Cliquefied!

Scene One:
(The curtain opens to reveal the cast standing in clusters with their "cliques" of friends. Each group "talks" among each other while Mr. Banley comes SC, tapping his foot impatiently. After a moment while the kids still arn't ready to listen, Mr Banley interrupts them.)

Banley:Mmhmm!(looking at students who still arn't listening) MHMMMMMM!

(NOTE:Mr Banely can also be Mrs. Banely if nessisary.)

Kent: What-up teach?(Reaches for "cool" style high five smiling, but as Banely stares at him confused, he pulls his hand back.)

Vannie: Yeah, like, we've been waiting here like, for-ever! Like, omigosh, like five whole minutes!

Brittany:Totally! We were about to g2g. (all cheerleaders do the "snap snap snap")
(Banely looks in laughter at the cheerleaders use of language. As Banely begins to talk, Arthur interrupts.)

Arthur: Actually Vennessa, we've been here for about 4.2 minutes...

Brittany:(disgusted) No one asked you geek.(fake coughs) Stop breathing my air, you'll give me, like, whats it called?
(whispers among fellow cheerleaders)
Arthuritus!

(Nerds and Cheerleaders begin to argue when Banely interrupts)

Banely:Please, please! Children!( gets between the groups fighting) I'm sorry I was late, but lets begin!
(Both groups sneer at each other than seperate)
(Smiling) I have a very, very interesting lesson today for homeroom class!

Micheal: Cough. Phsyc. Cough.

(students chuckle)

Banely:(stares at Micheal) And it will take up the first three periods of the day. So I've asked all of your first three teachers to excuse you.

(cheers from everyone except geeks and nerds.)

Robin:(pouty) Awww! That means no Advanced Calculus. I was looking forward to that...

Arthur: Or the Chinese History exam!

Banely: Now, I'd like each of you to stand in a row.(Students each look at each other, and slowly inch into a line, each with their own clique.)

Robin: What are we doing Mr. Banely? Obviously we can't skip classes. Its agains't school policy. I want education, not...(looks down and front the line) whatever were doing here!

Banely: Don't worry, I'm sure you will all learn alot in this lesson! (Picks up a nearby stack of notecards and hands each person one.)
These cards contain your partner's name for this activity. There will be no switching!(slaps Kents hand)For, I shall know, because I have assigned your partner.(looks at students who are all angry with they're partners) Well, stop standing around and get with your partner!

(The students fumble around, and get with their partners. Each are angry since they are all with partners from different "Cliques".)

Leo: (walks to Mr. Banley, and whispers holding a twenty dollar bill)Do I have to be paired with Robin now?(Winks)

Banely:Haha.Nice Try.

(Leo walks off, kicking the floor. After this, each clique comes in their group, demanding they be assigned together. Mr. Banely shoos them into their partners.)

Banely: Seriously! You guys haven't even heard the assignment yet!

Nia: (the following is in monotone and a constant pace)So...what your saying is, we should all go through life, even though we know not whats ahead? Which thus proves my primitive mind is not yet useful in any way towards mans civilized point of thought towards the sun or moon? Are you saying that I have no purpose, but to do your assignment, which will do nothing to change my mindset? Is this a joke? Is my life so useless that you have no care, whatsoever? Is that what your telling us?

(Banely takes his fingers, and uses them like he's counting, looking up as if thinking intensely.)

Banely: Yes....I believe that is what I am saying.

Nia:(Smiling for the first time) I'm in.

(All are suprised by Nia's sudden act of speech. All see that if she will do it, they can too.)

Kent: So, what's the assignment, teach?(Places arm around Rachel, who in turn pushes him)

Banely: Well, as you know, our high school is a pretty good size, so I have decided to make a scavenger hunt!

(All students react to the statement in their own "clique" way. They were expecting more.)

Rachel: A scavenger hunt?

Eddie: Thats it?

Banely:(Passes out another set of notecards, ignoring the two questions) These are your first clues. Simple as that. Solve the clue, and get to the final detination. First one there, wins a prize!

(Students eyes widen, whispering to each other what it could be.)

Banely: You may begin...now!

Scene 2

(Arthur and Brittany walk, each seperated, Brittany loudly chewing gum and twisting her her hair like a valley girl)

Brittany: So, like, what are we supposed to do.

Arthur:(Reading clue) When you reach 24, you'll know how many steps to go.

Brittany:(walking close, chewing gum loudly) So, like, what do you think that means?

Arthur:(doesn't answer, annoyed by chewing) Will you please stop chewing your gum so loudly missy?

Brittany:(Smiles, and does it louder and wider until it drops on her shirt by accident) Like OMG! I just bought this shirt like, yesterday! Like, dang it! (wipes it away as if its a bug)

Arthur:(trying not to laugh) You poor thing...

Brittany:(looks at Arthur, smiles, than quickly grimaces) Like, eww, stop looking at me like that! I will never be your friend!

Arthur: Oh...how sad. I think.(gets back on track with clue) So I'm guessing we need to go to locker 24, and take 24 steps.

Brittany: Whateves...

(Both walk slowly until they find locker 24)

Brittany: Like, lol! I found it! (happy for herself and claps while jumping, shaking head side to side)

Arthur: Ok, we need to go twenty four steps. I need you to do that while I run to the little boys room! (tries to run away, but Brittany grbs him by collar)

Brittany: But, like, I can't count far fowards! Like, I can only count to purple backwards, and to Lavander forwards! I can't count to 24! Thats after 22! Thats old!

Arthur: Fine fine. Lets go.

(both go the steps forward, which will lead into the middle isle of the audience)

Brittany:(stops Arthur) Hey, gee...I mean, Arthur?

Arthur:(suprised she used his name) Y..yeah?

Brittany: Can you...um...maybe tutor me in math...

Arthur:(confused) Okay.

Brittany: And in science?

Arthur: Sure...

Brittany: English too? If it isn't too much?

Arthur:(Becoming jittery) I g..guess so...

Brittany: And Theatre and Gym?

Arthur: Gym?

Brittany: Well, yeah! Like I broke a nail last time. That hurts! I need to learn how, not to break a nail!

Arthur: I dunno...

Brittany: Oh please! I need this so much! I have almost all A's!

Arthur: Well what are your grades now?

Brittany: (holds up four fingers)3 F's, (holds up three more fingers)two D's, (holds up all fingers)and three B's.

Arthur: Oh...Thats nice... I think...(Brittany gives him puppy eyes) Well, alright then.(blushing)

Brittany: Oh Thank you! Thank you so much! (soluting) Like, I thank you by the totally awesome wraith of Thoron!(Stops, covering her mouth, realizing she just revealed the worst secret)

Arthur:(grinning develishly) Brittany! You never told me you like to play Dungeons and Dragons!(Pauses, then says) Well, you've never really said anything to me before, but seriously! You play a Geeks game...

Brittany:(clasping a hand over his mouth) You mustn't ever, ever say anything about that! Like, if Vannie or the jocks find out, I'm totally ruined!
