Michael, James, Ella, Luke and Jordan have taken the final of their A levels and are not happy with how they went, they need these results desperately otherwise they will not get into the desired university of their choice, the year that they choose.
That same evening they decide as a group to go back into the school after hours to see if they can get their exam papers back and change some of the answers. Everyone is all for it other than Ella. She is typically known within the group as the “good one”. She doesn’t want to go back in to get the answers as she thinks that they should all accept their honest result and deal with whatever comes with it. Predictably, the others do not agree and she is resultantly talked into sneaking into the school to change answers.
Michael, James and Luke use a metal pole to unhook the latch at the back door of the school. The papers they are looking for are kept in the caretaker’s office. It has been known to the students of the school for years that this is where they are located but no one has ever dared to go in search for them, this for a reason that is yet to be known to the students. They successfully get into the school and find their way to the caretaker’s office; it is completely chained up so Jordan uses a hair pin to open the padlock and it opens with a frightening creek, to the sheer disturbance of Ella. Who screams loudly but is quickly silenced by her friends. To their surprise there is little in the caretaker’s room, one filing cabinet a table and a small wooden box. The size of the filing cabinet baffled the group as they didn’t think the exam papers of an entire sixth form could possibly fit into this cabinet.
They began to search through the files, well all the student excluding Ella. While the others were frantically searching through the cabinet with the evident fear of what they were actually doing finally beginning to set in, Ella had been drawn towards the box, as she noticed it was open. She sat in front of the box and began to rummage through. Nothing that she found really seemed to make sense; she found a locket, some birthday cards, some photos and an old perfume bottle. She noticed that the eyes in the photo had been scratched out. She called for her friends immediately and shared what she had found, the group looked at the items and examined them closely, and they couldn’t understand why these almost demonic looking items were kept in their caretaker’s office. They also couldn’t make out who was in the photos. Then it suddenly dawned on them that they had never known the identity of the school caretaker, so decided for sake of solution that the man in the pictures was him. But that didn’t give any reason as to why the woman in all of the photos was scratched.
The group as a whole now began to get more and more freaked out as none of what was going on made any sense. As they had thought, the filing cabinet was not big enough to hold the exam papers so their search had been in vain. They decided to put back everything they had found and leave quietly because they were ultimately getting more scared by the second. They did all of this successfully and locked the caretakers office back. While they were leaving they heard footsteps coming from all around them. The footsteps were intrusive but the group could tell that they only belonged to one person. The footsteps were now louder and were accompanied by the sound of a screaming woman. This quickly prompted screaming from both Ella and Jordan followed by a failed attempt to calm them both down by the boys. All five of them ran for the nearest exit and began franticly trying to open it. They realized it was locked. A dead silence dropped upon all of them and James utters the words “this door was not locked when we came in”. The startling sound of shattered glass comes soon after prompting more screaming. The group makes a run for it, knowing only to hide in different rooms within the school.
By now it really has become a full on mouse chase, but scarily it is not evident yet what exactly is chasing them. James unfortunately upon trying to reach a hidden destination, is hit over the head with the same pole that he used to open the door at the beginning and killed. Jordan stumbles across James’ body as she is making her run for it and lets out an almighty scream. She sprints away to find the others but as she finds them to bring them back to the location where James is, he is nowhere to be found. The smell of bleach suggests that someone has attempted to clean up the blood stained floor.
Michael runs back to the caretaker’s office in the hope of maybe finding the keys that can open the doors and free the group, but he too is beaten to death by a mysterious figure. One by one they all begin to go. Jordan is next when she tries to escape through the window, and she is shortly followed by Luke.
Ella is the last one left and has to figure out a way to hide from a figure that up until now she has not been able to see because of the darkness. She goes back into the caretaker’s office and tries to make sense of the things that she saw in there. She is followed in by the figure and smacked over the head with the pole. She appears to be dead but she is not. She reaches for the box and hits him over the head with it. She was the only member of the group to be carrying a mobile phone. She reaches for it, leaves the caretakers office to make the call to the police. One they arrive they cannot find any trace of the dead bodies she is claiming that there are. Forensics couldn’t find any traces of blood, and the figure or the murder weapon could not be found. She is escorted home by the police and warned that wasting police time is a serious offence.
