Rejection

Teacher (classroom)

Cathi, who were the lead characters in Shakespeare's play of young love?

Cathi

Antonio, Antonio, where for art thou, Antonio (class laughs)

Damond

Oh Antonio she's calling for you. Why don't just go ask her for some play and make her feel better. (Cathi exits crying.)

Sally (spacey, in hall)

Is like there a problem here. Like are you in love or something?

Renee (sincerely)

Don't worry everyone gets embarrassed sometime. You're not the only one. I bet by tomorrow everyone will forget, you never know, Antonio might even like you!

Tondra (mean)

Yeah, right, he's going for me. Didn't you know? And besides if you just took one good look in the mirror, you'd get the hint. You will never get a boy friend. So you can just stop crying, the world doesn't revolve around you.

Cathi

I know. (crying) I'm so ugly.

Renee

You're not ugly, you're pretty. Everyone thinks that they are ugly. Look at Sally. (Sally's fixing her hair) She is always combing her hair lot of good it does her.

Sally

Yeah wait um. My hair is my life. I could not like live without it.

Antonio

You think she likes me?

Damond

You heard her.

Antonio

Well she is kinda pretty. Maybe I should just ask her out. (wickedly) Besides I get something out of it, so how bad could it be?

Damond

Yeah, you the man ... I would just do it.

Antonio

OK I will.

Antonio (crosses to Cathi)

I'm not sure how to say this, so I'll just say it, will you go out with me?

Cathi

Really ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh, you really like me? I was so embarrassed in class.

Antonio

I though it was nice

Damond

Go Toni go Toni go go go Toni.

Cathi

OK sure I love to go out with you. (exit holdng hands)
