But tat day coming from college; quickly opened my Facebook, I was desperate and wanted to have a girlfriend soon after coming from my and sent a friend request to a girl named “Marie jane” in FB and I was surprised but happy to c the request was accepted by Marie jane at once. Soon he sends a message to Marie jane

Marie jane: Oh is it..

Marie jane: I was going to his Mathematics Tuitions , but now he has moved to
San francisco recently.

Marie jane: He is really a very good sir, Even though he is in San francisco now; he clarifies most of my doubts in mathematics thru FB, Special thanks to FB.

Mathew: (types He is really boring… sir but as soon as he checks her message he erases it and types) Ya he is really good sir, Without him I wouldn’t have passed my 10th exams you know... 


This is how Mathew and Marie jane’s conversation’s on internet starts and in a few days they become good friends and keep chatting with each other daily evening after there college for a week. Everything goes fine for week, and next evening as usual Mathew comes from his college and throws of his bag on the bed and sits in front of the computer, in no time he goes to FB. Mathew looks at his profile to find an offline message for him from Marie jane which says

Mathew

“Hi Mathew, I am going to my grandparents place, My grandmother is sick and she wanted to see me and my parents, Pray for my grandmother to recover soon..”




(In this Mathew also has a roommate with him his name is “Ron”, he is a very take it easy guy)

Mathew looking through the message feels disappointed for not being able chat with Marie jane that day and not knowing how many days he has to wait. Thinking about this he drops himself in his bed and slowly sleeps. Ron looking at him asks him.

Ron: (Leaning on the bed, looking at Mathew holding a book)
Hey Mathew… What happened??
(Hits with the book on the legs of Mathew).

Mathew: (Speaks sadly)
She is going to her native place; uhhh….she will be not coming online for
Sometime..uff

Ron: (Smiles)
Ohh.. thu thu thu thu
Acts sadly making fun of his friend

Mathew: (Looks at Ron seriously)

Ron: (Stops laughing at him at once) Say’s
Oh Sorry Sorry.

Now Mathew as a daily routine used to come from college and quickly open fb, and eagerly checks whether Marie jane has cum online; but he gets depressed when she doesn’t come online. Just Expects Marie jane might drop any message for him.. All this process Ron keeps on looking.

Days pass from 3 to 5 to 15 to 20 to a Month
(Showing Mathew looking at the calendar day and night;
Walking on the lonely; thinking of her.)

Mathew comes to his room, changes his dress and sits on the bed tiredly holding 2 huge books on his hand to read..

Ron: (Working on computer) I came to your college to pick u up…Wer did you go?

Mathew: Went to roger’s house to get the project notes.
(Telling; he drop the books on the bed and si’ts to study)

Mathew opens his book to read

Tring tring!!!! Ron’s Phone rings

Ron: Hello Mummy…(Gets up from the system and goes to the other side of the room)

Acuth’s voice slowly gets low down when he goes a bit distance from the computer

Here Mathew not able to concentrate on it. He looks at his computer and asking himself,

Mathew: Should I check once???

Mathew: Hmmm...No!!!

Again looks at his book try concentrating, Turns slowly his head to the computer again
Slowly keeps his book aside looking at Ron busy with his phone and goes in front of the computer and quickly goes to his FB profile. His happiness had no limits when he sees a message from Marie jane atlast

Mathew: (Jumps atonce like a mad) AAyyeeee!!!!!

He shouted so loudly tat Ron who still talking with his parents suffered a sudden shock!!!

Ron Terrified by the shout; and almost drops his cell phone but safely catches it again.

Mathew Turns back and say’s

Mathew: Ron.. I got a message from Marie jane

Looking at the awkward position of Ron Asks.

Mathew: What happened? What kind of asana is this?

Ron: (With a stuttering or shivering voice)
Wat was that you... Did!!!? What happened?

Mathew: Marie jane has sent a message for me.

Ron: (Scolding Mathew in mind) Awesome dude…ahhh!!!!

Mathew looking at the computer happily; Ron gets up and looks at the computer

Marie jane comes online..

Marie jane: Hi Mathew, how r u

Mathew: Hey Ron, Do you think Marie jane could turn out to be a beautiful?
Ron: No way dude!!!! Beauties never ever ask for a Blind date.. She should some kind of girl with so so looks only...

Mathew: (Mathew is in relief after hearing this and thinks wat Acuth says is correct, Marie jane should be of average looks only, thinks she can be a huge personality too without boyfriends.

Why Mathew is relieved because he was actually afraid whether the girl might be a beautiful, as he is afraid of talking with tat kind of girls face to face...)

Mathew: (He calls his friend roger) Hi roger, I need your brother’s bike on Saturday

Roger: Hey no way, he hardly gives to me..

“A friend in need is a friend in deed man”

Roger: K k, come tat day I will keep it ready

Mathew: Thanks man..thanks a lot.

Roger: K k

Suddenly in this scene Mathew hears the silencer sound of a scooty.. which is awkward for the viewers but soon

Mathew: Do you hear some sound? (Thinking for a while…all of a sudden views at the audience and says)

Mathew: I think the Marie jane must have come

(BACK TO THE PRESENT)

Mathew looks at the scooty, Scooty stops at a Distance… Mathew saw a fatty girl named Gajalakshmi opening her helmet and looking at Mathew asks

Gajalakshmi: Hi, r u Mathew from FB?

Mathew with a relief yet disappointed turns his head other side and thinks

Mathew: What Acuth said was correct, beauties wont asks for a meet but Jumbos like her will ask… (Worried now)Oh my god how will I manage this huge personality now?

While he keeps thinking, Gajalakshmi again shouts

Gajalakshmi: Hey Mathew, wat r u thinking, Hi I am Marie jane..

Mathew again looks at her worriedly suddenly hear a voice from the back of Gajalakshmi, Its none other then Marie jane, Gajalakshmi was just pranking with him.

Marie jane gets down from scooty and slighting hitting Gajalakshmi

Marie jane: Hey enough of your Pranks Guddu, don’t frighten him up…

The expectations for Mathew had a gr8 twist as Marie jane turned out to be not only a beautiful girl but a killer girl with gorgeous looks and style..

den meeting…


Story ends here by showing Ron telling Audience tat

Ron: This is the reason why He doesn’t have a Girlfriend!!!!!


THE END
 
I enjoyed the story. With the script, there are some problems, but they can be fixed.

When I read it, there are scenes when there is little action. He is mostly just sitting or standing. While it works for your story, this can look very boring when filmed. It is okay to have a scene where we see the calendar in the background and clips of him in different positions/actions, but try to have some action or the audience will become bored.

I liked the piece at the end with Gajalakshmi, but I felt his running away was not satisfying. I might have his friend Ron suggest that he practice asking a girl on a date with a poster of a beautiful girl in the beginning. We see him get confused at first. Then he gets better with practice. Then at the end, when he meets Marie Jane, he again acts like an idiot.

I like endings where the "loser" gets the girl. Using your story but changing the ending just a little. He says he needs to run because his friend Ron is dying or something really stupid. He tries to leave but the bike doesn't work.

I think it would be fun to have Ron walk out at that point for class. Matthew panicks and tells him to get back in his bed until he gets his medicine. Gaja volunteers to stay with Ron, which Ron hates but sees his friend is desperate. Matthew is given Gaja's bike to go to the store, but Gaja says that he has to take Marie with him so he doesn't steal it. He has Marie behind him. They talk after a silence.

Mathew is honest with Marie and they decide to go get lunch.

Funny scene as Ron is in his bed with Gaja nursing him. Ron is VERY uncomfortable as she orders him into bed and takes his temperature. He does it for his friend. Gaja secretly enjoys it having a handsome man she can order about.

I think your story will work as you wrote it but I would try to be sure to put more activity into it so we are not just watching Matthew sitting and standing around all the time. Good luck!
