Scene II // Two weeks after the dance Evangeline and Garret are still together. Rose is upset because she had liked Garret for a while. She receives a phone call from an old friend. // [Rose is center stage with her phone in hand. Carla is off stage delivering her lines.] Rose: “Hello?” Carla: “Hi Rose!” Rose: “Hey Carla. It’s been a while. What have you been up to?” Carla: “Nothing much. I’m coming up to visit during the summer. Holly and I are going to go camping and hiking.” Rose: “That’s cool. Maybe you can stay over our house some night before you leave.” Carla: “Yeah. That’d be cool. I heard that Evangeline got a new boyfriend. She’s all over him.” Rose: “Yeah I know. Its Garret Stewart. The guy I told you I’ve had a crush on since I was in fifth grade.” Carla: “Aww... Did you tell Evangeline you like him?” Rose: “No. I didn’t want to say anything because she is so happy with him. But it’s getting frustrating because she won’t stop talking about him. It makes me so jealous.” Carla: “Oh. Well you should sit her down and talk to her about it. I’m sure she’d understand.” Rose: “Maybe…” Carla: “Sorry. I gotta go. Mom needs me. Remember, a person can only hold this stuff in for so long until they explode. Bye!” Rose: “Thanks Carla. Bye.” [Lights turn off for scene transition]
