THAT FEELING BY JEFFREY LO (DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)
IVETTE and APRIL in the student center at a university, eating lunch.
They eat in silence for some moments.
APRIL lets out a sigh.
IVETTE looks at APRIL.
They continue eating in silence.
APRIL sighs again.
IVETTE looks at APRIL again.
APRIL looks at IVETTE looking at her.
APRIL: Can I ask you a question?
IVETTE doesn’t answer.
APRIL asks anyway.
APRIL: You know how when you have a really bad day, everything else seems really shitty? And then everything that isn’t that shitty but just kind of inconvenient feels SUPER shitty. And then it just keeps building and building and your about to break and your about to cry but then someone is really nice to you. And that someone is actually kinda cute. Actually really cute. And that just MAKES YOUR DAY. That FIXES things. Everything feels so much better. But then you keep watching them and then you see them start making out with someone else so then your days is BACK TO FUCKING SHITTY and MY GOD THE DAY IS SO SHITTY. And then you get to lunch… Do you know that feeling?
IVETTE looks at APRIL.
IVETTE: No.
Blackout.
END OF PLAY.
