Hey everybody this is my senior project and I'd love to know what you think! Thats all the play starts on the next sentance!
Act 1 Scene 1
Enter David with hands in his pockets, kicking an empty can.
David-(muttering) stupid, good for nothing-
Enter Robin, smiling to herself and carrying a stack of books. David doesn’t notice her and kicks the can at her, making her drop her books.
David-Darn it, (stoops to pick up books) I’m sorry.
Robin-Oh, it’s okay, they’re just books.
David-(stacking the books in a small pile) Yeah, but I shouldn’t be taking my bad mood out on you or your books. (Finally looks up, hands Robin the books) Have I seen you around before?
Robin-(standing and smiling still) probably not, I just moved here on Saturday. (Holds out hand)I’m Robin McGinty.
David-(takes it and shakes) David Morrison, you gonna go to school here too?
Robin-Yes, I start on Monday.
David-Cool, who’s homeroom do you have?
Robin-(opens book on top of stack and checks a paper) Umm, Gestrick?
David- Cool once again, I guess we’ll have homeroom together too.
Robin-That’s nice, I guess I’ll have someone I know at least.
David-Yeah it is, want me to walk you home?
Robin-What for?
David-There are actually several tin can kicking lunatics on the streets these days, it just isn’t safe.
Robin- Why do I feel like you ulterior motives?
David-Probably because I do, I really don’t want to go home yet and am in dire need of distraction.
Robin-Oh, well then I guess you’re right, I would be honored for you to be my guardian against the psychotic can kickers.
David-Great, so where do you live?
Robin-Over on West and Main.
David-(smile fades) Oh.
Robin-(her own smile fading) is something wrong?
David-No, no, it’s nothing, I just live on the same street, kinda weird huh?
Robin-Yeah, kinda. (Silent for a moment) So what were you upset about before, when you were kicking in the can, I know it’s really none of my business but-
David-No, it’s alright, it’s supposed to help if you talk about it right? Well, I just got into an argument with my Mom and Dad about something.
Robin-You care if I ask what?
David-(shakes his head) No, we were actually arguing about me, they’re worried about how my grades have started flip-flopping in class.
Robin-Do they have reason to be worried?
David-I don’t know, to tell you the truth, I don’t know.
