ACT ONE

(Lights Up. The stage opens of a school courtyard. Boys are playing basketball; girls are talking about whatever they talk about)

(Two boys come across the stage talking. They are holding books and binders, etc. On the other side, BILLY, the biggest bully ever, enters and purposely bumps into one of them, DANNY)

BILLY Look where you're going, punk!

JACOB (other boy, standing up for DANNY) You know you did it, Billy!

BILLY And what if I did?

JACOB Then we should be telling YOU to look where you're going.

BILLY Don't be giving me no wise cracks. Hit the road, Jack.

JACOB It's Jacob.

BILLY Tomata, Tomato. However it is your dad cooks them.

JACOB My dad's the best cook ever, okay?

BILLY Really?

DANNY (breaking it up) Guys, come on. Let's go, Jacob.

BILLY You afraid, Daniel Spitnicker?

DANNY It's Spillin.

BILLY Are you correcting me?

DANNY Maybe I am.

BILLY You'll need this... (he swings to punch DANNY)

SALLY (stopping BILLY from punching DANNY) Billy, stop it! They didn't do anything to you!

BILLY That's not what I think.

SALLY Do I care? No! Leave this instance or I'll...JUST LEAVE!

(BILLY leaves. Girls and boys also leave in different directions.)

DANNY (falling in love with her) Umm, thanks Sally.

JACOB (not meaning it) Yeah, whatever. I'm heading to English. (exits)

DANNY That jerk! Billy can be so frustrating. I just want to... (pantomiming punching BILLY)
