Slide 2: 

How alone would you feel if your brother went into jail?? Step into Elise’s world…

Slide 3: 

Elise , a not so typical teenager, isn’t sure if her long-time neighbour Carl has the same feelings for her as she does for him. When new rich American girl, Sandy, joins the school, Elise is now sure that Carl doesn’t have feelings for her anymore… now she’s sure that his heart is set on Sandy. Elise isn’t happy and now wants to take matters into her own hands…

Slide 4: 

How far will you go when jealousy strikes? Elise finds a gun while searching her brother’s room for some old photos. What does she decide to do with it? She decides to tell Carl and hide it in the shed. Carl is shocked by the discoveration.

Slide 5: 

Then Elise starts to spread rumours about Sandy just so that he can break up with her. Carl and Sandy begin to argue a lot- making Elise very happy. Carl then realises that whenever he argues with Sandy, it’s always about something that Elise has said, now he’s questioning their friendship.

Slide 6: 

Now Elise is fuming to discover that Carl and Sandy are never going to break up. She remembers the secret lurking in her shed… When Sandy throws a party, Elise goes to it and causes a lot of trouble between Carl and Sandy, lying to them both that each one of them is seeing someone else secretly. Carl has had enough after arguing with Sandy and goes to the shed.

Slide 7: 

A friend of Sandy's who Elise lied that she made out with is found ‘dead’… and Carl is missing… Everybody waits for an answer… everybody is shocked. Two people dead because of a girl who is Just Jealous.
