I'm in progress of writing a screenplay about a boy named Mike going to study with the girl he has a crush on, Nicole, and while they study, he plans to ask her out. He is giving himself a pep talk in the bathroom when Conner appears.
However, the thing about Conner is that he is a ghost and Nicole's dead boyfriend. I don't reveal how he died, but I think it happened a while ago.
As I am writing this, I have an idea that Conner could be, instead of the boyfriend who died a friend who died who had feelings for Nicole but wants to sabotage Mike's attempts not because he is a boyfriend but because Conner hates he never confessed to Nicole while he was alive.
They go to the library. The trouble I'm having is thinking of ideas that Conner could annoy Mike, the climax, and juggling Mike's nervousness of asking Nicole out and dealing with Conner.
Also, I had another idea that there would be a twist that Conner is sabotaging Mike not because he is in love with Nicole but because he is in love with Mike. This is an alternative idea to Conner being the boyfriend. I kind of don't like plot twists. I feel its cliché in young screenwriting because they can't make a non twist ending. However, on the other hand I feel like a gay character is something I don't see among the student films at my school (I'm writing this to be potentially be made into a student film).
