Gloria- She is 15 years old, tall and very athletic, kind hearted but very boy obsessive
Gretta- She is 15 and Gloria is her best friend, she is very positive and always smiling, athletic and short
Ian- He is 16 years old, very athletic, in love with Gloria, mean to Gretta,very controlling and does drugs.
IAN
You shouldn’t be friends with her, she is just trying to break us up. You know that don’t you?
GLORIA
I don’t think she is trying to break us up. I (beat)….I think she just feels left out that’s all
IAN
Well in the end babe I am your boyfriend and—-
Gloria stops Ian in mid sentence.
GLORIA
But she is my best friend. You both are very important to me and I love you both the same.
IAN
Your just going to have to pick. Is it going to be Gretta or me Gloria?
GLORIA
You can’t just ask me to pick between my best friend and my boyfriend. That isn’t fair.
IAN
Would you rather have me or her Gloria?
Gloria pauses a moment to think about
the next thing she is going to say. Then
she continues on what she had to say.
GLORIA
(In a soft voice)you.
IAN
I’m glad.
GLORIA
I guess I will go find Gretta now and tell her what I have just decided.
IAN
Good idea babe. Call me after when you did it and let me know how it went, Love you.
GLORIA
Okay.
Gloria then goes to find Gretta at her
house playing basketball to tell her
the decision she made.
GRETTA
Oh hey Gloria, didn’t see ya there what’s up?
GLORIA
So I made a decision…
GRETTA
Decision about what?
GLORIA
(Beat) I choose Ian.
GRETTA
What do you mean you choose Ian? Like choose him over me? Your best friend?
GLORIA
Yes. I’m sorry.
GRETTA
Are you kidding me right now? A boy over your best friend?! After everything we have been through? All the times I have been there for you, the times i’ve been your shoulder to cry on, the times I gave you advice, and now all of a sudden you just gonna choose him over me your best friend? Who is gonna be there for you when you guys break up? Whos gonna be your shoulder to cry on? Who are you going to go to for advice when things are rough between the both of you? Your gonna have no one because you keep pushing everyone out for a stupid boy, I mean it is highschool no one is thinking about marriage.
GLORIA
We aren’t going to break up.
GRETTA
How do you know that?
GLORIA
Because I love him and he loves me.
GRETTA
Right. But people change.
GLORIA
He won’t. You don’t understand what it is like to be so madly in love with someone.
GRETTA
That is where you’re wrong. Don’t you remember? I was in love with his best friend. We dated for six and a half months. I was so madly in love with him. He was the one person I wanted to be with all the time. I would ditch plans with my friends just to hang with him. I wouldn’t study for a test I had just to be with him. Then one day he changed. He broke up with me over text on our seven month anniversary. He lied to me. He cheated. And what do I get out of that whole relationship? A broken heart. I gave him my all, did everything I could to make sure he was happy, and loved him with everything I had. So Gloria do not tell me I don’t understand because I do. I dated his best friend and if Ian is anything like Jacob he will do the same thing Jacob did to me just with you. I could never let you go through what Jacob put me through. I always try and protect you at all costs and now you are just leaving me? How is that fair?
GLORIA
I love you both Gretta but I do not want to lose Ian. He isn’t like Jacob, just because they’re best friends does not mean they are the same.
GRETTA
So you would obviously rather lose me than your boyfriend Ian and how do you know that they aren’t the exact same? I mean we are best friends and we are practically the same.
GLORIA
It’s different with boys
GRETTA
Right.
GLORIA
Look I’m sorry I don’t want you to hate me.
GRETTA
That’s funny because even though your choosing a guy over me, I still love you as much as I did before you came over here and started having this conversation with me. If you ever need anything I am always here for you, I will have your back always, and I will be your shoulder to cry on whenever you need because that’s what best friends do.
GLORIA
Same goes for you.
GRETTA
I’ll see you around, I am sure your boyfriend is waiting to get a call from you.
GLORIA
How did yo-
Gretta stops Gloria mid question
GRETTA
I told you I am your best friend I know you better than anyone else. I always will.
