Yeah, Sure, Whatever.

Cast of Characters

Girl, Very shy and is in love with Boy. Tries to communicate with boy.

Boy, bored with girl and is more interested in book than what girl has

to say

(Scene takes place in the apartment complex of boy. It is a chilly night. The stars are out. There is an awkward feeling between the two. Boy is not concerned with the girl.)


Girl

Hey! (blushing, shy, acting as if she was in love)

Boy

Hey (not very interested. Reading a book)

Girl

So…how is everything?

Boy

Alright.

Girl

What are you doing?

Boy

(Hold up book, as if annoyed) I’m okay.

Girl

Did you know you look ever so lovely when you read a book?

Boy

Thanks. (raise eyebrows)

Girl

So. Yea… um. Like what is the big deal between you and that girl. Whats her face? Veronica? Yea. Like who is she? You guys are always like together. Like always.

Boy

My sister. Veronica is my sister.

Girl

Oh. Okay. Well. So you wanna do something? Like go out. Or get something to eat.

Boy

Nope (reading book intensely)

Girl

Can I ask you a question?

Boy

Um…sure (look bored)

Girl

What is love like. Does if feel more like a butterfly in the spring air or more like a hug by the fire place or is it like sitting under the night sky counting stars?

Boy

(Long Pause, Not even listening) You can’t even count stars. There’s too many. There are billions and trillions of them out there.

Girl

(Not really listening now, lost in own world. Dance around the stage as if in love and steals glances at Girl.) Well. I think love is like a hug or kiss beside the fire place. It’s the dead of night outside. The temperature outside is…cold. Very cold. Like so cold, I’m gonna die if I’m not wrapped around you… (Blushing)

Boy

What did you say? (look up from book)

Girl

Oh, nothing. I was just saying that is cold right now.

Boy

Yeah. It kinda is. (looking very interestedly at book) You can sit here if you want. (Point to couch.)

Girl

Okay! Sure. I mean if its okay with you. Well. Are you sure about this. I mean. If you are too busy we can do this another day. (Pretend Shiver)

Boy

Yea yea, you can sit here.

Girl

Do you mind turning the fire place on.

Yea. Sure. (Concentrating on Book)
