Act I Scene I: Dilemma. (Starring Aimee, Olivia, and Groupies)

[NOTE:  A new individual character you will see in this scene is "Gavin".  He is a guy Groupie]

(Curtain opens to see Aimee at her desk.  She is alone.  From the look on her face she either wants to rip her hair out or hit something really hard.  She picks up a pen and begins to write.)

Aimee (writes):  Dear Journal,
                         Well if I didn't have enough on my plate to deal with.  Turns out Gavin has had a lot on his mind.  As I mention earlier, he likes Olivia.  Yeah, no big deal, a lot of guys like her (maybe because she is so freakin' amazing).  Anyway, she's my sister and I love her.  Anyway, Gavin said he has recently been getting feelings for me.  Really?  Really now?  I couldn't believe it.  I mean, Olivia already turned him down, saying she doesn't see him that way.  Well...  I don't see him like that either!  Gosh.  I hate guys sometimes.  I think the only reason he is starting to "like" me is because he knows he can't have Olivia.  Ouch.  Makes me feel like a second pick, a back up plan if you will.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.  Well I have homework to do, ciao.

(Aimee puts away pen and book.  Pulls out textbook and calculator.  Starts doing math.  Enter Olivia.)

Olivia:  I had the best day at school today! 

Aimee:  Is that so? 

Olivia:  Yes!  I had piano and guitar today.  And I scored high on my Latin quiz.  Oh, I loved today!

Aimee:  (absentmindedly) That's nice to hear.  Sorry Ollie, I don't mean to be a bum, but I have a lot to do so... (points to homework)

Olivia:  It was just the perfect day!  (sits on bed)  And that cute guy in my math class I told you about?  Yeah, he was sooooo looking at me. 

Aimee:  (sighs and gives up on doing homework.  Closes book and turns towards Olivia.)  Did you talk to him?

Olivia:  (while laughing)  Well no, but I knew if I threw in a guy story it would get your attention.

Aimee:  (laughs too)  Yeah, yeah.  What can I say?  I'm completely female.

Olivia:  (looks down nervously)  So what's the deal with Gavin?  I was talking to *Groupie member* and she said he likes you or something like that.

Aimee:  (rolls her eyes and turns back to her desk)  I am not going to get into this with you right now.  I just ugh....

Olivia:  (eyes wide)  So its true!  How do you feel?  Would you date him??  ARE you GOING TO??

Aimee:  Olivia!  Quiet!  Gosh...  I don't know exactly how I feel, but I don't think anything is going to happen.  I got too much on my plate right now and he's JUST a friend.

Olivia:  (a little disheartened)  Oh, well ok then...  So what do you want me to tell *Groupie member*?

Aimee:  (stands up)  You don't have to tell her anything!  Why does everyone need to know!

Olivia:  (with hands up)  Ok, ok, geez.  Don't bite my head off.

Aimee:  (tired expression)  I'm sorry, it's just I don't think everyone needs to know. 

Olivia:  (takes out phone)  I'll just tell her you "don't know", 'k?

Aimee:  (groans and walks out of the room)

Olivia:  Is that ok Aimee?  Aimee??  (to herself) Yeah, it's ok.
