Mary: (frustrated) Listen I'm not going to college. Nobody will make me. If you are all desperate to know why it's because I can't. What college will accept a kid who was locked out of basketball because her grades were slipping and vandalized the school gym? Answer that question and then I will go to college.

Eric: Mary you know that your mistakes in High school don't mean a thing. You have straight A's now and you can get into a great college like Crawford. You haven't even tried to apply.

Ruthie: Yeah Mary. That's what I have been trying to tell you for the past 2 weeks!

Mary: And why do you, Ruthie Camden care so much that I go to college?

Ruthie: (angrily) Because you're my older sister! Because I love you and I hate seeing you waste your life like this. Jobless and someone who is wasting their life by NOT going to college!

With that Ruthie ran out of the room. She went outside and slammed the door behind her. Just then the guy appeared.

Guy: (calmly) Ruthie Listen

Ruthie: (still angry) No you listen! I don't care anymore! I don't care if she doesn't go to college! She's being a jerk! It's her decision now not mine. She wants to make this big mistake well let her I don't care!

Just then Mary came out of the house.

Mary: Ruthie listen I'm sorry for saying what I said.

Ruthie: Why won't you go?

Mary: Listen if it means that much to you I'll go

Ruthie: (uncertainly) When

Mary: Not this year but next year

Ruthie: Why not this year?

Mary: Take it or leave it

Ruthie: (sullenly) Leave it

Mary: Fine

Just then Ruthie remembered how Mary had said that the reason she wouldn't go is because she has no money, no job, or any scholarship. She now had an idea. Mary Camden was going to college no matter what.
