TERRI

(Enters infuriated. Throws the baseball

equipment down on the carpeted floor.) 

            SARAH

(Does not hear the dramatic entrance.)

            TERRI

(Picks up the equipment, screams louder to

compete with the walkman, hoping to get

SARAH's attention, and throws the equipment

down, again.)

            TERRI

I hate boys!!!

            SARAH

(Trying to hear through the walkman)

Lost the game?

            TERRI

Never rely on a boy.

            SARAH

(artificial) 

I'll make a note.

            TERRI

I made a fool of myself!!!

            SARAH

Huh? Bad game?

            TERRI

(Glares)

            SARAH

I've never known you to be so wierd after a game.

            TERRI

It depends on the game.

            SARAH

Softball.

            TERRI

No...Todd Lancing.

            SARAH

(doesn't want to get into Todd Lancing.

She has heard it before.) 

            TERRI

In front of my friends, I made a fool of myself in front of everyone.

  (sits on sofa)

            SARAH

Strike out?

            TERRI

No! I didn't strike out. I hit 3 triples, one single, 2 double plays and I made a driving catch for a line drive.

(There is a pause for TERRI, right now,

does not want to talk about it.)

            SARAH

(turning off the walkman)

Why are you acting so pointless?

            TERRI

It's over.

(goes into tears)

            SARAH         

Softball?

            TERRI

I am not talking about softball!!!

            SARAH

Maintain.

(Gets up and goes to the kitchen, off stage,

to get a soda.)

            TERRI

I'm sorry.  Boys!!

            SARAH

(Coming back from the kitchen)

Oh! I see. You and Todd, again.

            TERRI

He won't even speak to me.

            SARAH

(Shows no interest.) 

            TERRI

I am a fool!

            SARAH

(jabbing)

So, what else is new.

            TERRI

(Stands up and glares)

Sarah sometimes.

            SARAH

(tauntingly) 

Yes?

            TERRI

(Controlling her anger) 

I'm upset. 

            SARAH

Yes?

            TERRI

I'll never face my friends again.

            SARAH

So...who...

            TERRI

I am a complete idiot!!!!

            SARAH

Is this a realization?

            TERRI

Sarah, the point is I don't know what's the matter with  me. It'll never be forgotten, ever!
