SAM

What? Is she-

WES (O.S.)

She's alive. But in bad shape.

She was... stabbed. Seven times.

SAM

Stabbed? What the fuck?

WES (O.S.)

She made it through surgery and the doctors said it went well. She's resting. Your mom-

SAM

I'm on my way.

WES (O.S.)

Okay. I'll see you soon-

SAM

Wait. Do they know who did this?

A beat.

WES (O.S.)

It's probably better if you just come here-

SAM Wes.

WES (O.S.)

(exhales)

It was someone in a fucking Ghostface costume.

PUSH IN on Sam. Something in her face tells us that this news is significant. Personal.

SAM

I'll see you in a few hours.

Sam ends the call and turns to Richie.

RICHIE I'm coming.

SAM

Richie-

RICHIE

Sam. I'm coming with you.

Sam nods, tears brimming in her eyes. He gently pulls her close, wraps his arms around her...

EXT. WOODSBORO HIGH - SAME TIME

WES HICKS (17, bookish) pockets his phone. REVEAL that he's standing next to a very familiar fountain. STUDENTS mingle as they head to their bikes or cars. School's out.

AMBER FREEMAN (18, tough), whom we recognize from Ghostface's voyeuristic Snapchat, sits on the fountain's edge.

MINDY MEEKS-MARTINEZ (18, no filter) is next to her, ear buds in, watching something on her phone.

AMBER She's coming?

WES Yeah.

AMBER

Watch everything get worse.

WES

What were we supposed to do? You know her mom isn't gonna tell her.

AMBER

Yeah, and you know why.

CHAD MEEKS-MARTINEZ (18), Mindy's jocky twin brother, and his pink-haired artsy girlfriend, LIV TATE (18) approach, in midconversation:.

CHAD

...I'm just saying, with everything going on, I think it's time we take our relationship to the next, most intimate level.

The friends all look to Liv, confused. She exhales.

LIV

He wants me to accept his Find My Friends request.

CHAD

It's the safest move with a wouldbe killer on the loose! I know where you are, you know where I amLIV

You can stalk me like a jealous boyfriend-
