(Paulo and Gerard enter)
Gerard: Paulo, did you bring the stuff for Chemistry?
Paulo: Well, I forgot the hydrochloric acid. They told me that you can find it in the stomach
Gerard: What? So, you are going to cut yourself for Chemistry? Who is supposed to be my lab partner then?
Paulo: Who said that I will cut myself? I will cut you
Gerard: What? You are insane!
Paulo: Hahaha!!! Now, give me a scalpel and some dissecting scissors
Gerard: Why don’t we just ask others if they have extra?
Paulo: Great idea! You go
Gerard: No, you go! You are supposed to bring it
Paulo: Fine, but it is easier for you to be cut open
(Alex enters)
Paulo: Hey Alex
Alex: Oh! Hey Pau (Blushes). What do you want from me?
Paulo: Can I ask some hydrochloric acid? I forgot to bring
Alex: Hihihi! Sure, just ask from Jasmine!
Paulo: Where is she?
Alex: She is coming.
Paulo: Oh. Thanks
(Alex turns away)
Alex (to herself): Damn you Alex! You didn’t make a move. Damn you
(Jasmine and Daniel enter)
Daniel: So, if we carry one here, you will get x equal to plus-minus 10. Voila!
Jasmine: That actually makes sense! Thank you
Daniel: Well, don’t thank me! Thank Mr. Walter for teaching me
Jasmine: I swear to myself that you are the only one who understands him
Daniel: Well, I swear to God that you are right
Paulo: There is Jasmine, ask her for the acid
Gerard: I … I can’t Paulo
Paulo: Why not?
Gerard: She might say no
Paulo: Oh boy, here we go again
Gerard: I mean, she is cute, intelligent, and she is a very good dancer. Why would she give some Chemistry acid to me, a no-good football player who is a very bad dancer?
Paulo: STOP BEING NEGATIVE GERARD! It’s just acid, what could go wrong
Gerard: It’s just acid! Are you hearing yourself? Then again, you are right! I must stand up to my fears and be a man
(Gerard goes to Jasmine)
Paulo: Works every time J
Gerard: Hey … Jasmine
Jasmine (Blushing): Hey Walt! You look good today
Gerard: Well, you smell good today
Jasmine: What?
Gerard: Oh! Sorry. (To himself) Bad move, bad move
Jasmine: Oh. You must have noticed my new perfume
Gerard: Yeah!
Jasmine: Well, you are the very first one
Gerard: The scent matches the color of your eyes
Jasmine: Oh. Hihihi
Alex: Aw! That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard
Jasmine: Quiet Alex. Anyways, what’s up?
Gerard: Well, I was just asking if you have some spare hydrochloric acid.
Alex: Oh yeah! Paulo came to me a while ago to ask for the hydrochloric acid.
Jasmine: Oh! Here you go
Gerard: Thanks J
(Walks away)
Alex: I think he likes you
Jasmine: No! Why a handsome, varsity football player like him would will ever like an ugly, no-good dancer like me?
Alex: I don’t know! That is love I guess
Jasmine: Shut up
Paulo (to Gerard): Good move Gerard. I think she likes you
Gerard: Why would someone …
Paulo: Oh don’t get me started
Gerard: Fine, but it loses something
Daniel (to himself): Where is Walter?
(Walter and Coral enter)
Walter: Well, JFK never saw the men go to the moon. He was assassinated in 1963
Coral: Yes, but without him, the moon landing of 1969 will be an insane fantasy
Walter: I like talking to you about history! We should to this more often
Coral: Noted! Here is my number! Call me J
Walter: Thanks J
(Both separate ways)
Daniel: What was that all about?
Walter: Oh nothing! We just talked about history, that’s all
Daniel: Wow! Good move! Are you going to ask her to the dance?
Walter: What dance?
Daniel: The one we will have next week Friday
Walter: Oh! That dance
Daniel: So, are you going to ask her?
Walter: I don’t know
Daniel: Why not?
Walter: She might say no
Daniel: And why ever she will not accept?
Walter: Imagine, a lunatic lusting for love like me will go out and dance with a very intelligent intellectual like her? That’s preposterous
Daniel: What? Both of you are intellects! Two intellects mix Walter!
Walter: I’ll think about it, Daniel
Daniel: Don’t think, do it!
Walter: What?
Daniel: Stop being so negative
Walter: How about you and Seashell?
Daniel: No progress lately.
Walter: Oh! Too bad, are you going to ask her?
Daniel: Possibly no
Walter: Why?
Daniel: Imagine, a boy …
Walter: We will talk about this later. Ms. Foxy is here
Daniel: Oh. You mean the teacher you had a crush on during first year?
Walter: Shut up
Daniel: I still remember you giving roses to her during Valentines’ day
Walter: Don’t make me remember
Foxy: Class, we are moving to the laboratory, please make sure to bring all your requirements
Walter: Shoot, I forgot the hydrochloric acid
Paulo: You want to have?
Walter: Where?
Paulo: Show your stomach and let me cut it
Gerard: That’s enough Paulo
Coral: You can have some of mine, I have plenty
Walter: Thanks
Foxy: Please move out now
(All exit)
