Narrator
Act I
Narrator: Hundreds of fourth graders ran crazy, scattering to cover the entire
playground. Most of the boys ran to the field behind the swings and most the girls ran to
the swings to watch the boys pick their teams. May sat on a swing waiting to be picked.
Ben: I choose John N.
Greg: I choose.......Casey P.
Ben: I choose May.
Greg: (Yelling at Ben) What! You can’t! I wanted her! It wasn’t your turn any ways!
You have to wait your turn!
Ben: was too my turn. You chose Casey.
Greg: Well, I didn’t want Casey. I was about to replace him with May.
(He turned around to face May)
May you’re on my team!
Narrator: Ben took Greg by the shoulder and turned him around so they were face to
face.
Ben: (Yelling at Greg)You know it was my turn. I picked her fair and square! Pick
someone else!
(He turned towards May)
You know you’re on my team. Now come back over here.
May: Well Greg, he did pick me first and yes, it was his turn to choose. You will just
have to pick someone else.
Greg: (Yelling at both Ben and May) The two of you bite! It was my turn! She is on
myyyy team! I don’t have to put up with this! I quit! I don’t want to play with you losers
anymore!
(Looking around trying to find someone he began to scream at the top of his lungs.)
Travis! Trav - is! Where are you Travis! Travis you no good....
Narrator: With a haughty attitude Travis interrupts just before Greg completes his
sentence
Travis: If I were you......I would not want to finish that statement. Now would I?
Greg: (voice quivering) No. No, No I wouldn’t.
Travis: Now what’s with all the yelling? What you want with me?
Narrator: Greg replies in snobbish way, combined with a tattle tale kind of attitude.
Greg: Ben and May are cheating and..
Narrator: Travis interrupts, mocking Greg.
Travis: “Ben and May are cheating and .... and” And What you want me to do about?
Tell the teacher!? Ha. Ha. Ha.
Narrator: Greg looked down at his feet avoiding eye contact with Travis. He then took
three steps back. And when he began to talk he stumbled.
Greg: Well, Well if you are going to be that way then...
Travis: Then, Then what?
Greg: Nothing.
Narrator: In a small and quick burst of confidence blurted out, “I’ll just have to pick
someone else to pick my team.” Then he ran off screaming, “He’s going to kill me!”
May Began to chuckle. Travis then turned around to look at her and gave her a dirty
look.
Travis: What ere you laughing at?
May: Your ugly, big, fat, dirty face!
Travis: Did you want to get pounded into the ground or something.?
May: Yes, I think I should enjoy pounding you back into the deep dark hole you climbed
out of!
Travis: I’m not going to bother with you! Besides if I hit you my fist would get stuck in
all your blubber!
May: What did you say to me you ugly skunk?
Narrator: Ben sarcastically interrupts
Ben: I don’t mean to intrude in your love fest, but can we just play the game?
Narrator: Ben then ran off scared the two of them would go after him. (They almost
did)
Travis: I don’t love her!
May: I don’t love him!
Travis and May: You best watch what you say to me!!
Travis: Whose team is May on?
May: I am on Ben’s team.. What’s it to you skunk boy?
Travis: Good! I wouldn’t want to be an the same team as that fat *itch!
Narrator: May Raised her fist about to knock Travis out when across the play ground she
heard Aaron begging and pleading for his life. She then turned around and began to look
around to locate were Aaron was.
Travis: Hey, sounds like you need to go save your boyfriend!
May: Bite me skunk boy!
Narrator: May located Aaron and began to run to help him. About half way there she
turned around and shouted, “I’m not finished with you skunky!”
Act II
Narrator: May just barely made it to him in time. Just as Leon was about to hit Aaron
she stepped in. Leon was not paying attention and swung. Leon hit May instead of
Aaron. Frightened by his mistake he slowly stepped back.
Leon: Now May, Don’t get mad. You had no rite stepping in. You weren’t suppose to
get the beat down. You can’t hold me responsible.
May: You OK Aaron?
Aaron: Yea I’m fine. Thanks.
Narrator: Leon ran as far as the soccer field and stopped. He began to yell at May and
Aaron. He had a little attitude in his voice trying to look cool to on lookers.
Leon: Hay Aaron, your body guard ain’t going to be able to save you next time. Yea I
whooped May good!
Narrator: The other guys just looked at Leon like he was crazy. They told him that if any
one got whooped it was him.
May: Leon, what are you doing over there? Scared of me? Come say it to my face!
Leon: I’m not scared of you! I could beat you blind folded and with both hands tied
behind my back!
Narrator: A few of the boys were tiered of him always boasting and they were watching
his every move so they pulled his shirt over his head so he couldn’t see. Then they took
his belt off and tied his hands behind his back. They told him, “We would be happy to
take you up on that bet.” Many of the school kids gathered around him and started to
take bets. One boy began to shout, “50 cents on May. “It’s going to be a quick fight but
even if he could use his fist and could see. He would loose one way or another!”
Leon: Tony? What are you saying? I’m Telling mom when we get home. You are going
to get into allot of trouble!
Tony: So what! I’m going to tell mom you hit a girl!
Leon: What girl? I never hit any girl!
Tony: May. What do you think May is? I’m telling dad you hit a girl any ways. Ha. Ha.
May: What?
Tony: Nothing.
Narrator: The eminence crowd began to whisper, “She’s coming. She’s coming.” Just
as May reached Leon the bell rang and everyone began to run in. Travis cuts in, “Hey
every one, Leon Peed his pants and is crying like a girl.”
Tony: You are such a wimp. Can’t stand up to a GIRL. What kind of man are you?
May: Skunk boy! Hey skunk boy what do you know about being a man?
Narrator: She raised her fist to him to see what he would do.
May: Ha. you flinched. Your a wimp too! I’m not finished with you any ways. You
just wait until tomorrow. Don’t you even dare think about calling in sick!
Narrator: Aaron and May slowly strolled back to class talking.
Aaron: You know I’m a big boy. I can take the beat down. Thanks any way. Truthfully
though, I’m glad it wasn’t me.
Narrator: May playfully pushed Aaron lightly.
May: I know you were. Besides that little slap would have knocked you out cold!
Aaron: NO it wouldn’t have! I can take it just fine!
May: My God Aaron, you don’t have to be so defensive!
Aaron: Well, you attacked me!
May: No I didn’t. But If you want me to I can!
Aaron: NOOOOOO!
Narrator: Aaron ran off into the school screaming . May chased after him screaming, “I
was just kidding around. You know I would never hurt you. Aaron! Aaron are you
going to tell on me? Hey were are you?”
