Random Scenes

These are a few ranom scenes I've written to put together with more scenes I havent written yet for a play. It's a work in progress but it comes to me in different patches so I don't have any other scenes but these ones that came to me. ha




THE UNFINISHED SCENE

Mr. West: (walk to doorway) Mida, your father's in the driveway (exits)

Mida: Ok (Opens eyes a little and lightly hits Derek's chest) Come on. (Starts getting up)

Derek: (Pulls Mida back onto the couch) He's not here yet. (Groggy voice with eyes closed)

Mida: Yea he is babe. (Looks at phone) He even just texted me. (Gets up)

(Derek gets up, takes Mida's hand, leads her through the house and out the front door)
(They continue to the car giggling)

Derek: Is he on his laptop?

Mida: As always...let's see if we can get his attention. (Smiles and winks as she pulls closer to Derek)

(Derek wraps his arms around Mida's waist as she wraps hers around his neck. As they start kissing, they begin getting more and more intense until they are officially making out. Derek starts pushing her toward the car and lifts her onto the hood. He starts rubbing her back and sliding a hand up the back of her shirt while his other hand rubs her leg.)

Mida: (Smiles and leans closer to Derek's ear and whispers) We're trying to get his attention, not make a death wish.









THE TRUTH & THE BREAK UP SCENE

Mida: (Almost angry) DOn't you get it? We're graduating, in just a few months. This is it, Kyle. We're going off to college, all of us. We're all going out on our own and going our separate ways. I mean, who knows how far we're all going. I know I can't let my friends influence where my future is going, but... Kyle, you guys mean the world to me and I'm not ready to lose you.

Kyle: What do you think texting and cell phones are for? There's always facebook. Mida, you're overreacting.

Mida: I am not overreacting! I know that there's texting and and and, facebook, but you're just not understand the reality of this are you? Texting? Facebook? Do you realize that we all see each otheronly once or twice a week now and we're all within 20 minutes of each other? How often fo we talk outside of when we see each other in person? Huh? I mean, if we're already caught up in our daily lives too much to talk to each other now... Do I have to go on?

Kyle: Mi, it's okay...

Mida: No its not okay! (Let's a tear slip) I don't wanna lose you guys.

Kyle: So what? Are you telling me you're not going off to college?

Mida: No. Whether I go off to college or not doesn't affect whether you do or whther any of my other friends do or not. And if I don't, then what? What am I gonna do? Work at McDonald's for the rest of my life? Constantly regretting not taking what could be the biggest oportunity of ever? I can't do that Kyle.

Kyle: Than what do you want, Mida? (Getting angry himself)

Mida: (Pauses) I just wat to konw that I'm never gonna lose you...

Kyle: Oh, Mida. You couldn't lose me if you tried. (Smiles and hugs Mida as she starts crying)

(TANYA enters; feeling confused and awkward by her boyfriend hugging a close mutual friend)

Tanya: What's...what's goin on? (Laughs awkwardly as Mida pulls away from Kyle)

Mida: I was just... (Looks Kyle in the eye) leaving. Goodbye Kyle. (Nods and partially smiles at Tanya and then exits)

Tanya: What was that? What's going on?

Kyle: It's nothing. She's just a little upset. Anyway, I, uh, I wanted to talk to you about something.

Tanya: Sure, what's happening baby?

Kyle: (Takes a deep breath then exhales) I'm... I'm going off for college, in about seven months.

Tanya: Yea, I know that.

Kyle: I'm... I'm going all the way to Georgia. All the way...

Tanya: So what is it Kyle?

Kyle: I... I don't think I can do that to you.

Tanya: So what? What are you talking about?

Kyle: I can't... I can't let you miss out on life while I'm out living and making mine.

Tanya: What are you trying to say?

Kyle: I think it's best if we just (pauses) if we're just friends.

Tanya: Wait, are you breaking up with me?

Kyle: I... Tanya, you can't be limited when I leave. I don't want you to miss out on life because you're staying and waiting for.

Tanya: I... I don't know what to say.

Kyle: I'm sorry Tanya.

Tanya: I... I... I gotta go. Bye Kyle. (Starts crying and exits)

(Kyle reaches out as the door slams and then hangs his head) END SCENE







THE AFTERMATH OF THE FIRST DATE SCENE

(Car pulls up to the curb in front of a big, beautiful, white house. Derek and Mida slide out of the backseat holding hands and smiling)

Derek: Ugh, I gotta go home.

Mida: Derek, you are home. (Smiles)

Derek: No. See I'm not home until I step onto that curb. Until then, I'm still with you. (Smiles and wraps arms around Mida's waist as he pulls her closer)

Mida: (Smiles) Oh ok. (Laughs a little and looks into Derek's eyes as she puts her arms around his waist)

Derek: Man, I'm so lucky to have you.

Mida: No, I'm the lucky one.

Derek: No, I am

Mida:: Are we gonna have this conversation again? (Smiles)

Derek: (Leans in and kisses Mida) I'm the lucky one. (Smiles)

Mida: (Smiles) Ok, ok. Whatever you have to tell yourself to get to sleep at night.

Derek: (Laughs a little and leans back to look at Mida) You're mine. (Almost as an epiphany)

Mida: Yea... I'm yours. (Kisses Derek)

(As Mida goes to pull back from the kiss, Derek pushes in and continues to kiss her)

Mr. Hope: (From the driver's seat) Save some for later.

Mida: (Leans back, smiles) I love my dad, I love my dad, I love my dad...

Derek: (Laughs) He's gonna kill you...

Mida: (Shakes her head and smiles) Nuh uh.

Derek: (Nods his head and smiles) Yea huh.

Mida: (Laughs a little) Nuh uh!

(Slow, romantic music starts playing in the car. Mida looks through the door to see her dad smiling at her)

Mida: Once again, I love my dad. (Smiles and laughs a little)

Derek: This is a good song. As soon as this song is over, I gotta go home though.

Mida: (Gives the puppy dog face) I could just kidnap you. (Smiles)

Derek: Oh, ok. I'm cool with that. But my parents...not so much.

Mida: ((Laughs as she hugs him tighter and leans her head on his chest as they stand there in silence for a bit) I'm so happy to be with you. (Smiles)

Derek: Baby I'm happy to be withyou too. (Smiles and rests his chin on Mida's head) But I think this song is just about over.

Mida: No it's not. (Laughs a little then gives a sad face) You have to go home now?

Derek: Unfortunately...(Kisses Mida one last time) I'll miss you.

Mida: I'll miss you too. (Gives a sad face)

Derek: I'm gonna shower and then I'll text you, ok?

Mida: Ok. (Smiles)

(Derek holdss Mida's hand as he reluctantly steps onto the curbs and gets to the sidewalk then finally lets go hesitantly. They exchange looks and blow kisses to each other and then Mida gets into the car)

Mr. Hope: What? (Smiles) END SCENE
