Question

CHARACTERS:

JOSH

TARA

KUL


Stage Set: Tara's house. Josh is outside the door holding a bouquet and a hand-written letter for Tara. He can hear the conversation because the door is ajar. Josh does not go in right away.


TARA: (shrugging her shoulders) No, I do not want to.

KUL: Come on. He is a nice enough guy. Why not?

TARA: Well, you don't understand. Why do you even ask me?

KUL: (looking Tara in the eye) Hey. Try me.

TARA: (after a long pause) The thing is—I don't want to give him any hope. Why build him up and let him down?

KUL: With just a dance?

TARA: You've seen the way he looks at me. He more than likes me.

KUL: I suppose you are right . . . Couldn't you just be friends? (notices the open door, goes to close it, and sees Josh)

TARA: Yes, we are just friends. That is why we are not going to the prom together. Why don't you just shut the door?
