Final Proposal

In the summer of 2012, 16 year old Ella is sat in her room pondering on whether to attend an after prom party she's been invited to (seen as she couldn't afford to go to the prom) at Seth's house (a 16 year old boy from her school) by her only friend, Nicole.

As Ella narrates her life to the viewers, flashbacks reveal to the audience what it's like in general life for her leading up to the party. She's victimised by a girl and a boy because of her lack of wealth. Seth, a boy Ella has liked for years, is the most popular boy in the school but he shows little interest in her. The audience also notice Chez the chav, a background character who has a secret crush on Ella.


Back into the present, Ella's mother comes into her room and encourages her to attend the party. Although it's Seth's party, the two bullies will also be there. However, after much persuading, Ella eventually agrees. Meanwhile, Chez is wondering around in his kitchen in frustration. He suddenly stands still and notices a kitchen knife.


She is greeted by Nicole and Seth. As her and Seth make their way into the room, the bullies start taunting her behind her but she dtakes her mother's advice and stands up to them. Seth suddenly declares his love for Ella, having kept it a secret in fear she wouldn't feel the same way. As she admits ehr feelings for him, Chez hears them and goes to attack Seth. Ella intervenes and shoves Chez to the floor. As he falls, a bloody knife drops form his hands. To everyone's horror, Ella looks down to see that it's her who's been stabbed. As she falls to the floor, Seth and Nicole run to her aid  and call for an ambulance. As the screen fades to black, the quote "get busy living or get busy dying" is spoken.
