V.1 Ten Minute play

Sister

[Kendra and Kim are close twin sister. When they were younger they did everything together but since high school that closeness start to fade. Kim became more popular and conformed leaving her art and her sister behind so she could be accepted. Kendra was the different she is a little darker some would call here emo. Unlike her sister she can not draw she can write. Even though this is the 21st century in their small town if you don’t conform or play at least one sport you are consider a freak. The scene takes place in Kim and Kendra bedroom where Kendra is reading the Grim Brother Friary Tale.]

MANDY

[Walking in to the room with five different shopping bags]

Like OMG I can not believe he called you

KIM

[putting shopping bags on her twin bed next to her sister ]

MANDY

I think he’s better then Jonny Depp. I think he’s better then Joe Jonas. he is like the perfect guy . He Captain of the football team and the baseball team and he has a six pack[under her breath] I don’t know why he would want you over me.

KIM

KENDRA

KIM

[Nudges Kendra’s arm Kendra looks back at her Kim]

Is something else wrong? Please tell me

KENDRA

No nothing else is wrong

KIM

KENDRA

[getting off her bed to put her book on the book case]

It is pointless you’re just going to deny it

KIM

How do you know I going to deny it maybe I wont

KENDRA

[Takes her eyes off the bookcase and look at her sister]

Oh you will deny it. trust me I know you to well

KIM

What is it Kendra? What’s been bugging you??

KENDRA

[Looking back at the book case]

You’re turning in to one of them

KIM

[Walks over to Kendra to look at her in the eyes]

Are you serious??

KENDRA

Yea you have been acting like a total b**** these days

KIM

HAVE NOT!!!

KENDRA

SHHH or dad will hear us and then he will really give us our own room’s. well I guess that what you want right

KIM

I have not been acting like a b**** and that’s not what I want. I just said it to Mandy because …. I don’t know why and if I don’t share a room with you who will I talk to in the middle of the night certainly not myself because last time I got into to a fight with myself and that’s not good because you know how unreasonable I am

KENDRA

[Walks back to her bed leaving Kim standing there]

KENDRA

[Sitting down on her bed]

KIM

[sat next to her sister and put her head on her shoulder]

Unfortunally high school happen

KENDRA

Is that why I hate it so much

KIM

That why I do. I wish I didn’t have to hide that I paint they would just think I’m art freak if they knew

KENDRA

Do you remember the last thing mom said to us

KIM

Wait till we are married

KENDRA

That and “if people don’t like you for who you are then you don’t need them”. So if they don’t like who you are why are you still friend with them?

KIM

[lifting her head off her sister shoulder and looks down]

I don’t know their not that bad you know they just don’t have feelings for other people

KENDRA

And that’s you idea of not bad??

KIM

[still looking at the floor]

I am really sorry again I feel really bad that my friend and I treat you and your friends like crap some times.[finally looks at her sister]

KENDRA

It’s ok I forgive.

KIM

No it’s not ok; if anything those freaks will be running the firkin world one day

KENDRA
