The End

Scene 10

Jeff: So, did she suffer?

Nancy: It was quick. She never knew what hit her. But what about Matt? Didn’t he ever tell her?

Jeff: Never. He meant to, but it didn’t work. In the end, she couldn’t listen to anyone. She just kept trying to hard, and then left us.

Nancy: No. I don’t think he should be around anyone. He sorta lost it too after she left. That doesn’t mean we should shun him. Come on, he’s still our friend.

(Enter Matt)

Matt: Hey guys. Do me a favor, don’t talk about it, okay. It was her decision, and she made it. Don’t condemn her for that.

(Jeff stands up and punches Matt)

Jeff: You bastard! She would have never made that decision if not for you! You think we can just forget about this! I won’t let you forget! Two weeks ago, she was fine, and then she met you! In two weeks, 2 weeks, you screwed over our friend! And now we are suppose to just forget it like nothing happened and act like she was never here? Every time I look at you, I think of what she and I could have had, and I am sickened. Get out of my face.

Nancy: Jeff! Stop! It wasn’t his fault. She was lost to us a long time ago. You and I know it. Matt didn’t cause all this, and neither did you. So stop blaming people.

Jeff: You are lucky Matt. If they weren’t around, I’d beat you senseless, then throw you in the gutter…. Just like you did her. But you just happen to be that lucky.

(Jeff leaves, and Matt sits down in his seat. Dead silence is heard for the next few seconds and everyone grieves. The lights go black.)

Scene 9

July: So, what do you do when life’s got you down? Do you keep going on? Do you just say stuff like, oh well, get them next time? Do you just swallow hard, and walk it out? Do you try to talk to others about your problems? (pause) HA! Like that works. It’s all-just pain in the end, mistakes that I made, mistakes I can’t even fix because, well…. I can’t! Why? I don’t know. Matt, god, you really screwed me up, you know that. One day with you, and here I am, holding a gun. A godamn gun Matt! Ha! Like you care. You are off with the next floozy that comes your way. I was the class valedictorian! I was going to Oxford! I was going to have a job as a writer! The last week should have been filled with speech writing and studying, not visiting a doctor…. Finding out about our mistake. You know what they say: you can unscrew a light bulb. (pause) What’s the answer? Choice or Life? HA! Matt’s trying to make it right, but we all know what he wants: More. They always do. It was the only way that he ever would go out with me, and now…. Wambam thank you mam! What an ass. Telling me it was all a joke, then trying to get me to come down. Guess what Matt? Jokes don’t involve real doctors! I’ll show him. I’ll show them all.

(Laughter is heard from July, who slowly raises the gun to her head. The lights slowly go completely black, and a bang is heard, followed by a thud. A grew seconds later…)

Matt: Oh my God! July! What have you done!

Scene 8

(Lights up on matt and July, standing near a bed. July is standing at one end, and Matt is at the other end.)

July: What do you want to talk about Matt? This better be good, since you’re keeping us from our new job.

Matt: Look, July, there’s something we have to talk about. It’s about what happened last night.

July: Oh yes, Matt, lets hear it. Let’s hear how you forgot. Let’s hear how my life will be so much better with you in it. Let’s hear how you will support the child, quit school and be my perfect husband. Let’s just forget how you ruined my life and made me into just another mistake! Let’s hear it, MATT!

Matt: July calm down. Please let me…

July: No! I don’t think I will, hun! You know what I had 7 days ago? 7 DAYS AGO MATT! I had a loving boyfriend who would do anything for me! I had the chance to go to Oxford, my dream school! I had a scholarship, Mat! Like you ever cared! I was just another notch in the bed! I was another lay to brag to your college friends! And I bet I wasn’t even that special either! So, Matt, I don’t think I should stay here any loner!

(She goes to leave, but Matt stops her and throws her on the bed.)

Matt: July, look, it wasn’t like that, and you need to know that…

July: Know what? I know…. You love me, right? Well, I guess I should just spread my legs and let myself be ravished by the great lover Matt! Come on, Casinova! Let’s make her scream! Just don’t hut the baby in the head while you’re at it!

Matt: July! Dammit! Come on, stop that! Look, if you would just let me speak! I need to tell you that…

July: Oh, so now I am not good enough for you! I can’t even please the great Matt because I am a teenage mom! I guess I’ll just raise the kids and let you go for your glory job and screw whatever temp comes you way. Hope you’re happy, honey. Hope you can find time between sluts for your wife and your kids!

Matt : July, You’re not pregnant! I made it up. I made the whole thing up as a joke.

July: What? You made it up. All that talk about me being pregnant is not true?

Matt: Look. Greg dared me to tell you that you were pregnant, and I took it. We had sex, but I faked the pregnancy test. I never meant for you to quit school, or Oxford, or even give up being valedictorian. I was going to tell you last night but…

July: You are insatiable. You think you can still get some? You think I wouldn’t go to the doctor myself, or perhaps check it out myself? You think that I, someone who’s class valedictorian, would think that a pregnancy test works after an hour? You sicken me Matt. Trying to trick me into having sex with you again. You know what… I don’t think another one of you should come into this world.

(July leaves and pushes Matt out of the way. He tries to stop her, but she pushes free and runs off stage right. He should fall down)

Matt: No, wait… What do you mean? July? Wait! Where are you going? JULY!

Scene 7

(Enter Greg and Matt Laughing)

Greg: Dude, that was great! And when she ran out, man, I bust a guy!

Mat: Yeah. That was the best prank ever, and it’s only going to get better when we tell her otherwise today. I have to admit, this has been the most fun I’ve ever had in a prank, if you know what I mean. (Makes outline of a women’s body with his hands)

Greg: Yeah, I only wish you had dared me!

(Enter nancy)

Greg: Well hello there Nancy. So, when do you get a ride on the Greg express?

Nancy: You know what Greg? After I heard about you’re and Matt’s little escapades, I think I’ll walk myself for the next little while.

(Matt laughs)

Nancy: What the hell’s your problem? You know Matt, I knew that Greg was a jerk since third grade, but I never expected you to be a complete ass.

Greg: It’s not like she’s missing anything now. She can still graduate and be valedictorian. And you just wait; things may be looking up for her soon (He laughs).

Nancy: No she can’t. She came in this morning and quit school after missing first period for a doctor’s appointment. Her parents are furious at her and have taken away her car, her credit card, and she’s grounded. She’s getting another job and has turned down Oxford.

Matt: What? Doctor’s appointment? But it was all a joke… Why’d she quit? It’s near the end of school.

Nancy: What do you mean why? She’s pregnant, you moron. She can’t go through all that with a child, it may get hurt from all the exhaustion. That girl’s life was already a tad overzealous, but with a child? No way. I’m not surprised you’re still here. It’s not like you have to lose 9 months of your life and raise the thing. You were just around long enough to have some fun and then force your beliefs on her. It sickens me to think that I actually told her to take risks in life. If I didn’t want to get kicked out of school then I would deck you here and now. You’re a waste. You probably never though about anything but a few seconds of happiness. Well, I hope it was as good for you as her life’s going to be for her.

Matt: My god! I have to stop her. She doesn’t know that it was all a joke… or at least, it was suppose to be!

Nancy: What are you talking about?

(Greg and Matt look downtrodden and look around, feeling stupid. Matt then looks up at Nancy, who seems like she will hurt him soon)

Matt: Look, Greg and I played a joke on her. She wasn’t supposed to be pregnant.

Nancy: No shit. That’s why they call it an accident. She bought your little routine when she was drunk, but in the morning she sobered up. She knew she wasn’t pregnant. The girls a valedictorian you ass, she’s not going to believe a phony positive. Then she started getting sick, and well, the rest you know. At least, I think you do. You may be too dense to…

Matt: Just stop! I know, I know, it’s my fault and I’m an idiot. I’m going to fix this.

Greg: Dude, you can’t, we’ll get in so much trouble!

Matt: Greg, get the hell away from me, all right. I don’t think you’re helping. Look, Nancy, where’s July right now?

Nancy: I think she’s at home. She left crying after dropping valedictorian and school. Even exams were going to be too much she said.

Matt: Thanks. I need to go to her.

(Matt leaves)

Greg: So, uh, I guess I should go too.

Nancy: You know what Greg, I think we should sleep together.

Greg: What?

Nancy: Yeah. Actually, I think we already have.

Greg: Okay… I’m confused. When? Why don’t I remember this?

Nancy: And it seems that you are a 40-second wonder. Not to mention 3 inches. I think I’m going to tell everyone.

Greg: Nancy, come on, that’s not true. That’s not even… fair…I mean, I don’t deserve that kind of reputation!

Nancy: No, you deserve more, but I can’t get my hands on a transvestite right now, and killing you is against the law.

(Scene 6)

(Everyone is on stage except Jeff. They are drunk.)

July: Matt, are you sure?

Matt: Yes, quite. The condom ripped. I tried to stop you but you forced yourself on me. I think you should try to take this test I have. (Greg hands him a test that comes from his pocket.)

July: Why do you guys carry a pregnancy test on you? That’s a little odd.

Greg: I was, uh, in the Boy Scouts. Always be prepared and all that crap. (Turns to Nancy, who’s on his lap). I also learned how to tie a woman in knots…(whispers in her ear, she giggles).

July: Well, okay. Though I didn’t think these things worked a few minutes after.

Matt: Oh, yeah, this one’s special. They’re new, but you wouldn’t remember that since you’ve had too much to drink.

July: I have?

Matt: Yes, now go take the test.

July: I’m really good at tests (She leaves)

(Matt and Greg stand up and go to the least populated part of the stage)

Matt: That was the phony test, right?

Greg: Yeah man. She’s gonna hate us afterward. This is the best! First you get the smartest girl in school, then you have sex with her, and now she’s going to think she’s pregnant!

Matt: I know! Man, this the greatest. I can’t believe it’s working! Thank you Sam Adams! She wants more man, I don’t think that I can stay in suspense much longer.

Greg: Dude, just keep it up for a little longer and then we’ll tell her. I mean, come on, what’s one hour when you get to be with her again and have this much fun! I mean, I’m waiting on impressing Nancy. Well, maybe not impressing her, but certainly undressing her.

(They return, with Nancy sitting back on Greg’s leg. July returns, her face in her hands)

Matt: July, hun, what’s the matter?

July: Its… Its…

Matt: What?

July: Positive. I can’t believe it. I’m pregnant.

Matt: Oh my god. Here, sit down. Do you need anything?

July: Well, I could use another beer. I mean, it’s only been an hour…

Nancy: Here sweetie, I’ll get you one.

Matt: What are you, stupid? She’s pregnant! Don’t give her a beer! Alcohol will hurt my child! Get out of here!

Nancy: I was just trying to help. What should I get her?

Matt: Water would be good, unless you want to hurt her more.

Nancy: Okay, water, on it.

(She leaves)

July: matt, I don’t know what to do. I need something to calm me down, like a cigarette or some coffee.

(Nancy comes back as she says that, and hands the water to Matt)

Matt: Hun, you can’t have all that crap anymore. You have to think about our child.

July: But I don’t want a kid! I’m getting rid of it Matt.

Matt: What? That’s barbaric. Listen, all we have to do is dropout and then we can support the baby. We can get a little house, and I can work and you won’t have to worry about anything.

July: But what about Oxford? And being valedictorian? I don’t want to give that up!

Matt: Well, I don’t want you to kill our child. It’s our responsibility now.

Greg: And it’s not like it’s his fault you’re pregnant.

July: What did you say?

Greg: Well, he tried to stop you. I should know. I heard it out here. I mean, he kept yelling it loud enough that the neighbors heard it, and you didn’t seem to stop.

July: But, I didn’t think…This is all happening so fast. I didn’t even think you could test pregnancy this quick.

Greg: Well, I guess its time for you to start thinking. I mean, how selfish are you? Killing a kid just because you have a future? What the hell is your problem?

July: I… I’m… sorry. Matt, please, tell me what to do.

Matt: Actually, since I’m the one who’s going to be doing all the work, I still have to go to school. You know, I think that you should dropout and get the job until I start working. Then, I can still have a life. I mean, I’m nearly done university, and you’ve still got exams. Please.

July: (Crying) but… that’s not fair.

Matt: It was your mistake hun.

(July starts crying even more and runs out of the room. Matt and Greg start laughing.)

Nancy: Man, I guess that she should have listened. Are you guys sure that she didn’t read the test wrong?

Greg: Nah, these things are fool proof. A three year old could use it.

Matt: (Ignoring her) Damn man, I wanted to tell her tonight!

Greg: Dude, this is so much better. Let’s keep it going for a while. Best senior prank ever.

Nancy: Uh, tell her what exactly?

Greg: Nothing darling. Now, if I told you that you had a hot body, would you hold it against me?

Scene 5

(July and Nancy standing with drinks in hand)

July: Oh god, I can’t believe I’m here with Matt! He was so hot when I was a junior. I can’t believe he came back from university just to see me!

Nancy: I know! I told you to take chances! I mean, Jeff was okay, but Matt is so hot. Not to mention, you and Jeff would have turkey dropped anyway. I thought I was going to be the lucky one tonight.

July: Hmmm… do you mean Greg?

Nancy: Yeah… I mean, he’s always been this little jerk… but, well, you’ve heard the rumors. He’s huge!

July: I’m a little worried though. I’ve never been to a party, and now I’m at one, kissing Matt! It’s all too much for me to handle.

Nancy: Just go along for the ride darling. That’s what life is. It’s risks. And you have to have some fun. I mean, sure, Jeff was great, but he was holding you back. You are going to Oxford in three months, and you don’t want a long distance relationship. You have to be free. It’s a women’s choice darling, and we have to stay free, otherwise we won’t have any fun. I propose a toast to freedom!

July: I’ll drink to that!

Nancy: Hell, it’s a great reason to drink, and I don’t usually even need reasons to drink!

(They chug they’re beers. Matt enters and raps his arms around July, licking her ear)

July: Hey you. So, is there peanut butter on my ear or are you licking because you want something.

Matt: You know it. I just got the room reed up. We get first, so no annoying, disgusting messes. And tonight shall be the greatest night of your life.

July: I don’t know Matt. I mean, uh, I’m still…

Matt: Still what? Come on July, I thought we meant something to one another. Or was that just a lie?

July: We do, it’s just my first time, and I’m afraid.

Matt: Its not like this will change your life! It’s the union of our souls, and how can that be bad? I promise you, nothing bad will happen. All right?

July: Well, okay. Can’t be that bad with a hunk like you.

Matt: You know it babe.

(They kiss passionately and leave)

Nancy: That girl’s is going to end up a princess. We are so lucky to have known her before she hit the top.

Scene 4

(Enter Matt and Greg, both looking sad)

Matt: Look, Greg, the deals off

Greg: Why? I mean, she really likes you, and she probably will be at the party. I mean, come on man, you’re nearly done university! High school girls can’t turn someone like that down.

Matt: Dude, she’s been dating Jeff for 3 years now. She isn’t going to give it up at a party while in something like that. It was a stupid idea anyway.

Greg: Stupid? Hey! It’s one of my best pranks, and it’s going to work. We just have to use someone else.

Matt: Like who? The main idea of the plan was pivotal on July. She’s miss perfect and pure. Not like that rave chick you want.

Greg: Give me another day, and Nancy will know the ride that is Greg. She’ll be putty in my hands by the end of the party.

(Enter July, who walks up to Matt and hugs him)

July: Uh, Greg, could you leave us to talk for a while?

Matt: So, July, what do you want to talk about?

July: Well, I was thinking about what you asked me, and I have my answer.

Matt: Really? But what about Jeff?

July: Don’t worry about that. I’ve handled it myself. I need to start having some more fun in my life, and you’re it.

(She kisses Matt)

Matt: Wow. So, I guess this means you wouldn’t mind…

July: Shhhh! No more of that. Let’s have some fun, and no talking. I want excitement.

(Kisses Matt again, this time more passionately)

Matt: Oh…. Kay

(She leaves, smirking and looking quite confident. Greg comes back and looks surprised)

Greg: Deals back on?

Matt: You know it. This is going to be sweet. But how are we going to convince her that a test can tell within an hour?

Greg: The same way she’ll be okay sleeping with you. A little booze and a little less information on pregnancy testing, and she’ll be ours for the taking.

Matt: Nice. I can’t believe I’ve been back from university for 5 days and I’ve already got the hottest girl in my old high school.

Greg: Not to mention making my rep so much better. The girls won’t be able to turn away from Greg… the King.

Matt: We’re going to be legends.

Greg: And all the girls want the famous guys.

(They give high fives and a black out happens when they connect)

Scene 3

(Enter Jeff and July)

Jeff: July, what’s this all about?

July: Jeff, I have to talk to you about us. It’s about me going away.

Jeff: I know. I have to talk about that too. You see, I…

July: Jeff, it’s over. I can’t live out my life in England with you here in Canada. I want to see the world, and your love will hold me back.

Jeff: But… I have a way! I know how we can be…

July: Stop. I don’t want to hear anymore. We’re over. Don’t make it harder than it already is.

Jeff: But July, I know how we can be together!

July: Jeff, I don’t want to hear it! Dammit! This is what I was talking about! Every time I want to spread my wings and fly, you pull me back. Just stop. I don’t want to see you anymore. You remind me of all the life that I have missed. And I don’t want to see you are the party this weekend, or else.

Jeff: Life? I love you! Doesn’t that mean anything?

July: I want life! Love is just a ball and chain. And if I don’t go to that party, then I am missing more life than you can ever understand.

(July leaves. Jeff should look like he’s about to cry, and merely walk in the opposite direction)

Scene 2

(Matt and Greg enter. Kim, Nancy and July enter from the different end)

Matt: So, that’s her?

Greg: Yeah man. She’s been dating this guy Jeff, a real knob. All the guys hate the fact that he has this amazing piece of ass to himself. But that’s where you come in.

Matt: What do you mean where I come in?

Greg: Look, all the girls like university guys. Especially the ones who were seniors when they were just starting high school. All we have to do is get you and her together. Then you have sex…

Matt: What? When are we going to have sex? She barely knows me!

Greg: Don’t worry man. Nancy’s having a party, and I’ll keep her busy, if you know what I mean. Then you just have to follow the plan. I’ll tell you about it after English class, when the girls won’t be around. All you have to do is get the ball rolling now. Ask her to come with you to Nancy’s party.

Matt: Man, this can’t go wrong, right? I mean, if this works, I better end up the guy with the girl.

Greg: Don’t worry man. After this, they are going to be begging you to screw them. And Jeff will be left a virgin, laughed at for the last few months in high school. Just go over there, ask her, and she’ll melt in you manly arms!

(Greg high fives Matt, then leaves laughing. Matt starts walking behind the girls, who are in another world.)

Nancy: So, July, are you coming to my party or what?

July: Look, I want to, but you know that Jeff and I don’t do the whole party scene.

Nancy: Yeah… that’s Jeff talking.

July: Now stop that. He’s a great guy. I want to be with him. Its just this whole Oxford thing won’t let me do that.

Matt: (Clears throat) Excuse me ladies, but may I talk to July.

Nancy: Sure, uh, Matt, right?

Matt: yeah

Nancy: (Whispering to July) If he asks, do it honey. You can’t stay attached to a ball and chain your whole life! Live a little!

(She leaves)

July: So, Matt, what do you want to talk about?

Matt: Well, I wanted to ask you to Kim’s party tonight.

July: Look, Matt, I’m flattered and all, but I have a boyfriend, and he’s everything to me.

Matt: Oh, okay. Sorry, didn’t really know yet. Well, I’ll see you there then, I guess, right?

July: Oh… no.

Matt: Oh, well, then I’ll see you later then.

July: Yeah… bye.

(Matt leaves, July looks conflicted, Jeff Walks in)

Jeff: Hey, something wrong honey?

July: Jeff, you want to go to Nancy’s party later this week?

Jeff: Well, actually, I was hoping to talk to you tonight. I got great news.

July: Yeah. We should talk tonight.

Jeff: Sweet! Is something wrong?

July: Just meet me tonight, all right?

Jeff: Okay

(Blackout)

Scene 1

(Lights up. Matt is standing in a hall with a note in his hand, looking around. Greg enters from stage left, and July enters from stage right. Matt and July make eye contact. Greg interrupts with a devilish smirk on his face)

Greg: Hey, Matt, glad you got my email.

Matt: Yeah, long time no see little Greg. What’s all this about?

Greg: What if I told you that I have a plan that’ll make me a legendary prankster, and will get you with that girl you were making eyes with?

Matt: I’d say you were the best thing to come along today, next to her.

Greg: Buddy, this is only the beginning of the good times.

(The leave, and Jeff walks on stage holding an envelope)

Jeff: Sweet! July’s gonna love this. I got into Oxford! Now we don’t have to break up. This is going to be the best week of my life.
