After a bad year at school, a young lonely boy called Edwardo decides to dissapear into his grandmas tent in her back garden, in the hope that no one will remember him. Things go from bad to worse when the last 4 people to see him alive are taken into a room and interviewed by a policeman who is so stupid, he shows pictures of himself in a bikini rather than the boy who's missing. Meanwhile, a girl called Hannah, who is secretly inlove with him, carries on with the search to find her one true love.
As the film fades into a eerily dark area, in the distance we can see a small, rickety tent being flung around in strong winds, and inside the tent, we see a small light flickering (which is one of those fake, paper candles), as the camera zooms in a bit more, we go inside the tent we can see a boy writing in a pink, fluffy, sparkly diary, with a unicorn on it. As a voiceover begins, he introduces himself as Edward Fredreko, and tells the audience that the audience that he has run away, into the deep realms of his grandmothers back garden "A.K.A the fortress"
We then quickly flashback to the beginning of Edwardo's day. He is walking alone towards his secondary school, in the shot, we can see that behind him are two girls pointing and laughing at him. In a voiceover from Edwardo, we are told that he has a 'dark dark secret, darker than his favourite skinny jeans', which has haunted his poor soul since he was of the tender age of five. He tries to ignored the jibes, and walks further towards school, as we hear the diegetic sound of the school bell, as the camera stops and follows Edwardo from behind, we see that as soon as he walks past someone, they point, snort and laugh at him.
The scene then cuts to Edwardo standing at his locker, presumably just before lunch time, and a group of girls walk slowly past him, and mock him for his attire, and then walk off, however one pretty girl stays and comforts the upset Edwardo, and introduces herself as Hannah. Edwardo tells us that this is Hannah, the prettiest girl in school, and the only one who 'truly understand his poor misguided soul :'(, and that he has had a crush on her since she punched dear old Phil Mccracken in 5th grade after he called Edwardo a name'. After he has suitably embarrased himself infront of her, Edwardo's best friend Alfred comes over, and asks him why everyone was laughing at him. Edwardo gets angry and punches the wall, which then breaks, and a puff of smoke comes out and makes him choke.
He then runs off down the corridor, straight past a group of clones (girls with peroxide blonde hair, big boobs and tanned skin) following a girl. In another voiceover Edwardo tells us that this is Candy and that the whole school worships the ground she walks on. Edwardo is shocked when Candy's boyfriend [Jason, the school football captain] comes and pushes him against the wall, out of nowhere, the head teacher appears, and the voiceover tells us that this is Edwardo's mum. She asks edwardo if 'her little prince is okay, and will her prince beable to fight the big bad demons of this school'
We then cut straight to a close up of him jolting away from school, the voice over says "I had to make the laughing stop, I just couldn't take it anymore!" he then jumps into a bush just round the corner from the school, he rolls over and talks to himself but from a distance it looks like her is talking to a worm which is crawling past him whilst he starts to talk, for Hannah and a group of her friends who are there smoking. Hannah walks over to him and asks what is he doing? He tells her and she convinces him to stay at least until the end of the day, they hear the bell and walk off to class together.
This is then cut back to the scene from the opening, we can see him talking to a stuffed bear which he is holding in his arms, from nowhere we can hear an old lady's voice saying "Eddie, its time for tea!" we cut to see the outside of his tent, and we can see a small house with all its lights on and a old women standing on what looks like the back porch. The tent then shakes as Edwardo shouts "I'm busy grandma!"
We then cut to early the next morning, and see a school room including the last 4 people (Jason, Candy, Alfred and Hannah) to talk to Edwardo, all sitting waiting for class to start; in every shot taken we can see the same empty chair with loser written across the back of the chair. The head teacher walks into the room crying with a police officer at her side, under the police officers arm is an over head projector. He officer asks the class if they have seen Edwardo, and flicks a picture of him up onto the screen, he starts to question the last four people to see Edwardo, and clicks the projector onto the next image and we see him standing in a filed in a bikini.
.
We then cut the police officer taking the four students into a small classroom and telling them to figure out what happened to Edwardo, or else! They are all confused and start to panic because they have no idea where he has gone. The police officer returns with a water pistol, Jason shouts “where’s your mankini?” get ya tits out officer!” from the mention of the word ‘mankini’ the officer does a shoulder/neck nervous twitch and points the pistol at Jason. Jason shouts “mankini” again and the officer does the twitch again, everyone in the room starts shouting mankini at him and he runs out of the room screaming.
.
After 5minutes of sitting in silence, they all decide to escape and hide until this blows over. They garb their backpacks and put on their own style of camouflage example: Candy’s is all pink, with diamonds on it. They put two black lines on each cheek and put on a hat which has written on it ‘hit squad.’ We then see them climbing out of the window and jumping around the car park trying to get away before anyone sees them. At the school gate they turn round to see if anyone had noticed them leaving, and from the room where they were we can see the police officer and the head teacher both looking confused and angry. We then cut to a black screen, with the writing ‘two days later’
.
The next scene opens on a picture of Edwardo, with written underneath it ‘have you seen this boy?’ we then hear doors being opened and people gasping and staring at where the light is coming from. Stood in front of double opened doors with a bright light behind the person is Edwardo, he now has short hair and is wearing normal clothes. His mum runs over to him with the police officer by her side shouting ‘oh my little prince!” the officer and his mum both start crying and everyone around the cheers and claps. Edwardo walks past his mum into the middle of the corridor and shouts “my whole life I have been the laugh of the town, and over the past 3 days I have become a man and moved passed the past I hope you all can do the same!” Everyone gathers round them and starts to cheer and clap him.
.
We then cut to see the other four characters crawling across the ground, in a bush near a restaurant, they are covered in dirt and leaves and all fighting with each other. They over hear two students from their talking about an amazing party, which is happening tonight at Edwardo’s house. They miss hear the conversation and think that they have found Edwardo’s dead body and this party is his funeral. Hannah starts to cry and confesses her love for him, she convinces them to go and pay their respects, so they walk to Candy’s house to get cleaned up.
.
We cut to Edwardo talking to a group of girls trying to impress them by telling how brave he has been over the past 3 days. Everything goes quite when Alfred, Jason, Candy and Hannah walk into the room, Edwardo walks up to them and thanks them for being the ones who made him change into a better man, Hannah tells Edwardo how she feels about him and so does he, they kiss and everyone cheers them on. After that they all start to party the night away, and we see everyone having a great time. the scene ends on a shot of Edwardo and Hannah kissing and the voice over starts again and sums up everything good about the party, well what he remembers. We then flash foreword 10 years and see what happened to all the characters after they had finished high school, whilst the end credits go up.
