EXT. means exterior

INT. means interior

(example: EXT. Walmart - Afternoon) - this means that something is going on outside of a Walmart during the afternoon

CUT means an entire different scene

A name in all caps: signifies who is speaking. In a typical screenplay the speaker's words are not in quotations; however, due to Wattpad's layout, indentation is not permitted. So, I put the spoken words in quotation under the speaker's name to make it easier to decipher conversation over description text. Anything not in quotes is to help describe the situation. 

A name in 'bold' signifies their first appearance.
