Scene 5
A bedroom. MAYA is painting a picture while APRIL
is lying back-up on the bed, head tilted slightly
forward. Every so often she puts her hands on her
head to reduce the pain.
APRIL
I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't like her.
MAYA
I never asked you to.
APRIL
I know, but...It's weird when she's around.
MAYA
In what way?
APRIL
You know, feeding each other food, making out.
MAYA
I'm sorry, would you be more comfortable if she had
things in common with you?
APRIL
No. I don't know. Those are two separate thoughts. I
don't like her and it's weird. Beat Why do you like
her, anyway?
MAYA
We are not getting into that.
APRIL
Come on. I want to know.
MAYA
It's not important.
APRIL
Yes it is!
Beat.
MAYA
I love her supple lips, her lustrous hair, her heaving
bosom!
APRIL
Okay!
MAYA
The amazing passionate feeling of her flesh upon mine!
APRIL
Stop it!
Maya laughs
APRIL (cont'd)
I mean really!
MAYA
I don't know. She really likes me and it feels like
nobody's ever been like that before. Just the feeling
of being wanted. I don't know.
APRIL
When are your parents finding out?
MAYA
Never if I can help it.
APRIL
They're gonna find out eventually.
MAYA
Dad might be okay with it, but Nadira would kill me.
APRIL
No she wouldn't.
MAYA
You don't know what she's like.
APRIL
