Act Five - Dance Prep

Zooey, Amelia, Whittney doing Evangeline’s Hair. E’s eyes are covered with something. 

Evangeline: Guys what are you doing? (looking around but can’t see anything) 

Skyler: (Giggles)

Evangeline: Skyler what are they doing to me? (No Answer) If I guess right will you tell me? 

Zooey: No!

Skyler: (Hysterics) 

Evangeline: (Rips off cover) (Gasp) (In furious calm) You guys are so mean to me!

Isabelle: (Came running in) He’s Here!

Evangeline: Who’s here (Turns to bathroom entrance and Isabelle) 

Isabelle: Wow – you look so pretty!

Evangeline: Who’s here?

Zooey: Your date!

Evangeline: My WHAT?

Skyler: Date. 

Evangeline: What? I don’t want a date! What do you mean you got me a date?

Zooey: We got you a date for the dance and he’s here! So you better go answer the door!

Evangeline: I’m not gonna answer the door!

Whittney: Its rude keep him waiting! Go get the door, E!

(All fighting, ends up with Evangeline getting pushed to the door. She throws it open.) 

Evangeline: CRAP! (She whispers to herself) 

Connor: (his jaw drops as he looks Evangeline up and down) 

Evangeline: (Smiles – forced – at Connor) Hello Connor (hostile) 

Connor: (Weird look to hostility) Hey Evangeline. Are you ready?

Evangeline: One moment please (Slams door in Connor’s face. Turns to find all heads poking around the corner.) Connor Davis! How could you do this to me? (Yelled so loud, Connor could hear) 

Zooey: You couldn’t go to the dance without a date, besides he asked you out.

Evangeline: You’re right. I wasn’t planning on going at all! Date or no Date! And he didn’t ask me!

Zooey: I know, he asked me instead. And I agreed for you. 

Evangeline: Well, I am not going. 

Isabelle: Well it is not your decision to make, you already said yes. 

Evangeline: You mean Zooey said YES!

Isabelle: You are going. 

Amelia: Evangeline this is an experience you cannot pass up. 

Evangeline: Watch me. (Determined look on Face.) 

Zooey: My work will not go to waste! (She pushed E to the door) You are going to the dance. 

Evangeline: (Walks to the door and opens it.) Come on Connor, We’re leaving. (Grabs shoulder, turns him around + drags him towards the car) 

Everyone: (Runs to window to watch her get into the car.) 

Evangeline: (Hey eyes meet theirs) When I get back you are dead! (she mouthed) 

Everyone: (Smile and Wave) 

Evangeline: (They drive away) 

Everyone: (moment of silence while watch her leave. wait a moment) 

Skyler: Okay – Let’s go!

Everyone: (run out of the room and pile into the car. Sky starts the engine.)
