Murderer on the loose

Remi, Jack, Barry, and Thomas are 16 year old high school friends, who are going on a camping trip over the weekend to Lil Basin. They are currently driving to the campsite, Remi is in the back of the car with Barry and all his friends are being rowdy and he’s being picked on. When they stop at a gas station for snacks, Remi stays in the car because he sees some menacing guys in front of the gas station, while Jack, Barry, and Thomas go into the gas station he overhears the radio station saying there is an escaped murderer on the loose in Lil Basin. When Remi’s friends come back he tries to tell them what he heard and he is pleading to go home but his friends call him paranoid and convince him that nothing is going to happen and he is overreacting as usual. They get to the campsite and start setting up their tent, Remi goes to pee in the trees and he sees an orange jumpsuit in the distance and freaks out, trying to tell his friends but they don’t believe him. His friends check it out and find nothing there, further proving how paranoid Remi is. Then, they go on a hike. While they are hiking Remi sees a cool plant and inspects it, while he is doing that Barry convinces Jack and Thomas to hide in a bush and scare him, although Thomas is hesitant to do so. Remi looks back and starts to become panicky and scared when he doesn’t see his friends. He walks up the trail looking for them, when they jump out and scare him. The way Barry, Thomas, and Jack make fun of his paranoia and show him what little danger there is makes Remi stop believing in himself and he starts to ignore sounds that were scaring him before. They are getting ready to sleep for the night, when they are all settled, Remi can’t sleep so he wakes up and makes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. While Remi is making his PB&J the audience sees the murderer walk into the tent (privileged position). He finishes making his sandwich, he is eating his sandwich while walking into the tent with the peanut butter jar and knife. He’s confronted by the murderer in the tent who is about to stab Barry, Remi screams, everyone wakes up and screams, Remi drops the sandwich then stabs the murderer with the knife. The murderer is incapicitated while Remi is standing there like a hero. Thomas and Jack are huddled in the corner looking at Remi in awe. In the morning the group is driving home, this time Remi is in the passenger seat of the car. They stop for gas. Jack, Barry, and Thomas are hesitant to get out of the car, so Remi goes in himself. Remi struts towards the gas station with a newfound confidence.
