A High School Love Story Act 1 Scene 1-“My Name Is…”

Act 1 Scene 1-“My Name Is…”

Act 1 Scene 1-“My Name Is…”- School Hallway

Sebastian, Xavier, and Riley are walking down the hallway of their school on the first day of 11th grade. Sebastian is somewhat upset.

Sebastian

I can’t believe this. It’s been so many years and I still haven’t found the girl for me.

Xavier

That’s because you’re too picky.

Riley

It’s true. We’ve known you since like 6th grade and we’ve seen so many girls get a crush on you but they never seem to be “good enough” for you.

Sebastian

Look. I’m okay with getting a really hot girl like the ones that I’ve seen before, but I want a girl who’s beautiful and SMART, you know. There’s more than just the looks that you should like girls for.

Riley

Like?

Sebastian

Like how smart they are, how nice they are, how they act, how they think…

At that moment two cheerleaders pass by, Riley and Xavier stare at them.

Xavier

Dibbs on the hot one!

Riley

Dude I saw her first!

Xavier and Riley continue arguing as they exit offstage following the cheerleaders. Sebastian talks to himself as he continues to walk to class by himself.

Sebastian

All I want is a girl who is sweet and considerate, who would talk to me about how she’s feeling and is herself no matter what anyone else thinks.

Bell Rings....

Sebastian

Well, guess I’d better hurry to class.

Sebastian gets to class, then opens the door for the cheerleaders, followed by Xavier & Riley, who are still arguing about them. Sebastian hesitates to walk into class and instead goes to drink water from the drinking fountain on the other side of the hallway. As Sebastian begins to drink water, Diana walks out of the classroom and stops right next to him.
