hope, happiness
and growth. We do see her fade into colours such as blue and
greys at times, but she always comes back.
Music taste: Clairo, Beabadoobee, Suki Waterhouse, Lizzy
McApline.
Personality: Soft, all sweet, friendly, popular. She seems a lot more
put together than she actually is, she hides her troubles away from
the world. A constant push over in a group full of self-absorbed
snobs. She’s a giver, not a taker. Yet with all this love, she has
none for herself. However, she is a lovable character, sweet and
trying to be optimistic.
6
Name: RYDER
Played by: Iban Kelly
MBTI Type: INTJ-T
Style: Grunge, dark, emo, baggy clothes
Clothing types: Baggy clothes, graphic tees, leather jackets, boots,
scruffy clothing, glasses.
Age: Unknown.
Colour Palette: Dark Colours, blacks, navy. As time goes on, he
wears accents of brighter colours, greens and oranges, to show
his development. Towards the end of the production, he finds
himself wearing brighter colours, there are still remanets of him old
self, his leather jacket, glasses, but he’s wearing something a bit
more out there, to show he’s come full circle to finally accept
himself.
Music Taste: Nirvana, Slowdive, Foo Fighters, Weezer,
Radiohead
Personality: He is very reserved, his small group of friends and
that is it. He keeps to himself, never branching out, if he does, it’s
never on purpose. Seemingly trustworthy as he speaks to us, and
we believe him, learn to trust him back, before it is revealed, he is
indeed a liar. We turn to dislike the character at first,
uncomfortable with ever believing them again, but as he grows to
speak with Aria, he grows, meshing his personality with hers, and
we see a better side to him.
Character Type: The Narcissistic on the outside, and towards our
audience, he’s an unreliable narrator towards us, and we don’t
start to find out until later into story, we are believed to trust him
with how open he is at the begging of our story, but we soon learn
he has been lying to us.
Struggles with: Family issues, sexuality.
8
Name: BARBIE
Played By: Abbey Davis
MBTI Type: ESFP-A
Style: It girl, very modern, very trendy, little layers, Mean girls
inspired
Clothing Type: Skirts, flared jeans, boots, little jewellery
Age: Unknown
Colour Palette: White, pink, purples, blues, silvers.
Music Type: Pop music – Nelly Furtado, MARINA, Oliva
Rodrigo, Doja Cat
Personality: Barbie is the girl. Everyone wants to either be her
or be with her. She comes across as perfect, the girl everyone
wants to be friend with and idolises. She’s quite lovely,
especially to her friend Aria, who she seems rather protective
over. She’s known by basically everyone, always stopping for a
chat and to compliment another girl’s outfit or hair or nails.
She’s a little disorganised, she tries her hardest, but somethings
always forgotten. Her rooms a tip, a disaster, compared to the
gorgeous idea she paints in everyone’s head.
Character Type: The foil.
Struggles With: Sexuality, she pretends to be ok with the Jock,
but despises them for how they treat others, and she can’t
escape them. She tries to, but they always guilt her back into
being ‘friends’.
Friends: Aria and the Jock. Her and the jock have a messy
history, from kids, to some sort of situation-ship to
acquaintances to people in the same friend group. She doesn’t
know how to tell Jock that she doesn’t seem them that way,
and instead, is interested in someone else.
Relationship Status: Single.
10
Name: ECCENTRIC
Played By: Keya Bagha
MBTI Type: ENFP-T
Style: Loud, layers, Helen Bonham-carter, Mob wife.
Clothing Type: Layered, different textures, lots of colours, funky
hair dos, lots of jewellery.
Age: Unknown
Colour Palette: Any colour she wants or feels like, can be mixes
of colours or a completely one toned outfit.
Music Type: Mazzy Star, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Nancy
Sinatra
Personality: The eccentric is very loud and extroverted. She makes
friends with anyone and everyone who she can but will always
come back to those who are closest to her – Anchor and Ryder.
She loves them to pieces, but has no sense of when to stop
speaking, and can often get caught up in her own world, talking
and babbling on constantly, without a thought in the world.
That’s perfectly fine up until she disregards her friends’ emotions
and expects their entire agreement with her statements – which
Anchor happily goes along with.
Character Type: The eccentric.
Struggles With: A manipulative partner/toxic relationship. She
can’t find the strength to love, because ‘they love each other’,
Friends: Anchor and Ryder. She is very obviously closer to
Anchor than anyone else but tries with Ryder. Ryder and her
12
have a very rocky friendship, they often disagree and get into
mini arguments, while Anchor tries his hardest to keep them on
the same page, and keep arguments at bay. Eccentric and Anchor
are obviously closer of the trio, she and him are like Hitchcock
and Scully, they get along like two peas in a pod, and are
completely hilarious when they hang out (and there isn’t a
situation at hand).
Relationship Status: It’s complicated. Her and Jock, can
never ever seem to be on the same page, they’re always out,
acting awfully, and she lets them back in without a second
thought.
Name: ANCHOR
13
Name: JOCK
Played By: Alex Kittle
MBTI Type: ESTP-A
Style: Masculine, jeans, jackets, baggy tops, hats,
trainers, very basic wear, normally bland colours
with a pop with his shoes or top or jacket. Only
ever wears a chain and maybe two rings.
Clothing Type: Jeans, hoodies, trainers, a chain and
two rings.
Age: Unknown
Colour Palette: Reds, Navy, white, grey, black, bland
with pops of colour.
Music Type: Central cee, The weeknd, Post Malone,
Drake.
Personality: Arrogant, a mean, manipulative person.
They keep people around for an ego boost, for
someone to agree with them, anything that does
good. For themselves. It doesn’t matter whose
feelings they hurt in the process, as long as they
feel like they are on top of the world. Looks like
someone is over-compensating for something.
Character Type: The player.
Struggles With: Being in a relationship with someone
they don’t care about, just to prove people they
can last in a relationship, and then cheating.
Being a pain in the ass overall.

SCRIPT
*ੈ✩‧₊˚─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───✧˖*°࿐
SCENE ONE: INT. RYDER BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING.
17
WOMEN
(yelling)
RYDER YOU NEED TO GET UP.
CUTS TO:
RYDER
(whispering to the camera/low tone)
My parents' marriage is like a bad
horror movie – you keep waiting for
the inevitable split, but it just
keeps dragging on.
MUM/DAD
Morning Ryder. Sleep well?
RYDER
Yeah. About as good as one can get.
MUM/DAD
That doesn't sound mysterious at all.
RYDER
Didn't intend it that way.
(turns to the camera)
It's the same conversation, day
in, day out. and then mum/dad will say.
RYDER
19
CUTS TO:
FADES TO BLACK:
CUTS TO:
ECCENTRIC
She's gone and told me she's been
with BARBIE. But because they've been
friends for years, that it doesn't matter.
RYDER
Eccentric. I am telling you. Leave
him. She's no good.
JOCK
She's over-reacting AGAIN. Me and Barbie
made out so what. Me and her and like
best friends. I don't get the issue.
ARIA
If she's annoying you should break up
with her. Save you two the heartbreak
any longer.
Both characters sigh and turn their phones off. The train
DOOR OPENS, and they're at their stop. The two of them
get off at their stations and disappear.
CUTS TO:
ARIA
(whisper)
I hear you and JOCK made out again.
Why won't you just date her?
BARBIE
(hushed tone)
What? I don't think I want to do that.
Sure, she's a good kisser, she’s... she's
just not my type.
ARIA
What is your type then?
BARBIE
(embarrassed, looking away)
Someone... nice, pretty, sweet. I don't
care about looks. I just want someone
with a bit more heart than her.
ARIA
(nods)
No yeah, I get that.
BARBIE
Yeah? Yeah. Of course it does. I said it.
CUTS TO:
RYDER
(looking at his book in his hand)
Hello.
ECCENTRIC
She's so annoying!
RYDER
(turns to face the camera)
Yeah, I'm good thanks. My parents are
back to their screaming matches, and
I would rather not be there. How are
23
you Eccentric?
ECCENTRIC
Well, not particularly.
LEO
Don't you think it's time you move on?
RYDER
(to the camera)
No she doesn't.
(to ECCENTRIC)
Are you sure she loves you?
RYDER
She doesn't mean it I suppose.
But it still stings. She just needs
a release of energy.
RYDER
Come on, you know I didn't mean
it that way. I have you're best
interest at heart.
ECCENTRIC
24
(sighs)
I know, I just... I want your support.
RYDER
I've tried. It's just hard when you go
through this every week.
(to the camera)
And I mean... like every week.
RYDER
You know I'm right; I'm just wanting
what's best for you.
ECCENTRIC
I think I just need some time. Do you
want to come with me and ANCHOR for lunch
tomorrow?
RYDER
(sighs)
It won't be all we talk about, will it?
(to the camera)
If it is I might just kill myself there
and then.
ECCENTRIC
Fine.
(sarcastically)
I'm sure I can suffer miserably elsewhere
at another time for your convenience.
CUT TO:
The sky is shown, the sky turning from pink to black, the
sunsetting. Trees, leaves and the clouds moving around
shown. Then cuts to the sun rising, the light shining in.
CUT TO:
LEO
(to the camera)
I just let her babble on. She needs
this release, but it would be great to
get a word in. Mum and Dad have not
stopped screaming all morning, and all
she cares for is her awful partner.
ECCENTRIC
Can you believe she said that to me?!
RYDER
(almost sarcastically)
No! How could she?
ECCENTRIC
(rolls her eyes)
Right, thanks for your input Ryder. Really
means a lot.
RYDER
(to the camera)
She's always so dramatic, but that's how
it is.
(to ECCENTRIC)
Sorry, I just feel like you could be in
such a better place without her. But
you keep going back. And we've been
talking about this for hours now.
ECCENTRIC
I'm just upset.
26
RYDER
Well, Anchor is here to help you now.
(to the camera)
Not like you'll take any of our advice
anyways.
ANCHOR
He said that?!
ECCENTRIC
Exactly! See, he gets it Ryder.
RYDER
I never said that I didn't. I just
find it strange how you just keep
going back to him.
(to the camera)
Is this all we're gonna ever talk
about.
27
ANCHOR
Let the poor girl have her moment. It's
obviously been a hard time for our friend.
She needs our support.
RYDER
(to the camera)
She needs to seek professional help.
Or a new partner maybe not one who
cheats on their partner maybe?
(CONT'D to the pair)
Why don't we change the topic? I
think we've both had enough of this.
ANCHOR
On to a lighter topic, sure.
RYDER
(sarcastic)
Or just something that isn't based on
Eccentric's oh so interesting life.
ECCENTRIC
And your life is just so much better
yeah?
RYDER
Well, it's not like you would ever
know. You never listen or ask.
ANCHOR
Right, I think that's enough guys.
Maybe we should take a break. Head
into a few shops or something.
RYDER
No, no. Don't let me ruin the fun,
you lot go on without me.
CUTS TO:
ARIA
(whisper yelling)
Hey! I saw that first.
RYDER
Should've been faster.
ARIA
That's actually my favourite book.
And I'd like to have it back.
RYDER
Can't have something back if it wasn't
in your possession in the first place.
ARIA
(joking tone)
Unbelievable.
RYDER
Aw, it's ok you can have it.
(holds the book out to her)
29
ARIA
Oh really?
(reaches out to grab it)
RYDER
(pulls the book back to him)
After... I am done with it.
ARIA
Right. And how will I know when that it?
RYDER
You'll just know.
ARIA
(nods)
I have to go, but I better see
that book soon.
RYDER
(laughs)
Sure, I'm sure you'll get it.
Eventually.
Aria WALKS away, out of the screen. And the world around
Ryder grows brighter, and he leaves the scene too.
30
CUTS TO:
BARBIE
Are you guys finally done?
JOCK
Yeah. Yes. I think so, at least.
It goes quiet again. Jock and Barbie EATS FOOD and SIPS
THEIR DRINKS. But Aria sit's there quietly, hugging her
bag to her chest.
BARBIE
Aria? You're not eating, are you ok?
ARIA
(to the camera)
Oh no.
(CONT'D to BARBIE)
Oh yeah, all good.
BARBIE
Are you sure?
ARIA
(to the camera)
Oh no.
(CONT'D to BARBIE)
Oh yeah, don't worry about me.
JOCK
Stop worrying so much. She looks
fine to me.
BARBIE
She just looks so.. pale. Have you
eaten today?
31
ARIA
(to the camera)
Oh no. Oh no.
(CONT'D)
Yeah. Ate a big breakfast is all.
(to the camera)
Yesterday. Way too much. Way, way too
much. I need to be more careful.
BARBIE
Oh. Ok, just.. would rather be
overly cautious than loose you.
JOCK
Ok, well then. I'll be on my way. I've got
things to be doing.
BARBIE
Yeah, I think I got somewhere to be.
I'll see you lot later, call me if
you need anything ARIA.
Aria nods and stays seated. She goes into her bag and
PULLS OUT HER BOOK FROM HER BAG and headphones as the
others leave.
CUTS TO:
ARIA is the last person in the coffee shop, the other two
have left and is now sat reading, thinking about
everything that was said.
ARIA
(to the camera)
I don't know what's going on between
BARBIE and JOCK, but I wish they would
sort it out. It's too much. I can never
32
RYDER
(to the camera)
Oh! Would you look who it is. The
almost book thief.
(to ARIA)
Are you stalking me now? You'll get
the book soon, I promise.
ARIA
It's more like you're stalking me.
RYDER
I would never.
ARIA
Mhm. Sure. Have you finished the
book yet?
RYDER
Woah! Patience. I like to take my
time reading. Put some music on, get
comfy.
ARIA
Well can you hurry up quicker. I would
like the book back.
RYDER
(holds his hands up)
It's at my house. Sorry girl. I don't
exactly want to be there right now
either, so it might take some time.
ARIA
Oh, how come?
33
RYDER
(to the camera)
Is- is she asking me? about my life?
This is weird. I almost don't want to
say anything now.
(to ARIA)
Oh. My parents I guess. They could have
at least 12 podcast episodes with how
much they argue.
ARIA
That's crazy. Are they divorced?
RYDER
No, they're together. for us kids
I suppose. But I wished they would
break up.
ARIA
That makes sense. I guess the
separation would do them some good,
rather than them constantly at one
another's throats.
RYDER
Exactly my thoughts! I wished that
they would just shut and go their
separate ways. It's only making things
worse.
ARIA
I'm sure they will soon. Have they
tried couple counselling? My friends
parents did that and they are getting
better, slowly. But it's better than what
they were.
RYDER
(nods)
That's a good idea actually. I think I'll
recommend that too them. Hopefully I
can get a good nights sleep without the
yelling.
34
ARIA
Always happy to help. You can repay
me with that book.
RYDER
(laughs)
Yeah. Ok fine. Give me like two days,
and we'll meet back here, and I'll
give it to you.
CUT TO:
The sky is shown, the sky turning from pink to black, the
sunsetting. Trees, leaves and the clouds moving around
shown. Then cuts to the sun rising, the light shining in.
CUT TO:
SCENE SEVETEEN:
MONTAGE
RYDER and ARIA are sat in the cafe, laughing. They are
eating food, drinking coffee and exchanging books.
END MONTAGE
CUT TO:
RYDER and ARIA are stood down a high street, staring down
at the road of clothes and food places. Aria looks
uncomfortable. CARS DRIVING PAST, PEOPLE WALKING DOWN THE
STREET, it's a decently busy day.
ARIA
How about we just go back to the
library?
RYDER
Boring! Why are you so reluctant?
It's just a bit of shopping.
ARIA
I just don't like shopping, never
have, never will.
RYDER
What? But isn't that like every girl's
dream? To be able to shop until she
drops or runs out of money.
ARIA
That's my worst nightmare.
(to the camera)
I can't. I hate having to see the
sizes that don't fit me. I'm too
36
RYDER
Hello? Where did you just go?
ARIA
What? Nowhere?
RYDER
I know that look. I have that look.
What were you thinking?
ARIA
Just about the books in the library.
RYDER
Ha. Ha. real funny. Fine. You don't
have to tell me now, but at least
let’s go get some food.
ARIA
No. I can't. Too full.
RYDER
You haven't eaten all day you can't
be full.
ARIA
Ok, then I'm too tired. Just drop it.
RYDER
I notice that you don't eat by the way.
I didn't want to approach it this way.
But I'm starting to get really worried.
RYDER
37
ARIA
I don't know how to speak to anyone
about it. It's so embarrassing.
RYDER
There's people who can help you.
You are not alone.

two characters, their friends cannot know, especially not with this ‘feud’ going on
as the two characters go through a messy breakup. The library is then labelled as
their secret meetup spot, they meet there every once in a while, reading and

my life easier than bringing in mugs and drinks. Another great thing is the pool table, the
