Old Stuff, Newly Found...

So, my life has been hectic. I am getting ready to head to college soon and that just adds to my normal crazy busy schedule. I regret to inform you that because of this dilemma I haven't had much time to write much, and what I have written is 1) not finished or 2) not ready for public viewing. Fortunately, I found a folder of some older but not old stuff that I've written on my computer and decided to post something from there. This is my first skit. Last year I had to write a scene of a play for Lit class. It's kinda of funny now that I read through it I laugh at what I wrote and realize how much better I could make it, but even if I only get a couple laughs out of it, it's still worth it. Enjoy!

THE NEW GIRL

[Roxanne is the new girl at school. Barbie is showing her around and making her feel welcome, but as the play goes on a secret is uncovered and an argument ensues that could threaten their new found friendship.]

(Coming out of class walking to their lockers)

Barbie: Wow if that wasn’t the most boring class yet. Miss Riley really knows how to ruin my morning, plus I’m pretty sure I failed that pop quiz miserably.

Roxanne: Don’t say that I’m sure you did fine.

Barbie: (flustered) What gives you the right to say that? You don’t know how I did…your guess is as good as mine!

Roxanne: (mumbling to herself) Just trying to be optimistic.

Barbie: You are right. I’m sorry - a little optimism never hurt anyone. I’m just not a morning person. Forgive me?

Roxanne: Done.

(The two girls now stand at their lockers. Barbie has her back against hers waiting while Roxanne digs in hers to get her books out.)

Barbie: (with much excitement) OMG…don’t look up right now but guess who’s walking down the hallway our way.

Roxanne: I don’t know (lifting her head up to see)

Barbie: Don’t you see him the gorgeous guy with the black shaggy hair? (Nodding her head in his direction)

Roxanne: Ya, I see him what about him?

Barbie: Ahhhh…(on the verge of screaming) not only is he drop dead beautiful, with stunning looks, and a good sense of fashion but that is Bo Hartley the schools heartthrob and Mr. Popular seeing as he is on the varsity football team.

Roxanne: Oh…well I uses he’s ok…(not really caring)

Barbie: Okay?!? Are you crazy don’t you see him and me were meant to be. (Barbie says this with a tone of seriousness in her voice) I mean I’m the best looking and most popular girl (Roxanne rolls her eyes) and he’s …well he’s just… you know… I mean… (Stuttering she finally blurts out) he’s Bo Hartley for goodness’ sake!

(While chatting about Bo K.J. shows up to chat.)

K.J.: So ya’ll want to here the juicy piece of information I just got from Stella?

(The other two try to ignore her)

K.J.: It’s really good…

Barbie: K.J., seriously go away we’re too busy to listen to your gossip crap. (She turns back to Roxanne and talks in a shushed voice.)

K.J: (trying again) Well, I know you’ll want to hear what I have to say about Bo (the girls now turn towards her) I mean it is supposed to be exclusively for the newspaper club…

Barbie: Ok, K.J., spit it out. You know as well as I do that since Bo and I are practically an item I deserve to know.

K.J.: Well, (satisfied to now have their attention) all I know is what Stella told me and she said her friend in band told her that some relatives of the Hartley’s have moved to town.

Barbie: Well come on tell me more.

K.J.: Sorry that’s all I have for you but I’ll let you know if anything else comes up.

(Bo laughing with a group of guys pass in front of the girls Bo stops while the guys keep going)

Bo: Hey, your names Roxanne right? (Roxanne just nods her head) Sweet so, how you liking school here at valley view high?

Barbie: (steps in front of Roxanne and answers for her) Hey Bo, Roxanne totally loves it here and I’m the one showing her around.

Bo: Cool so what’s your name?

Barbie: Barbie White, cheer captain. (She says proudly)

Bo: Great well I got to get to the gym but it was nice meeting you Barbie White, cheer captain. Catch you later, Roxanne. (Bo leaves)

K.J.: Dude Roxanne, Bo Hartley knows your name!!! How is that?

Roxanne: I don’t know guess he just wants to be friendly to the newbies.

Barbie: No Roxanne, Bo isn’t just “friendly to the newbies” Now truth: how do you know Bo?

Roxanne: (under her breath) How do you not know your own cousin?

(Barbie and K.J. both gape)

K.J.: Oops just realized I got to go! Bye TTYL!

Barbie: WHAT!!! Your kidding! Bo Hartley is your cousin and you didn’t tell me! Why not?

Roxanne: (with disgust and sarcasm) I wonder, Barbie White, cheer captain.

(The bell rings and the girls scurry to class in opposite directions.)

THE END!!!
