Lake - Secret Meeting Spot

 * I wait, looking out to the lake. It's quiet.
 * James: Ella!
 * Suddenly someone jumps on me.
 * Ella: What the hell!
 * I push the person off. I see it's James.
 * Ella: James. Don't creep up on me like that.
 * James: You still love me.
 * Ella: No, not anymore. Not when you're going to run off and leave me here.
 * James: Ah, you're being 'passio irascibilis'.
 * Ella: Passive aggresive?
 * James: Mmhm.
 * Ella: Well, I've got a reason to be.
 * James: It's not all doom and gloom. Graduation soon.
 * Ella: Yay.
 * James: That means we get to have our big together. The night before graduating. At the warehouse. We promised. Remember?
 * Ella: Yes. But that was years ago now. We're not all best friends anymore.
 * James: Still friends though, right?
 * Ella: I'm not sure...
 * James: How about this. You organize it, and that nght, I'll tell you a secret, hm?
 * Ella: Secret? What sort of secret?
 * James: Well, you'll see, won't you?
 * Suddenly, my phone beeps. I get it out of my pocket and read:

James Where are you? I'm waiting at the warehouse for you.
 * Ella: This text message is from James? But James is right in front of me.
 * I look up. James is gone.
 * Ella: James! James?
 * I turn and look at the lake. Everything suddenly turns cold. Fades to darkness.

Path Up To Warehouse

 * My eyes flutter open and closed.
 * ???: Ella? Ella!
 * Ella: Marvin?
 * I see Marvin rush to my side.
 * Marvin: You stumbled.
 * Ella: Did I?
 * Marvin: What happened to you?

Choice 1:

 * I don't remember.
 * Ella: I don't remember.
 * Marvin: Do you need a hand?
 * Marvin helps me up.




 * I just fell.


 * It's nothing, it's fine.


 * Ella: Where did we come from?
 * Marvin: School, of course.
 * Ella: Feels like we've been walking for ages.
 * Marvin: We can't be lost.
 * Ella: Yeah, well the last time we all came to the warehouse was when we were 13. We just started high school. We got proper spooked off, do you remember?
 * Marvin: Yeah, and then we turned into grumpy hormonal teenagers.
 * Ella: Speak for yourself.
 * We start to walk up the path.
 * Ella: It's our last night before graduating
 * Marvin: I'm sorry to break it to you, Ella, but I don't know if that means anything to anyone anymore.
 * Ella: I guess I should have mentally prepared myself.
 * Marvin: Look, it was a nice idea. To get everyone together. But -
 * Ella: But everyone's got their own thing now. I got ya.
 * I see up ahead the abandoned warehouse.
 * Ella: We can't be too far now.
 * Marvin: If you can see the lake at the bottom of the hill, we're close.
 * Ella: I can see it!
 * Marvin: Great.
 * Marvin keeps walking up the path. I catch up with him.
 * Marvin: I can't believe we're back here. It all feels a bit unreal.
 * Ella: I had a strange dream too, earlier.
 * Marvin: Really? What aboout?
 * Ella: James was there, and then he just disappeared. It was odd.
 * Marvin: It makes sense he's on the mind. You must be missing him.
 * Ella: Missing him? Why do you talk about James like this?

Choice 2:

 * What's going on with James?
 * Ella: Is there something wrong with him?
 * Marvin: What do you mean?
 * Ella: James. He's coming, right?
 * Marvin: Have you forgotten or something?
 * Ella: Forgotten what?
 * Marvin: James is lost.
 * Ella: What? For how long?
 * Marvin: You know this Ella.
 * Ella: No, I really don't. I swear we just saw him.
 * Marvin: He's been missing for a week.
 * Ella: This doesn't make any sense. What happened?


 * What happened between you and Natalie?


 * Do you think they'll come?


 * Marvin: I don't want to talk about it.
 * Ella: Please, Marvin - ?
 * Marvin: Drop it, Ella.
 * Ella: But I... I don't understand...
 * I look at the floor.
 * Marvin: Oh, don't get upset Ella. I hate to see you sad.
 * Marvin comes to me and gives me a hug.
 * Ella: Marvin is so caring really. Even if he's my best friend's ex. Well, ex-best-friend's ex.
 * I look into Marvin's eyes.

Choice 3:

 * Kiss Marvin. -15💎


 * Hug Marvin back.
 * Ella: Thanks for being here for me. What are you going to wear to graduation tomorrow?
 * I let Marvin go.




 * Marvin: A tux.
 * Ella: How original.
 * Marvin: If I tried to go in anything else, it'd be like a pearl harbour with my parents.
 * Ella: I'm going in a bright red pantsuit.
 * Marvin: Is that even in code?
 * Ella: What's school going to do? Kick me out?
 * Marvin: You wouldn't want to be kicked out the very last time you'll be on school grounds.
 * Ella: They'll be fine. They let Penny Haworth wear a pantsuit last year.
 * Marvin: Her dad was on the school board. Your dad's -
 * Ella: Non-existent?
 * Marvin: Not what I meant -
 * Ella: Just because my mum owns a farm and my dad's AWOL doesn't mean I'm not pansuit material, ok?
 * Marvin: Hey, it's not me you have to convince.
 * Ella: It's so old school that girls have to wear dresses. Loads won't turn up in them. Can you imagine Natalie in address?
 * Marvin: I've seen it.
 * Ella: And how was it?
 * Marvin: Pretty. Wouldn't dare to tell her that though.
 * Ella: Well, if Natalie's here tonight I hope it doesn't open a can of worms.
 * Marvin: I doubt she'll come. Considering last week -
 * Ella: When we were 13, just started high school, we PROMISED each other that night, we'd come back here. A final HURRAH together before graduating.
 * Marvin: Well, things change. Lots has changed. You, me, Natalie, James -
 * I stop and look down on the ground.
 * Marvin: You've been friends with JAmes since you were in your mum's tums! Oh, sorry, Ella. I shouldn't have brought him up -
 * Ella: It's fine.
 * Marvin: For what it's worth. I think he'll be okay.
 * Ella: You do?
 * Marvin nods.
 * Ella: I just want him to come back.
 * Marvin: Who knows. He could turn up tonight.
 * We continue up the path.
 * Ella: Well, knowing my luck organizing things, it'll just be you, me and Gabriella anyway.
 * Marvin: That's our life now.
 * Ella: It's just like everybody forgot that we promised, six years ago, no matter what, to come here on the eve of our high school graduation, best friends.
 * Marvin: Well, we're not best friends anymore. That's called growing up.
 * I look around. I recognise where we are.
 * Ella: Hey, it's just up here...

Warehouse - Entrance

 * Marvin and I walk up to the entrance. I see Gabriella waiting.
 * Gabriella: Hi guys. What took you so long?
 * Ella: Um, I'm not really sure.
 * Marvin: Ella had one of her space-out moments.
 * Ella: Did not.
 * I notice Gabriella's tablet in her hands.
 * Ella: You working on something?
 * Gabriella: Nah, just coding to pass the time.
 * Ella: "Just"?
 * Marvin: MIT will love you.
 * Gabriella: That's the hope. Did you accept Fudan yet?
 * Marvin: No, I'm going backpacking instead. Solo man on a mission. Leave this dumb behind. I'll be gone for the year. I'm hoping Fudan will have me next fall.
 * Gabriella: Well, who wouldn't want you. What about you, Ella?
 * Ella: Me?
 * Gabriella: What are you going to do? You have so much potential, you're a language... Wizard!
 * Ella: I, um, well. University's just not on the cards for everyone, is it?
 * Gabriella: Oh. Well, that's okay. University's not for everyone.
 * Marvin: Nor is backpacking.
 * Gabriella: No, exactly. Too many boys.
 * Ella: Thanks guys.
 * I pick up a stone and throw it down the hill, towards the lake.
 * Ella: I just wish I knew what's happened to James... Why do I recall that memory with James? I should...

Choice 4:

 * Stop thinking about it.
 * Ella: Let's talk about something else.
 * Gabriella: Are you sure you're alright, Ella?
 * Ella: Yes, I'll be fine, don't worry about me.




 * Recall more about it. - 12💎


 * Marvin walks to the entrance. He tries to push the door. It won't budge.
 * Marvin: How'd we get in six years ago?
 * Gabriella: We were a lot smaller. Think we fit in a vent or something.
 * Ella: I'm claustrophobic now, so that's a no go.
 * Marvin: So come on MIT, how are we going to get in?
 * Gabrielle stands back, looks at the building.
 * Gabriella: We could scale the wall. Get some rope. Climb in through those big - Maybe not.
 * Ella: Maybe you're not pulling hard enough, Marvin.
 * Gabriella: Or at the right angle.
 * I walk to the door and pull on it. It almost budges.
 * Gabriella: Use your body weight. Bend your knees.
 * I bend my knees and pull. The door opens.
 * Gabriella: It worked.
 * Ella: We all know Marvin's not the man of muscle.
 * Marvin: I may not be muscle, but I AM the man of remembering mind bending facts and figures.
 * Gabriella: Useful in some circumstances -
 * Ella: But not for opening a door.
 * We all laugh. I peek into the warehouse. It's dark and dusty.
 * Gabriella: So... It is really just us three?
 * Ella: I guess so.
 * Gabriella: Okay. Let's go.
 * I stop as I see the lake below. I hesitate.
 * Marvin: Ella? Are you okay?
 * Ella: Something... Something about the lake...
 * Marvin: What? What about the lake?
 * Ella: I can remember... Being cold, only coldness. Being so scared. The screaming. It's all I could hear.
 * Marvin: Who screaming?
 * Ella: Telling me... Begging me to...
 * Gabriella: Telling you what?
 * Ella: Nothing. Let's go in.
 * Gabriella and Marvin look at me, confused. I quickly run into the warehouse entrance.

Warehouse - Main Room

 * We walk into the main room. I spot a fire burning in a trash can.
 * Ella: Look!
 * We run over to the fire.
 * Ella: It's the same as when we were 13.
 * Gabriella: Hello!!?
 * We look around. I don't see anyone.
 * Marvin: That's creepy.
 * Gabriella: There'll be a perfectly good reason.
 * Marvin: You're always logic, logic, logic.
 * Ella: Guys, James isn't here. He said he was here, waiting!
 * Gabriella and Marvin look at each other, shiftily.
 * Ella: I want to ask you guys a question.

Choice 5:

 * What happened last week?
 * Marvin: You can't remember?
 * Ella: I can only remember James. Which obviously isn't right. You guys are acting shifty.


 * Why do you think James is lost?
 * Why do you think James is lost?


 * Did we get together last week?


 * Gabriella: Maybe it's best to leave it.
 * Ella: Why, what!
 * Marvin: It might upset you -
 * Ella: Why would it upset me? If James is lost, it means he can be found, right?
 * Suddenly my phone beeps.

 James:  You're taking a long ti...
 * 'Ella:' It's a message from James. Should I...
