SCENE 1: HALLUCINATION – “Birthday Surprise”
LOCATION: Community center / Open space (like a backyard party or a park)
Lively atmosphere. Friends gather around Popular Girl, laughing and offering gifts and hugs.
Friend 1: (smiling) Popular girl! Happy birthday! Idol ka talaga!
Friend 2: (hugging) Best girl ever. Deserve mo ‘to!
Extras: (chanting) Popular girl! popular girl! popular girl!
She walks towards a decorated area — balloons, party hats, a "Happy Birthday name!" sign.
Even her parents are there, smiling.
Parents (imaginary): Surprise, anak!
Popular Girl: (tearing up) Grabe, I didn’t expect this… Thank you sobra!
Everyone sings Happy Birthday. She looks around in awe.
*Okaya if park tayo magffilm pwedeng kahit simple picnic lang disregard na na popular girl siya*
SCENE 2: REALITY
LOCATION: Same community space, empty
She blinks — the scene blurs.
Suddenly, the cheers fade.
She's standing alone, smiling, teary-eyed.
Popular Girl: Thank you... Thank you talaga...
Dead silence. A few people nearby glance at her, confused.
Bystander 1: (whispering) Anong ginagawa niya?
Bystander 2: (whispering) Kawawa naman, nabalitaan ko problema raw pamilya niya... kaya
siguro nagkakaganito.
Bystander 3: (sad tone) Dati super lively siya. Parang nawala na lahat.
Bystander 4: (mocking) Uy beh, sinong kinakausap mo dyan? Multo?
(others snicker)
Popular Girl, still confused, tries to gather herself. She sits slowly on a bench. No party setup.
No parents. Nothing.
*Instead of bystanders, pwede old group of friends na kilala siya*
SCENE 3: LEFT BEHIND
LOCATION: Same area, hours later
She falls asleep from exhaustion.
Wakes up — no one’s around anymore.
Popular Girl: (checking phone) Ay! Late na ako!
Rushes to catch up with the group.
She tries talking to others.
Popular Girl: Friend 1! Di ba nag-greet ka sakin kanina?
Friend 1 looks away.
Popular Girl: (to another) Friend 2?
Friend 2: (murmurs) Weirdo.
She freezes. Realization creeps in.
*Pwede here is makakatulog siya sa picnic grounds but then pag gising niya nasa school na sya
(due to hallucinations) then late na siya for next subj
SCENE 4: CONFUSION
LOCATION: Various places — street, park, etc.
Hallucinations flash:
Faces blur.
Voices distort.
Someone disappears mid-sentence.
Her mom appears waving, then fades.
Calendar shows many days have passed.
Popular Girl: (panicking) Hindi... kailan pa?! Anong nangyayari?!
*naturally na magulo yung scene since naghhallucinate siya ng malala
SCENE 5: CRASH
LOCATION: Public restroom
She stares at her reflection — pale, hollow eyes.
Popular Girl: (whispering) Anong nangyayari sa’kin…
Scratches her arms, crying.
Voiceover: (while showing flashbacks)
*or school restroom na
Isolated spot.
Small group offers drugs.
Friend 3: Subukan mo lang. Kakalmado ka. Tutulungan ka nito.
Popular Girl: Hindi ako ganon…
Friend 4: Para sa’yo rin ‘to. Balik ka sa dati mong saya.
She hesitates. Laughs nervously. Takes it.
Back to present:
She pulls drugs from pocket, desperate to feel "okay" again.
SCENE 6: ESCALATION
LOCATION: Gathering area / Park
She approaches people.
Popular Girl: Friend 2! Diba nag-hug pa tayo?!
Friend 2: (backs off) Anong sinasabi mo?
Friend 1: Layuan mo nga kami!
Crowd starts whispering.
Friend 4 secretly records her.
In her blurry vision, she sees herself distorted in reflections — hearing cruel laughs in the
background.
*pwede na sa school to
SCENE 7: RUNAWAY
LOCATION: Alleyway / Quiet area
She walks fast.
People whisper: "Adik." "Sabog." "Ewan."
She hides behind a wall. Pulls out the drugs. Laughs uncontrollably.
Friend 1: (from afar) Bakit siya natawa mag-isa?
She collapses.
BLACK SCREEN
Faint sounds of sirens and worried voices.
*pauwi from school
SCENE 8: REHAB
LOCATION: Rehab center / Counseling room
She sits with a counselor.
Counselor: Gusto mo bang i-share ang kwento mo?
Popular Girl: (soft) Akala ko kaya ko… Noon sobrang saya ko. Pero lahat pala 'yon ilusyon lang.
Counselor: Ang droga ay hindi lamang nakakasira ng katawan, kundi pati ng isipan. Hindi
madali, pero may pag-asa.
Popular Girl: Kaya ko 'to. Kailangan kong magbago.
*any decent room w table
SCENE 9: LESSON / MONTAGE
Visuals of healing and recovery.
Voiceover:
Ang pagka-adik ay hindi kahinaan — ito ay isang karamdaman na kailangan ng pag-unawa.
Hindi madaling bumangon pero posible.
Lahat ng tao may pagkakataon magbago at mabuhay muli nang maayos.
*scenes in park na actual na nyang kasama nanay niya like reconciliation or smth sa same park
*naglalakad lakad lang
*active na in class
