Its night time and amalie is doing homework on her laptop then all of a sudden she hears a strange noise. she starts shaking and panicks while staying completely still with fright, we see her go to call her boyfriend (Aldous) - no dialouge

morning and amalie gets weird texts from her boyfriend

Amalie wakes up and looks at phone to see a vast amount of texts from her boyfriend saying that he doesnt understand and why is she being like this - amalie rings him straight away

amalie: why did you send me loads of weird texts?

Aldous: what? you where the one saying you hate me and never want to see me again!?

amalie: No i didnt, i rang once because i was scared last night

Aldous: i did get a miss call too, maybe theres something wrong with your phone or are you sending me the wrong texts?

amalie: what are you saying?...okay i dont know whats going on but trust me i only rang you once last night and i love you and only you...if you feel the same way about me then you'd believe me

aldous: i guess...do you want to met me in town later?

amalie: okay

aldous: normal place, normal time

Aldous hangs up leaving amalie with mixed feelings while this is being filmed we see viewpoints from under her bed/wardrobe of her walking around.

while amalie is walking around the house getting ready

amalie is not listening to her mum and dad as she has her earphones in but the audience can hear, but not really understand what there talking about
