INTRODUCTION:
(ClACK, CLACK. Camera focuses on two boots walking rhythmically down the street. In the background, at the same time with the clacking noise, students are gossiping and talking about this cool new girl in the school.)
So, Melanie is this new girl in school. As Melanie becomes more and more popular, her likable personality and dressing style are somehow challenging the authority of Anna, the Queen Bee. One day, Melanie wears these gorgeous boots to the school, and as it makes the clacking sound down the hallway, Melanie receives numerous praises about her gorgeous boots. The eyes of the guys who surround Anna follow Melanie as she walks past them. Anna stares at Melanie--'s boots enviously with hatred, but as a Queen Bee she must retain her dignity. So Anna imagines different ways to approach Melanie, intending to "make friends" with Melanie. She plans out different scenarios, anticipates different responses (at the same time assuming Melanie's personality), and finally chooses one that she deems most appropriate--and approaches Melanie. However, when Anna begins to converse with Melanie, the seemingly nice and cute new girl suddenly turns into a bitch, and is very hostile to Anna--and Anna only. At this moment Anna realizes that Melanie is coming for HER. Melanie is plotting to take over the Queen Bee title by assuming a different personality. As Melanie bitches at Anna and "clacks" away triumphantly, Anna becomes even more stunned when Edward, her crush and the most handsome guy in the school, comments "Hey what a nice pair of boots" and starts flirting with Melanie.
Anna could not get her mind off those gorgeous boots and the clacking noise and Edward's comment. With other provocations, one night Anna sneaks into Melanie's house with a chain saw.
Melanie is asleep in her bed, and Anna slowly walks up to the second floor. Even though Melanie does not have the boots on her legs, Anna hallucinates and sees a pair of boots there. Anna saws off Melanie's legs and hold them close to her chest ("my precioussss~~~"), still thinking that those are the gorgeous boots. When Melanie suddenly wakes up from the intolerable pain, Anna kills her too.
However, Melanie's real boots are worn by her mother tonight for certain event. As Melanie's mother comes home, she sees her door is wide open and there are obvious signs of an intruder. So Melanie's mother rushes upstairs to check on Melanie without taking off her boots, while making the clacking noise along the way. As Anna enjoys the moment she has with these "gorgeous boots," she hears the clacking noise and is shocked. How can it be? The boots are here in my hands. Anna looks at the "boots" again and she begin to see what they really are--two bloody, poorly-saw legs with blood still oozing out and flesh dangling. Anna throws the legs to the other side of the room and shrieks.
Melanie's mother comes to the door and is absolutely shocked. Anna sees the gorgeous boots on the mother's legs and returned to the psychotic state and killed the mother with the chain saw also. Melanie stays at Anna's house all night and still does not forget her Queen Bee status and her loot--the boots. So the next day Anna, with her hair all messed up and clothes all bloody, wears the similarly bloody boots to the school. She walks down the hallway in her Queen Bee manner, and she mistakes people's shocking stares for stares of admiration of her beauty.
ENDING: Anna walks down the hallway (right in the middle) towards Edward, who is on the other side, while making the clacking sound.
