Film Synopsis - First Draft

Teen boy is sitting on his bed looking at his phone. Text on screen saying "I'll be there soon baby xxx" with the words 'From Jo' visible. He stands and leaves the room. People in the living room of a house, bottles of alcohol visible, dubstep track playing in background, throughout film, in this instance muffled by voices. People talking, casual party talk. Group of boys sitting around, one in a pink shirt. Someone says to him "That shirt is so Jo Thomas", others says "ooooh" in unity, pink-shirt guy is defensive, lightly punches the person on the arm as he laughs. The teen boy is now standing just in the door way, looking over at the boys. Someone calls "here Dale, grab a beer mate, happy birthday" and offers him a bottle of beer. The teen boy, now identified as Dale walks over and takes the beer. Several shots of the party with people generally having a good time. There is a knock at the door and Dale turns his head. Opening the door he meets another teen boy who jumps forward and wraps his arms around him. Dale pushes him back slightly laughing and whispers "Not now, not here". We realise this other teen boy is Jo. Dale lets Jo walk in. The tone of the party changes almost immediately, people are still talking and appearing to have a good time, but there are hushed whispers and occasional staring. We see Jo look around nervously, sticking close to Dale as he socialises. Dale hands him a beer and he just holds it, looking around the room. Jo is obviously feeling very nervous and Dale keeps looking over, realising that this is happening. Jo takes a step towards Dale and goes to grab his arm. Someone that Dale is talking to steps forward and pushes him off.
"What do you think you're doing, fruitcake?" he taunts. Dale takes a step backwards in shock and a small semi circle forms around Jo and his assailant.
Jo, backed against a wall just looks at the ground. The assailant reaches forward and slaps him in the face and a few people gasp.
"I'm talking to you, faggot, answer me!" he shouts, more aggressively. Jo just looks down again and whimpers. The people surrounding them laugh slightly and turn to each other smiling. Dale is taken aback, on the edge of the semi circle just staring. Jo turns his head to look at Dale and their eyes meet. Dale walks forward, looking rather aggressive, people are staring and not understanding what he's going to do. He pushes the assailant out of the way. Jo has his arms at his side and Dale grabs them. People are looking, unsure of what's happening, again Dale and Jo's eyes meet. There are a couple of seconds of silence and then Dale puts his head down and walks out the door, leaving everyone is a stunned silence.
