Kevin gets his lunch in the school cafeteria. He walks over to a table.

Kevin:

(shy)

Uh, hi, Stacey.

Stacey:

Do I know you?

Kevin:

Well, uh, not really.

Stacey:

Then, like, why are you bothering me?

Kevin:

Well, I was just wondering if...I could sit here...maybe.

Stacey:

Uh, most of the other tables are empty. Most of the other kids have

already eaten.

(suddenly bitter)

That's what you get for misplacing your lunch money.

Kevin:

Are you speaking from personal experience?

Short pause.

Stacey:

Yeah.

Kevin:

Mike Vincent?

Stacey:

Yeah. I hid it so he wouldn't find it, but then I forgot where I put

it, so I couldn't find it. But then I DID find it. So,

I'm here, eating.

Kevin:

Uh, yeah, I kinda figured.

(short pause)

Can I sit down here?

Stacey:

(uninterested)

If you want.

Kevin:

Thanks!

Kevin sits down across from Stacey.

Kevin:

I'm Kevin - Kevin Keene!

Stacey:

(suddenly interested)

The video game geek?!

Kevin:

Uh,...yeah.

Stacey:

Stacey Anderson.

Kevin:

(excited)

I know!

Stacey:

Hey, I heard you know where to get discount rates on video game

cartridges!

Kevin:

YOU like video games?!

Mike:

(gleeful)

Well, looky what we have here!

Kevin:

Oh, no.

Mike sits down between Kevin and Stacey.

Mike:

How's it goin', Keene?

(takes Kevin's chocolate milk)

I come all the way over here and save you from Stacey, and all you've

got for me is a chocolate milk?

(short pause)

So, Stacey, you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?

Stacey:

(automatic, toneless response)

Fuck off.

Mike:

Yeah. Right. Well, uh,...

Kevin and Stacey pick up their trays, stand up, and walk away.

Mike:

(yelling)

Hey! Get back here!
