Scene 1 (lights come up on a room and you see a girl sleeping and the phone rings)
Jackie Hello.
Olivia Hi Jackie. You sound sleepy. Are you still in bed?
Jackie Yeah.
Olivia Why?
Jackie What do you mean “why”? Where are you.
Olivia At school. Where are you?
Jackie In bed. What are you doing at school at 5:00 in the morning?
Olivia That’s the time? Wow. No wonder nobody is here except for this creepy old janitor who keeps staring at me. Well at least I will get to check out all of the news boys.
Jackie You and boys. Aren’t you ever gonna give up and focus on your work for a change?
Olivia Look who’s talking. Ooo I see one. Oh never mind. It’s a teacher. Hi Mr. Caliburt.
Jackie Well Livey. I got to go. Call me if you see anything interesting. If you know what I mean.
Olivia You and boys. Aren’t you ever gonna give up and focus on your work for a change.
Jackie (laughs) Bye Livey.
Jackie Bye.
BLACKOUT
Scene 2
(Lights come on as Olivia and Jackie are walking in the school)
Jackie I can’t wait till we get our schedule Livey. I wonder who our new Math teacher is.
Olivia I’d really like Mrs.Hallaway to teach it though.
Jackie Olivia Mrs.Hallaway is the old janitors wife. She’s over 70 years old.
Olivia But she’s very nice.
Jackie She gave us cookies that sent half of the 9th grade home last year.
Olivia Yeah but it’s the thought that counts. (a boy walks by)
Jackie Livey there he is. That’s him. My man. (she starts walking behind him. He goes to his friends and they talk and Jackie poses with her head tilted all the way back and Devon turns her way)
Devon Umm. Is your neck ok Jackie? (he walks by and Jackie walks back to Olivia)
Jackie Ooooo. He knows my name. Don’t we look so cute together?
Olivia (laughs) lets go Jackie (they turn around and Jackie bumps into somebody and her stuff falls and they bend down to pick it up)
Jackie Gosh. How can you be so (looks up and sees Devon) so… so… so cute. I mean stupid. (Devon smiles at her.)
Devon I’ll try to be careful more. (he picks up and yellow paper) So are you…um…. are you going to this dance? (they stand up)
Jackie I don’t know. Are you going?
Devon I don’t know. Are you sure you don’t know?
Jackie Are you asking me out?
Devon No. I’m just making sure you’re out my way. (Jackie stares at him horrorstruck and he starts laughing) I’m just playing. Of course I’m asking you out. So…<br> Jackie Sure. I’ll go with you.
Devon Aight. So… I’ll pick you up at seven?
Jackie Okay. C-ya then. (Devon starts walking away but turns around and comes back)
Devon Umm. One problem. I don’t drive. So I guess I’ll meet you there on Friday by 7?
Jackie Sure. (she walks over to Olivia) Guess who just asked me out to the dance on Friday? Devon.
Olivia Oh my gosh. Are you serious? (they scream, hold hands, and start singing. Jackie sings “I got a boyfriend” while Olivia sings “we got a boyfriend”. They sing it twice and Jackie stops when she notices what Olivia is saying. She clears her throat and Olivia stops and starts singing “You got a boyfriend”)
Jackie That’s what I thought. Lets go.

Scene 3
SFX:FRIDAY AT THE DANCE
Dad So here we are Jackie. Wow this place looks nice.
Jackie Yeah Dad. And to tell you something, the chaperons are supposed to be over there with the rest of the teachers. They can’t follow their child around and try to embarrass them. Ok? Dad Oh get a grip on yourself. Like I’m here to embarrass you.
Jackie Sure you’re not. (Olivia walks over to them)
Olivia Hey Jackie. Nice dress.
Jackie Thanks.
Dad I’ll just leave you two alone. (Devon walks up to them)
Devon Hi Jackie. You look beautiful tonight.
Jackie Thanks.
Olivia Awwwwwwww. That’s so cute.
Jackie Livey?
Olivia Yeah?
Jackie Go away.
Olivia Fine then. (she walks away)
Devon Sooo. Ummm.
Jackie What? What is it? Oh I like this song. (couples around them started to slow dance to Mariah Carey’s “I still believe”. Devon looked uncomfortable)
Devon Well. Do you…<br> Jackie Just say it already.
Devon Do you want to dance?
Jackie Sure. (Jackie puts her arms around his neck and him on her waist and they start to dance while talking)
Devon So for how long have you liked me.
Jackie Boy, every since the first time you walked through that door. I was like he’s gotta be mine.
Devon Your crazy you know that. But also beautiful.
Jackie Thank you. (Devon leans in and he kisses her on the lips. Then the music stops)
Jackie What happened?
Olivia Excuse me all. But we’re experiencing some technical difficulties but we will have the music running as soon as possible.
Devon Umm. I’ll be back ok? I have to go to the bathroom.
Jackie K. (she goes and sits down by herself watching the rest of the people. After a while, she starts checking her watch then eventually she gets up and goes to Olivia)
Jackie Olivia, have you seen Devon? He’s been in the bathroom for like 10 minutes.
Olivia Umm. No. Maybe he doing a number 2. Or maybe he’s just outside getting fresh air or something. (Jackie walks out the room to find Devon with 3 other boys)
Scene 4
Jackie Hey, where have you been, I’ve been… (she notices that they are hiding something) What’s that?
Devon Nothing.
Boy #1 Why don’t you just go back inside!
Jackie Why don’t you shut up and leave me alone before I make you go back inside.
Boy #2 Ooooooooo
(Jackie reaches behind Devon and pulls out a cigarette)
Jackie What are you doing with this?
Devon We’re just having a little fun. The party’s dull. Who hosted it anyway?
Jackie My friend. So our dance was dull? And I know…<br> Boy #3 Calm down. He’s right, we’re just having a little fun here. It’s our little party. Look we even have more. Want one? (shoves a pack in her face)
Jackie Boy if you don’t get that thing away from my face, I’m gonna take it and shove it up your…<br> Devon Jackie c’mon just leave us alone. Goodness. I can take care of myself. Your just my girlfriend, not my mother.
Jackie You think smoking this cancer stick is taking care of yourself. Oh and as far as I’m concerned, you cut.
Devon So it’s like that?
Jackie Yep (mimicks them) We’re just having a little fun. The party’s dull. I don’t even know why I went out with you. (while she was talking, her dad came in behind her but she did not notice)
Boy #2 No Jackie, we don’t want any.
Boy#3 Yeah. Stop trying to make us take it. (the boys run)
Jackie (confused) what…<br> Devon Uhhh… c-ya, bye. (he runs off)
Jackie Ok. (she turns around) oh. Hi dad.
Dad Don’t suck to me. You are in so much trouble. Let’s go.
Jackie What?!... what did I do? Where are we going? Were you drinking again.
Dad Excuse me?! Don’t you question me or you’ll get the beating of your life.
Jackie But what did I do? (her father raises his hand to hit her but she puts her hand with the cigarette in her face and she realizes…) Oh no. Dad… no. (she drops it)
Dad Shut up and lets go. (they go back in the party)
Olivia Hey Jackie, where have you been? (Jackie walks by her with her head down) Hey where are you going? What’s wrong?
Dad She’s going home. (they walk out)

Scene 5
(lights come on as they are walking in the house)
Jackie Dad I swear. I wasn’t smoking
Dad How can you say that when I caught you with it.
Jackie But I wasn’t using it. Please Dad. I’m not lying.
Dad Just like you weren’t lying about skipping school, flushing Goldilocks down the toilet…<br> Jackie But that’s different.
Dad (yelling) Don’t you cut me off when I am talking to you little girl. (the door opens and the mom walks in the room with groceries)
Mom What is all this yelling? I thought somebody was dying. Hey Jackie, help me with these groceries.
Jackie (crying) Yes mom.
Dad Stay put. You’re not going anywhere.
Mom Why are you yelling at her like that? Come here baby. (Jackie starts to walk to her mom with her hands out)
Dad I caught her with a… a… a cigarette.
Mom STOP! (Jackie stops) You caught her with WHAT!?
Jackie No Mom. I didn’t…<br>
Mom You better be quiet child (drops her groceries) What were you saying Cliff?
Dad She had a cigarette in her hand and she was trying to get others to smoke it too.
Jackie Mom, I swear, I didn’t…<br> Mom (charges at Jackie as to grab her and Jackie backs away but the dad holds her mom back) DON’T YOU LIE RIGHT IN MY FACE. WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?
Jackie (crying) But I wasn’t doing anything with it.
Mom (trying to break free from the dad) How do we know that! CLIFF GET OFF (throws the dad off her and starts to walk toward Jackie) I’m gonna make you wish you were never born (she raises her hand as to smack her but Cliff grabs her)
Dad Donna STOP!
Mom CLIFF GET OFF OF ME! I’MA HURT THAT GIRL.
Jackie Oh my God.
Mom God ain’t gonna help you out of this one.
Dad Jackie, go to you room. (mom tries to break free) NOW!
Jackie Mom please. I wasn’t smoking. I swear.
Mom Say that one more time and I’m gonna be the one swearing that my foot to going to enter where the sun don’t shine. And no, it ain’t a threat. It’s a promise.
Dad Jackie, I’m warning you. I can’t hold on any longer.
(Jackie runs to her room crying)
BLACKOUT
Scene 6
(Jackie is in her room crying while writing something and she hears a knock on the door)
Jackie Leave me alone. (the door opens and her little sister walks in)
Chynna Like I ever listen. (she starts searching the room for something) Chynna Where’s your flashlight ratbrains?
Jackie It’s over here. (Chynna walks over there and stares at her amazed)
Chynna What’s wrong Jackie?
Jackie Nothing (turns her head away) What d’ya mean what’s wrong? (sniffs)
Chynna I just insulted you and you did not say anything back. You never pass up a chance to either insult me back or throw something at me.
Jackie Ok. Leave…umm…fartbreath.
Chynna Ooo. There really must be something wrong if that’s the best you can do. I’ll just have to find out myself. (she picks up the flashlight, turns it on, and points it at Jackie).
Jackie Are you crazy? What are you doing? TURN THAT OFF!
Chynna What I’m I doing? I’m searching for the truth.
Jackie Please Chynna, this is not the time.
Chynna Then can you please tell me what’s wrong?
Jackie Ok. Let’s just put it like this. Dad caught me with something and he thought that I was using that something to do something but I wasn’t doing anything but he did not believe me. He thought I was doing something with that thing.
Chynna (looks at her sister blankly) Say what?
Jackie Ok. Dad caught me with a cigarette but I wasn’t using it. These kids at the party were and I tried to stop them but then dad came along and they blamed it on me. And then he told mom and she went…went… well you now how she gets. And now, I’m grounded.
Chynna Well, I believe you. But I gotta admit. You have done some crazy things. You even flushed my fish down the toilet just to see if it would swim back up.
Jackie Olivia told me it would. And that was so two years ago.
Chynna Olivia told you? No wonder. But I know that you wouldn’t lie about something like that. Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before they believe you.
Jackie Thanks. (they hug then break apart immediately)
Chynna Eww. That never happened. (she walks out and the phone rings)
Jackie Hello.
Devon Umm. Hi Jackie.
Jackie How dare you call me? Not after what you did. How could you Devon.
Devon I’m sorry Jackie. I uhh I panicked. What could I have done? Your dad was just standing there. You should have seen the look on his face. He looked so… so dangerous. So murderous.
Jackie DANGEROUS! IF YOU THINK THAT WAS DANGEROUS YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN MY MOM. SHE WAS READY TO KILL ME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE, YOU COULD HAVE STUCK UP FOR ME. INSTEAD OF RUNNING LIKE A LITTLE PUNK.
Devon I didn’t run. I… ok I ran but…<br> Jackie BUT NOTHING. YOU SHOULD HAVE STUCK UP FOR YOUR OWN GIRLFRIEND. I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY I WENT OUT WITH YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. BYE DEVON. (she hangs up)
Devon Wait does that mean I’m cut? Darn it. She hung up.
BLACKOUT
Scene 7 (lights come on as Jackie and Olivia are walking in the hallway of their school)
Olivia Are you serious?
Jackie Yep. And he had the nerve to still ask me if we were going out. How stupid can he be. (as they talk, Devon walks up behind them )
Devon Hi Jackie.
Olivia Speaking of the devil.
Devon Can we talk please Jackie.
Jackie Ain’t nothing to talk about. I don’t wanna see you, talk to you, or even be within 10 feet of you. So I’d advise to move back.
Devon Please Jackie. I panicked.
Jackie Did I not tell you ten feet?
Devon You’re crazy. (Jackie slaps Devon)
Devon You…You smacked me.
Jackie I told you. Ten feet. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Come on Olivia.
BLACKOUT
Scene 8 (Jackie is sitting in her room writing and her mom calls her)
Mom Jackie. Come here. Someone is here to see you.
Jackie Ok. (she walks to the living room to see Devon sitting with her mom and dad)
Devon Hi Jackie
Jackie What is he doing here? (she picks up a cup) Get out. GET OUT.
Dad Jackie. What is wrong with you. Put that cup down.
Jackie He is the reason I am grounded. He is the cause of everything. Get out. (Devon gets up and starts to walk towards Jackie)
Devon Jackie. I said I’m sorry.
Jackie And I said ten feet. (Devon stops)
Mom Jackie. Would you just listen to what he says?
Jackie No. I don’t want to hear anything from him. I’m going to my room. (she turns around and started to leave)
Devon Jackie. I love you. (Jackie stops and turns)
Mom, Dad, and Jackie You what!?
Devon I’m playing. I just needed to get your attention. Jackie. I told your parents what really happened. I told them that you had nothing to do with that cigarette.
Jackie You did?
Mom Yeah Jackie. That’s what we’ve been trying to tell you. Before you were about to hit him with that cup.
Dad Well at least she can protect herself. You’re not grounded any more Jackie. I’m sorry I didn’t believe you.
Jackie (mutters) Yeah right.
Dad Excuse me.
Jackie Nothing
Mom And I’m sorry for the way I acted about it.
Jackie Yeah. You nearly killed me.
Mom (stands up and starts walking off stage) Well, I don’t play. (she stops and looks back) We’ll leave you two to talk. Right Cliff?
Dad Oh yeah. (he gets up and leaves with the mom)
Jackie Sooo. I’m Sorry and thanks.
Devon What for? (Jackie goes and sits down on the couch and so does Devon)
Jackie Well for tell my parents what really happened.
Devon Well I had to. I sit less than ten feet away from you in class. You would have probably stabbed me with a pen or something.
Mom Jackie. I need you in the kitchen.
Jackie Comin’. So where do we go from here?
Devon (he puts his hand on hers and holds it) Well… I was hoping we could start things over.
Mom JACKIE
Jackie We’ll see. (she leans over and kisses him on the cheek then get up and leaves)
Devon Yesssss.
BLACKOUT
THE END
