JENNA: Guys, have you seen this?
BROOKLYN: Aiden wrote on Twitter! And Ethan posted a video.
HANNAH: I have been hiding this for a while, and I feel like I am ready to tell you all this. I like guys. I am gay.
JUSTIN: If that is a problem, then you can leave me alone, but I love who I want and I love myself and I am truly fine with whatever street credit this gives me.
JACOB: WHAT NEW SURPRISE HAS COME.
PERCIVAL: WHAT IS THE FUTURE IN STORE?
EMBER: WE HEAR THEY ARE FOR SURE.

Scene 3b-the cafeteria-noon-Love Matters
JONATHAN: Hey look. (Points to AIDEN and his group) It's the gay group! (Laughs)
(No one else laughs)
JONATHAN: Who would have thought the two coolest kids in our class were homosexual?
JENNA: For your information, we were all surprised when we read the tweet, and saw the video, but we are all okay with it.
JOHNATHAN: I mean it is obviously okay but I mean I am still in shock.
PERCIVAL: Are you, or are you trying to put them down?
EMBER: You should be more respectful to gay people.
WILLIAM: What if you were gay, and you were called out.
ONE DAY IN THE WORLD
YOU GO TO SCHOOL
PERCIVAL: YOU ARE GAY,
WHICH TO US IS REALLY COOL.
BROOKE: YOU WALK UPON A BIG KID
HE'S A BULLY.
HANNAH: WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS
WHAT HE IS SAYING.
EMBER: THE BULLY IS A BRAT TO YOU.
FOR BEING GAY.
YOU WISH YOU DIDN'T COME OUT
YOU KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT.
JONATHAN: BUT THAT IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE?
ALL (except JONATHAN): BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS
LOVE MATTERS
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GAY
WE LIKE YOU ANYWAYS
BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS
EMBER: So yeah, what if this happened to you?
WILLIAM: You see why you shouldn't be bullying him.
JONATHAN: Sort of. But you don't understand. That wasn't why I was bullying him. I'm not homophobic. I have something to say.
I HAVE A SECRET
TO SAY TOO YOU
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
'CAUSE SOME OF YOU ARE TOO.
I AM PANSEXUAL.
I LIKE GUYS
AND GIRLS
AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE,
YOU CAN STILL DATE ME
BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS
LOVE MATTERS
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GAY
WE LIKE YOU ANYWAYS
BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS
AND ANOTHER THING
TO SAY TO YOU.
AIDEN PLEASE.
I THINK I LIKE YOU.
AIDEN: well I am really flattered, but
I DON'T THINK
THAT BULLYING WILL HELP YOU DATE
AND I JUST THINK
YOU MIGHT BE LATE
BECAUSE I LIKE SOMEONE
SOMEONE ELSE
HE IS MY BEST FRIEND
'TIL THE VERY END.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HE LIKES ME BACK.
BUT JONATHAN, I STILL GOT YOUR BACK BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS
LOVE MATTERS
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GAY
WE LIKE YOU ANYWAYS
BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS
JONATHAN: Well then. I guess I would want you to be happy. But if things don't work out with him, will you try things out with me?
AIDEN: of course.
ALL: LOVE MATTERS
LOVE MATTERS
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GAY
WE LIKE YOU ANYWAYS
BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS
LOVE MATTERS
LOVE MATTERS
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GAY
WE LIKE YOU ANYWAYS
BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS.
(Everyone goes Back to their normal conversations)
AIDEN: So Ethan. I was talking about you. I like you.
ETHAN: I-I don't know what to say. I like you too.
AIDEN: really?
ETHAN: of course. So, are we a couple?
AIDEN: I think so.
ETHAN: Okay. Um so, about me being bi. My parents don't accept me.
AIDEN: Ethan. I feel so bad for you, but I don't know what to do.
WILLIAM: How bout he lives with us Aiden? One of us could take the couch and he will take our room?
ETHAN: I don't think so. They seem to love me, but if it gets worse when they see me with you guys, then, I will ask your parents to take me in.
(Bell rings)
ETHAN: We gotta get to class guys.
AIDEN: I love how you are always so concerned about being late.
ETHAN: (chuckles) Thank you. But seriously.
(ETHAN and AIDEN walk off stage, so does everyone else but WILLIAM and JONATHAN. As WILLIAM starts walking to class, we see Jonathan looking at the way that AIDEN and ETHAN went. WILLIAM notices JONATHAN not moving and stops to look at him)
JONATHAN: You will be mine one day.
