BEAUTIFUL (ACT 1)

[VERONICA:] 
September 1st, 1989
Dear Diary:
I believe I'm a good person. You know, I think that there's good in everyone, but—here we are! First day of senior year!
And uh... I look around at these kids that I've known all my life, and I ask myself—what happened?

[STUDENTS:]
Freak!
Slut!
Burnout!
Bug-eyes!
Poser!
Lard-ass!

[VERONICA:]
We were so tiny, happy and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased

[STUDENTS:]
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!

[VERONICA:]
Singing and clapping, laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste

[STUDENTS:]
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!

[VERONICA:]
Then we got bigger, that was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome

[STUDENT:]
Move!

[VERONICA]
Oh, Sorry!
Welcome to my school, this ain't no high school:
This is the Thunder dome!
Hold your breath and count the days, we're graduating soon

[STUDENTS:]
White trash!

[VERONICA:]
College will be paradise, if I'm not dead by June!
But I know, I know, life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray for a better way
If we changed back then, we could change again
We can be beautiful...

[VERONICA:]
Just not today
Hey, are you okay?

[HIPSTER DORK:]
Get away, nerd

[VERONICA:]
Oh, okay

[STUDENTS:]
Freak!
Slut!
Cripple!
Homo!
Homo!
Homo!

[VERONICA:]
Things will get better soon as my letter
Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Wake from this coma, take my diploma
Then I can blow this town
Dream of ivy-covered walls and smoky French cafés

[RAM:]
Watch this!

[VERONICA:]
Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze!

[RAM:]
Oops

[VERONICA:]
Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker and eighth year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick!

[RAM:]
What did you say to me, skank?

[VERONICA:]
Aah, nothing!

[VERONICA:]
But I know, I know...
Life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray
For a better way
We were kind before;
We can be kind once more
We can be beautiful...

[VERONICA:]
Aagh!... Hey Martha.

[MARTHA:]
Hey

[VERONICA:]
Martha Dunnstock. My best friend since diapers

[MARTHA:]
We on for movie night?

[VERONICA:]
Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail

[MARTHA:]
I rented "The Princess Bride."

[VERONICA:]
Ho-ho-ho, again?

Wait, don't you have it memorized by now?

[MARTHA:]
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending!

[KURT:]
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honnnnnk!

[KURT:]
Hahaha!

[VERONICA:]
Kurt Kelly. Quarterback.
He is the smartest guy on the football team. Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf.
