Get ready for our training

This is for a live action play I did in my English class. I played the part of Olive and my friend played Emily. I hope y’all enjoy :)

Emily: I’m so glad that we decided to hang out at the park today, Olive! The summer weather is just perfect and it makes for a great day to hang out!

Olive: Yeah definitely! It's been a while since we've been able to talk about our lives and interests y'know?

Emily: It has! and I’m just happy that we’re able to get together and just hang out again.

Olive: Exactly! It’s been so long especially since school was drowning us in work. Enough about that though; Emily, we should talk about how this year has been and all the drama that’s occurred.

Emily: I don’t know about that, but if you want we can. Although I'd like to talk about what's been bothering me lately.

Olive: Oh alright, go ahead and share Em.

Emily: For starters, Brandon has constantly been doing everything in his power to annoy me and you also haven’t done anything about it. I mean have you even tried getting him off my back like I asked you?

Olive: Whoa, okay. That isn’t even my problem to deal with and I’ve told you I’m not going to ask him to stop liking you just because it freaks you out. You literally need to man up and tell him yourself. I ain’t gonna baby you all time just for you to shove your problems down my throat.

Emily: And? It’s not like I can tell him either. He really freaks me out with his constant affection! Just please do it for me!

Olive: I told you already I’m not doing it, so stop being a sissy and do it yourself.

Emily: (SCOFFS) I’ll drop you in a hot second if you ever call me a sissy again.

Olive: Wow, so those are your true colors, huh? And here I thought you were my friend.

Emily: What can I say Olive? I’m not perfect and neither are you.

Olive: First of all, I never said I was perfect so why don’t you shut your hoohaa up.

Emily: (DRAMATIC GASP) You did not just tell ME to shut my hoohaa up! You potato of a person!

Olive: I’ll gladly tell you over and over again! Your brain is too tiny to process anything anyway! I’m surprised you even made it this far into the conversation. Considering we’ve been fighting each other for so long and never getting along.

Emily: Well that’s not my fault at all, you always cause me drama and problems all the time Olive. It’s like I can never get a break from someone coming up to me and telling me all the things you say behind my back.

Olive: Psh, you’re not the only one who has issues. Don’t go thinking you’re all special! I’m tired of hearing you say stuff like that to me when most of those things you hear are just rumors. You’ve always been so mean to me ever since we were kids. You’ve always beat me up, but I’m still here playing games with you and being your only friend.

Emily: Well y'know what? I'm sick and tired of having to deal with this.

Emily grabs Olive by her hair and slams her head into the desk, knocking her out. Emily steps out of the stage only to show Olive.

Olive leans up to rub her eyes like she just woke up from a dream.

Olive: What just happened? I think I just had a weird dream about Emily and I?

In the distance, Olive can hear a notification from her phone. The phone shows a bright message on the screen of a news headline.

News: “Breaking news of tonight's story. A young teenage girl was found dead in the park with multiple stab wounds around her torso and face. The wounds are very brutal so it's hard to tell who this female is, but detectives say the girl is Emily Night based off of her ID. The police are still searching for the person responsible for this crime.”

Olive: She's been a peeve anyways.

Olive’s creepy smile disappears at the sound of loud knocking on the door. Her expression is replaced with fear.
