screenplay ideas

1) evil high school: James has been sent to a boarding school while his parents finish moving. but what they didn't know when they enrolled him was that it is a high school for the wicked, the cruel, and the evil. there are different social groups in the school. but unlike most boarding schools you pick a group and you not only hang out with them , but live and dine with them. there are __ groups in this school... the masterminds/the hive mind: they're the nerds.... they are quite creepy actually, they all look the same and are always trying to take over the world, the "vampires": twihards... just twihards... they're deranged, the cult: they are the equivalent to the geeks at a regular school, the jocks (meatheads as the cult calls them) they are what they are... man power,the sirens... who are the popular girls... total snobs, and then you have the werewolves and their not knock-offs they are legit werewolves... they are also the closest thing the cult has to friends outside the cult. Anyway, James has moved to Gordon's high school for evil teens. and of course he doesn't fit in. so the cult ,basically every misfit in the school, takes him in.
the cult is made of five members Llewellyn, Rudy, Azazel, Lucy, and now James.
Rudy is a total flirt. he has red long-spiked hair. he often wears platform boots and black jeans. and of course he is very flirty. very flirty. and very sarcastic (secretly a farmiliar)
Llewellyn is also sarcastic but a little more hyper than Rudy. she ofter wears black, blue, and grey clothes. she has short one sided hair. (she secretly likes cute stuff)
Azazel  tall and mysterious. no one knows where he is from and doesn't want to know. though he isn't very social he can be quiet talkative in certain situations.
Lucy is the most "normal" one (note the quotations) to non evil people she would seem like a slightly strange stranger. but if you're her friend you know different. Lucy is short for Lucifer. yeah, Lucifer. no one not even the cult would even dare go in her closet. that stuffs scary.
 James is a normal kid. he has brown hair and a regular appearance. he is smart but, he is just average.
So, in all we have a punk, hyper fanatic, a mysterious villain, a satanist, and a normal kid.

 the school rules
1) no bright colors
2) no fight in the hall if needed pleases do it outside so we can watch
3) no pets (farmiliars are acceptations)
4) you must be wearing clothes
5) no intimate contact in the bathroom
6) no good deeds (helping with pranks are accepted

This blog is part of my 20% project at school. A 20% project is when you take 20% of your time (my time is every Friday at school). I will be using my time to write a novel. I hope to finish writing and editing my novel.
