Monologue 002: Child Care
Natalie is a 16 year old child care assistant. The kids are going out of control and she decides to call out the four kids who are the ring leaders and root of the problem. BRENNAN is freaking out because the kids are making fun of him, ALEX is yelling something at Brennan, DANE keeps telling her that it's all Brennan's fault, and PAUL is spinning around in circles making loud noises.
NATALIE: YOU FOUR! Right here! (points in front of her) Brennan, remember what we talked about? Are you gonna calm down? Because you're not calm. Alex! WHY ARE YOU YELLING? DO YOU THINK IT HELPS? BECAUSE I'M YELLING RIGHT NOW, DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER? ARE WE FIXING ANYTHING? Dane, really? All Brennan's fault? Why? Because he flirts with girls? Please, you're just jealous. You'll know when you're older. And PAUL! ...You're weird.
Go to class, all of you.

Character Study: The Words Best Friend Become Redefined
I'm in new territory now. The amount of people that I consider as my "best friends" has grown since last year. It has grown so much that I feel fake using the words, although I really do mean it. It used to be an easy concept for me, and suddenly I'm not so sure. You guys are my best friends for each a different reason, though.
Who are you people?
Allie, Andrew, Karen, Jane, Nolan and Lana
Allie - Not very many people can spend approximately 120 hours together without strangling each other. And to think, that's how our friendship began. When I wasn't sure if I would ever have another (girl) best friend, you showed up on time. You know more about me than anyone else and you're very good at rationalizing my insanity. The more time we spend with each other, the less skeptical I get of that fl on the end of bffl. =)
Andrew - FORfreakingEVER. Misery does love its company. And I love having you there to hate life as much as I do (when I do). I know we don't hang out so much but whenever we do, its always chill. You're like my anchor, everything around me could be spinning out of control but you will always be there. Same Drew. Nothing is ever going to change the way we are.
Karen - It's fate. I'm positive that pretty much 90% of my life wouldn't be the way it is if I didn't sit next to you in English (and end up with the same schedule as you) last year. You've definitely seen me in every single spastic mood swing I've ever had (cheerful, hungry, moody, pissy, crazy, depressed, hyper, etc.), and you're still with me even through all my highs and lows. The fact that you still deal with me is amazing. I feel so lucky to have you. And I promise I'll get my license soon!
Jane - Roooarr. Cream to my coffee! We've only been close friends for about a month but we're totally on a different level than anyone else. I'm closer to you than some people that I've known for years. And I feel like this is only the tip of the iceberg. The possibilities that I see for our friendship can only be described as o___0. Oh and don't feel bad about dragging me into your drama, it gives me purpose in life.
Nolan - I am going to commit to saying that I have the most fun with you. We have enough good times in one week to last a year. It's fun knowing that we could be the worst life ruining power couple in the world if we weren't simply more concerned with ourselves than others. On the flip side you are a pain in my ass. I honestly don't think I've ever been more frustrated with any of my friends ever in my life and there are times when I want to throw my hands up into the air and give up. Though as much as it seems like I hate it, I must say that you definitely keep things interesting and I'd be pretty bored without you.
Lana - My little Mormon! I am proud to take responsibility for opening your eyes to a new world of corruption. =D But I thank you for being a beam of hope in a world where I question whether good people exist anymore. You're stunningly beautiful.

Teen Angst: Thank You for the Let Down
I'm not sure how I feel about this. For the first time ever you've disappointed me. I think it's completely unfair, I've been totally cool about surrendering the front seat to her lately. I believe I deserve to ask you to make me a priority for one day out of the week, fuck, even one hour. I get that for the past 3 years I've been the only priority but you can't expect me to just let you drop me on the fucking floor because she's in the picture. I have been making such a huge effort in sharing. I didn't even really give a fuck until right now. I'm still in complete disbelief about what you've done. I don't even know how to feel right now, I never thought that you would ever do something like this to me. I'm not sure if I'm angry or sad or indifferent or what. This shouldn't even be a huge deal because I got where I needed to go, but this has never happened, you have never done this before. I feel like almost crying I'm so overwhelmed with mixed emotion. Frustrated. I'd expect the other one to frustrate me, but never you. Hell I'd expect anyone else to frustrate me, but never you.
I just hope and pray to God that you have a good excuse.
