(All stage lights shine on the classroom where ALEX is sitting at a desk. He is writing something. The MUSIC TEACHER walks onto the stage.)
Music Teacher: Alex? What are you doing here?
Alex: I had lunch but I'm too sad to eat.
Music Teacher: What are you writing?
Alex: A song about Wendy.
Music Teacher: Well then let's hear it.
Alex: I don't think so-
Music Teacher: I'll give you extra credit.
Alex: Okay, I guess.
Alex
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WAS CERTAIN THAT I'D BE FINE WITHOUT
A QUEEN. JUST A KING INSIDE HIS CASTLE WITH AN OCEAN IN
BETWEEN. NOW ALL I DO IS SIT AND COUNT THE MILES FROM YOU
TO ME. OH, CALAMITY.
WE GET OLDER BY THE HOUR, WATCH THE CHANGES FROM AFAR.
KEEP FORGETTING TO REMEMBER WHERE WE'VE BEEN IS WHO WE ARE.
NOW ALL I DO IS WONDER WHY WE EVER SET THE SCENE. OH, CALAMITY.
IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT WE PLAY STRANGERS. NO ACT TO CHANGE
WHAT WE'VE BECOME. DAMN IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT WE BUILT A WRECK
OUT OF ME. OH, CALAMITY. OH, CALAMITY.
I'LL REMEMBER NIGHTS ALONE, AND WAKING UP TO DIAL TONES. ALWAYS
FOUND MY GREATEST MOMENTS IN THE SOUND OF YOUR HELLO'S. NOW
I STRUGGLE TO RECALL THE REASONS WHY YOU CAME TO LEAVE. OH, CALAMITY.
IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT WE PLAY STRANGERS. NO ACT TO CHANGE
WHAT WE'VE BECOME. DAMN IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT WE BUILT A WRECK
OUT OF ME. OH, CALAMITY. OH, CALAMITY.
IF I CATCH YOU ON THE CORNER WILL YOU EVEN KNOW IT'S ME? WILL
I LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU? DO YOU OFFER ME A SEAT? CAN WE FIND A NEW
BEGINNING? DO YOU TURN THE OTHER CHEEK? OH, CALAMITY.
IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT WE PLAY STRANGERS. NO ACT TO CHANGE
WHAT WE'VE BECOME. DAMN, IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT WE PLAY STRANGERS.
NO ACT TO CHANGE WHAT WE'VE BECOME. DAMN IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT WE
BUILT A WRECK OUT OF ME. OH, CALAMITY. OH, CALAMITY.
OH, CALAMITY. COME BACK TO ME.
Music Teacher: That was beautiful Alex. You definitely have what it takes to make it big. Wendy will love that song, I can promise you that.
Alex: Thank you. I have to go get her for prom, and after that I have to get her for graduation.
Music Teacher: That sounds like a lot of stress. Music is a great stress reliever.
Alex: Yeah, I am always playing music in some way. Jack, Zack, Rian and I are in a band called All Time Low. Right now we play Green Day and Blink 182 covers.
Music Teacher: My only advice to you guys is keep playing, there will be people who hate what you play, but there will be people that love it also. As long as you love what you play that's all that matters.
(A bell rings. Alex walks off stage. All lights black out.)
