Laura's Monologue
1. KITCHEN — MORNING
In the kitchen of a normal family home Laura and her mother are having a deep discussion. The mother is doing the dishes while Laura lays slumped on a couch , scraping the end of the wooden table with the edges of a metal fork.
LAURA People weren’t as nice as they were then. You were younger and you’re they probably didn’t like you. They think differently now! MOM Well I’m sure that could happen. I’m doing this for your best interest. Sweetie I love you.
LAURA Well. What you need me to say?
Laura’s mom halts while doing dishes and faces Laura, while holding the dish rag.
MOM
Look Laura. It’s not my fault. I wanna protect you not hurt you baby. Hopefully you’ll understand me …show more content…
LAURA (rolls her eyes) Hush up. But anyways, I got a paper With an important address on it And
I have to have it. Also… I probably won’t be at school tomorrow.
MARY Uhh..Why!? Where you going? I wanna chill..
LAURA Naaah you don’t. Anyways, we need to go to class, I don’t want the teacher harassing me again, telling my parents that I was late again.
Laura closes her locker and sprints to class with Mary and makes it in
4. LAURA’S BEDROOM IN THE EVENING
Laura is sitting at her computer. She’s on google chrome open and types word into google. She immediately types, Matt Peterson. She looks through the search engine and then goes back to google to look again. She then tries, Matt M Peterson. She clicks around again trying to find so she searches again. She types in Matt Matthew Peterson Toronto Ontario.
Laura’s mom knocked on her door.
LAURA (exits out of the browser) Yaaah? Laura’s mom enters the room drinking coffee.
MOM (sits on he bed) I thought you would want some of your favorite coffee from the fresh market.
LAURA (fake smiles and takes the coffee) Thank you.
MOM Soooo…what ya dooing?
