Scene: A Bedroom – Night
Characters:
- Chloe: A bubbly, outgoing girl in her early twenties.
- Olivia: A more reserved, thoughtful girl, also in her early twenties.
(Scene opens with Chloe sprawled on Olivia’s bed, scrolling through her
phone. Olivia is sitting at her desk, doing homework.)
Chloe: OMG, Olivia! You will NOT believe the text I just got.
Olivia: (Without looking up) Let me guess. Another guy who thinks your cat
pictures are the highlight of his day?
Chloe: (Laughing) Worse! He actually asked me out! To a bowling alley.
Olivia: (Raises an eyebrow) And?
Chloe: And… I said yes! I mean, it’s bowling. How bad can it be?
Olivia: (Sighs) Speaking of bad, how’s things with Mark?
Chloe: (Shrugs) He’s… Mark. Sweet, but kind of… bland. Like vanilla ice
cream. Delicious, but not exactly exciting.
Olivia: So, maybe bowling is a good change of pace. Something different.
Chloe: Maybe. What about you? Any romantic developments on your end?
Still seeing Ethan?
Olivia: (Shakes her head) No. It fizzled out. We’re still friends, which is
good, but… I think we wanted different things.
Chloe: Aw, that sucks. But hey, there are plenty of fish in the sea, right?
Or… more accurately, plenty of people who aren’t Ethan.
Olivia: (Smiles faintly) I guess so. I’m not actively looking, though. I’m
focusing on school and… you know… myself.
Chloe: That’s a good plan. Self-love is important! But also, bowling.
Bowling is fun.
Olivia: (Chuckles) I’ll keep that in mind. Maybe I’ll join you next time. For
moral support, of course.
Chloe: Deal! Now, tell me more about this “focusing on yourself” thing. Is it
as fun as bowling?
(Chloe and Olivia laugh. The scene fades as they continue their
conversation.)
