ANTWAN, a thirteen-year old boy
GINA, Antwan’s classmate
SAM, Gina’s cousin and Antwan’s friend

[Curtains open to the bus stop. Antwan and Gina are waiting for the bus. Gina is writing on her notebook. Antwan tries hard to read what Gina is writing. Enter Sam.]

SAM: Hey, guys. I’m riding with you guys. No early band practice today.

[Gina continues to write]

ANTWAN: [whispers] Can you find out what she’s writing? Her main points?

SAM: No. Why would I do that?

ANTWAN: You're my best friend.

SAM: I'm also her cousin.

GINA: Hey, Sam. When did you get here? How’s Aunt Tilda? Better?

SAM: Yeah. Much better. Still can’t drive yet. So, I'm taking the bus. What are you working on?

GINA: Nothing your friend Antwan needs to know.

SAM: Sorry. Sorry. My life would be so much easier if you two got along.

[Gina and Antwan exchange looks and turn away from each other]

GINA: Maybe after I win the debate and crush him.

ANTWAN: Maybe after I wipe her tears with my medal’s ribbon.

SAM: Goodness. You are vicious. Always trying to beat the other. What happened to being best friends?

GINA: 2020 to Sam, that was three years ago. [softly] Antwan used to be a sweet guy.

ANTWAN: [softly] Gina used to help me out.

GINA: Until you took all the credit for the science trophy when they interviewed you.

SAM: [grunts] Not again.

[Bus rolls in and stops. Curtains fall.]
