FADE IN:

INT. HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM - DAY

Sunlight streams through the windows of a dimly lit classroom. Desks are neatly arranged in rows, and the walls are adorned with educational posters. The room is filled with a sense of anticipation as students sit at their desks, waiting for their teacher to begin the lesson.

Among the students, we meet EMILY (17), a bright and curious teenager, known for her intelligence and inquisitive nature. She sits in the front row, her gaze fixed on the door at the front of the room.

The door creaks open, and MR. HARRIS (40s, bespectacled and serious) enters the classroom. He carries a stack of papers and wears a tired expression on his face. The students greet him with a mix of enthusiasm and apathy.

MR. HARRIS Good morning, class. Let's begin, shall we?

Mr. Harris walks to the front of the classroom, placing the papers on his desk. He glances over the room, ensuring everyone is settled.

The atmosphere in the room shifts suddenly, becoming heavy with tension. The students exchange puzzled glances as they notice something off about Mr. Harris. His eyes seem distant, and a slight tremor runs through his hands.

EMILY (whispering to her classmate) Do you think he's okay?

CLASSMATE (whispering back) I don't know, he looks really strange today.

Emily's concern grows, and she watches Mr. Harris closely as he begins the lesson. He speaks in a monotone voice, his words lacking the usual passion and engagement.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM - LATER

The lesson progresses, but the unease in the room intensifies. Mr. Harris seems increasingly agitated, pacing back and forth in front of the students. Sweat beads form on his forehead, and he occasionally glances towards the windows as if expecting someone or something.

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoes through the classroom, shattering the tense silence. The students turn to see one of their classmates, JASON (16), clutching his throat, gasping for air. Panic ensues as more students realize something is horribly wrong.

EMILY (screaming) Help! Somebody help!

But before anyone can react, Mr. Harris lunges at another student, attacking with a viciousness that defies comprehension. The classroom erupts into chaos as students scramble to escape the clutches of their deranged teacher.

Emily's survival instinct kicks in, and she manages to dodge Mr. Harris's attack, darting towards the classroom door. She looks back, horror etched across her face, as Mr. Harris continues his relentless assault on her classmates.

EMILY (out of breath) There's no way out! We have to stop him!

Emily's eyes lock with Mr. Harris's, and in that moment, she knows she's the only one who can bring an end to this nightmare.

The sound of sirens wail in the distance, signaling the approach of help. But for Emily and her classmates, the race against time has already begun.
