(Look at each other than the audience)Wow ( the TEEN Assemble forms a TABLEAU on the second one of mischief and one of enjoyment)
TIM: I got it(picks it up and reads it) Let me see. What do we have here? 
We freeze
It was Tim his responsibility to take her around. Make sure she got to her classes. Make sure she wasn’t eating alone at lunch. And then make sure she was OK at the end of the day. It was between AP calculus and be biology II when she first met Dallas
We unfreeze

We unfreeze
Oh. well. So nice to meet you
We freeze
The way she looked at Dallas, it was all right there. It was hunger. like an animal.
We unfreeze
Another teen leans forward towards Cane and Candy and gossip and ask can you keep a secret
All the other teams lean forward as well then say yes!
I’m kinda hot for Tim 
We return to our tableau
Great! It’s a secret though. Their parents are super strict. You can keep a secret, right?
Teens look at the audience
This does not leave this room
This is just one of those just-us-talking moments I get it. trust me.
Trust me
TEENS: Trust me (Teams turn back and watch Dallas and gossip with a strange enjoyment)
Andy’s nice
We freeze
She was lying. Right there. I can see it now. She was blatantly lying. She didn’t like me.
We unfreeze
Dallas: right?
TEENS: (satisfied) Right
Andy: It was wild how Dallas and gossip hit it off. Like mad. I didn’t really see anything wrong with it. I just thought they were becoming friends. But the motive masked it all.
(The teams form a semi circle around gossip in Dallas in a new tableau)
Gossip:Do you think Tim will try out
Try out
Dallas finally loses it she screams gossip stop screaming at me seriously just leave me alone for one second I can’t think Jeez just leave me alone
We all freeze
Andy: Nice people like Dallas, they’re fine until they’re pushed too far. Because, when pushed, they fill up with frustration, like filling up a water balloon. They’re fine as You’re feeling them… Until boom. They burst. They Just can’t help it
We unfreeze, teens exit the scene quickly
