FADE IN:

A college town somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

EXT. HOUSE - NIGHT

A two-story country house with a sprawling lawn guarded by trees shivering in the gusting October wind. A bright, full moon hangs overhead.

NEWS ANCHOR (O.S.)
The body of a Strode University student was found brutally murdered last night...

INT. HOUSE - BEDROOM - SAME

Sorority pics. College sundries. Trophies. Framed, confidence-boosting missives. The documentation of an exceptional life and an imminent failure to launch.

COED’S VOICE (O.S.)
Hold on.

A hand aims a remote control at the MUMBLING TELEVISION -- CLICK -- silence.

RAINA FINLEY (20s) - beautiful, but deep as a puddle - flows through a series of Yoga poses - her taut, nubile figure strains beneath her sports bra and boogie shorts.

RAINA
... And I’m like, Lululemon is a privilege, not a right.

A VOICE raspy enough to cut braided steel cable agrees.

RASPY VOICE (O.S.)
Seriously.

Raina glides up onto her feet like she’s finishing a lap dance -- does a Britney Spears hair flip, head snap combo -- aims her begging "fuck me" eyes at the IPAD on her dresser.

IPAD SCREEN

From the confines of a video chat window, a douchey TANOREXIC (20s) - with shotgun-blasted makeup and an Ed Hardy trucker cap - rolls her eyes with disgusted envy.

She takes a drag off a cigarette -- chases it with a slug from a can of Monster Energy Drink. 

TANOREXIC (O.S.)
Ugh, you make me ill.

RETURN TO SCENE

Raina struts into her closet --

RAINA
(singing)
I'm sexy and I know it! I’m sexy and I know it!

-- and bounces out in an outfit that leaves little to the imagination. Posing --

RAINA
How 'bout this?

IPAD SCREEN

The Tanorexic shakes her head.

TANOREXIC
Where’s he taking you, Cafe Bang-Me-Now?

RETURN TO SCENE

Raina shoots her an unamused look.

RAINA
Okay, you’re useless. I gotta jam. He’s gonna be here in an hour. 

TANOREXIC (O.S.)
Keep your legs crossed and your mind on Jesus!

RAINA
Laterz.

IPAD SCREEN

The Tanorexic throws up a gang sign -- signs off.

BATHROOM - MINUTES LATER

Wrapped in a flimsy towel that clings to her breasts for dear life, Raina makes a pouty duck face in the mirror -- holds up her cell phone -- SNAP!

With lightning fast thumbs, she types.

We see her SELFIE pop up into a message bubble beside her. TEXT types out: "HAWT DATE 2NITE!"

POOF! The message disappears.

She pivots -- reaches into the shower -- turns the water on.

DING!

She looks at her phone - her eyes light up.

We see a BLUE MESSAGE BUBBLE with WHITE TEXT pop up into the air next to her: "@OneGoodScare is now following you." 

POOF! The blue bubble disappears.

As if a major milestone has been achieved --

RAINA
Four hundred, fifty-_eight_ fans.

An EMPTY GREEN MESSAGE BUBBLE pops up in its place.

Her thumbs flash.

WHITE TEXT types out inside the green bubble: "LUV U XXXOOO!!!" 

POOF! The green bubble disappears.

She looks over her shoulder at the shower. It’s steamy and ready.

She sets the phone down on the counter -- takes her towel off -- hangs it on a hook -- steps into the shower for the required horror movie shower scene.

SHOWER

Raina massages sudsy shower gel _all over her body_ under the hot, cascading water - glistening as the soap rinses away. She closes her eyes -- leans into the shower stream.

THE LIGHTS GO OUT!

Raina opens her eyes. Startled by the darkness, she looks around -- shuts the water off -- reaches for her towel.

RAINA
(calls out)
Mom? Dad?

No answer.
