Creative name, right? I actually don't like this one very much, but then again, A) it had a sucky topic (can you guess? If you guessed "stereotype skit" you're a winner!!!) And B) it was the very first skit we did this year, so cut us some slack please.
Aradia: Emo - Played by Kayla
Beca: Emo - Played by Emma
Winston: awkward nerd who likes Beca - Played by Eden
Donna: "basic white girl"-Played by Me
Sarah Jane: "basic white girl" - Played by Elodie
(Scene opens in classroom with everybody sitting at desks. ARADIA has her head on the desk and seems sad. BECA is writing a poem. WINSTON seems interested in BECA, and is staring awkwardly at her and glancing away when she returns the eye contact. DONNA and SARAH JANE are whispering conspiratorially.)
DONNA: Why do those emos have to be so depressing?
SARAH JANE: I know, right?
WINSTON: (approaches BECA hesitantly) Um...hey, Beca...what...(fidgets) um...(gathers courage) whatcha writing about?
BECA: (sarcastically, with a glare) Death.
WINSTON: (pauses and points awkwardly) Okay!
DONNA: (obnoxiously) Seeeeee?!
ARADIA: (picks up head off of desk) Do you have a pair of scissors I can use, Winston?
WINSTON: Why?
SARAH JANE: Oh my gosh, Donna, she's totes gonna cut!
ARADIA: Because I like frightening people. (grins creepily)
WINSTON: uh...bye...(leaves)
(Bell rings)
DONNA: The bell already? I haven't even finished! (other girls murmur their assent)
WINSTON: I have!
EMOS: Typical. (laugh at synchronicity)
(Everyone turns in papers and leaves classroom, enters new classroom)
ARADIA: (groans) Oh, we're getting test results back, I forgot! (pause) Sure, I'll pass them out. (Everyone gets papers. WINSTON is last and is waiting enthusiastically.)
BECA: (receives paper) 84. Pretty good. Aradia, what'd you get?
ARADIA: (glances back) Same as you.
DONNA: I got a 90!
SARAH JANE: 81...good enough.
WINSTON: (is waiting impatiently, snatches paper and rips it, everyone snickers. He looks expectantly at grade, face falls as he registers it) I...I got...how?
SARAH JANE: Whatcha get, nard?
WINSTON: (devastated) I got...I got a...(sadly) a 77! (collective gasp,(BECA snickers and quickly tries to look remorseful)
BECA: (as everyone looks at her) Oh, sorry, that's...uh...horrible. (hides face and laughs)
SARAH JANE: We get extra credit for test corrections, guys. (everyone starts to write, WINSTON dives for paper and begins writing furiously)
ARADIA: (looks up) Finally, the bell! This day has been hell.
DONNA: (in a loud whisper) Sarah Jane, did you hear that? Emos are so dramatic.
ARADIA: Excuse you?! Aren't I allowed to have a bad day without being called an emo?
DONNA: Well, you are, aren't you?
SARAH JANE: Why else would you and Beca wear all black and loads of eyeliner?
BECA: (indignantly) Because I like how I look in black!
ARADIA: And, well, why are you and Donna dressed...(makes face, gestures up and down)...like that?
SARAH JANE + DONNA: (gesturing to other girl, speaking in unison) Because she does.
BECA: Well, at least we're unique.
ARADIA: Yeah, when was the last time you two did something because you wanted to?
SARAH JANE: Hmm.
DONNA: (chargrined) I actually don't know.
BECA: (in a reasonable tone) That's kinda why you guys are called basic white girls.
DONNA: Huh. I didn't think of that.
SARAH JANE: You wanna know why y'all are called emos?
ARADIA: Actually, yes.
SARAH JANE: (quietly) It's because you never talk to anybody else. You're so...drawn out of society and stuff. It's weird.
BECA: (hotly, offended) I happen to not like society, so there.
DONNA: Why?
BECA: It's because people like you always pick on people who are remotely different. Like us. And,... well, Winston. (WINSTON perks up at the mention of his name)
ARADIA: About that. Were you actually writing a poem about death?
BECA: (as WINSTON comes up behind) No, I just wanted that creep to go away. (exaggerated shudder) The way he's always hanging around me...ugh.
WINSTON: (hurt) Oh. If that's how you feel.
Sorry! I know I have the rest of this skit at home somewhere in paper form, I'll get that to you soon
