Why do I keep getting a null reference? Its not null!

Hello fellow programmers at unity answers, I have been trying to fix this stupid code for like 30 minutes with no results yet.

I have two pieces of UnityScript...... I keep getting a null reference error on line 7 of the first code.....

 var script:numberAttempsLogger;
 function OnTriggerEnter2D (other : Collider2D) {
 
    if(other.gameObject.tag == "Player"){
     script = GetComponent (numberAttempsLogger);  
     yield WaitForSeconds(1); 
     script.attempts +=1;
         
     }
 }
 

This code is so simple and idk why it keeps giving me this error

here is the script it is referencing below

 var attemptsCounter : GUIText;
 var attempts: int = 1;
 function Awake() {
     
     DontDestroyOnLoad(Transform.GameObject);
 
 }
 function Update() {
     attemptsCounter.text = "Attempts : "+ attempts;
 }
 

Am I making a simple syntax mistake?? because im pretty sure i set this up right....if not, can someone please send me the documentation that shows me how to fix it? I have read everything i can find on this
