The Party (Monologue)

Oh great, she’s here. This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen. Put the sunglasses on. Ok, good. Except I can barely see. Wait, don’t look in her direction, she can’t see where your eyes are. Maybe this is a bad idea. I should talk to her but I… I should just do it. Go say hi. Is it really that hard? It’s a simple, two word greeting: "Hi there!” Go do it. (pause) But what if she won’t talk to me? That would be worse than not talking at all, right? Shoot, looking her way again. Ok, I’ll get a drink. That always helps in these situations, right? Let’s see… ok, the one time I want to actually get drunk at a party no one brought any alcohol. Awesome. Well, I am thirsty, so I guess I’ll grab a coke. (pause) Hmm, what to do, what to do… hey man, can I put on some other music? (brief pause) Cool, thanks! Ok, ok, let’s see what I have. Crap, I got rid of most of my pop stuff. Oh well, Demi Lovato will work. Now, which cd should I play? Shuffle both, that works. (pause) Aww, why’d it start with a slow boring song? Whatever, I should get back outside. Oh, where’d she go now? Ah! By the fire! Sweet, an empty seat. (sits down) Oh man, another slow one. Come on, get to a fun song! Err, looking her way again. Stop that! (pause) Are you kidding me? How did it pick every one of the slow songs to play? Oh, what? Yeah, it’s all Demi. No, actually it’s on my phone. Yeah, I hooked it up inside. Yes, I can listen to Demi Lovato if I want to. I hate it when people say stuff like that. “Oh, you listen to pop?” How many times do I have to… SHE NOTICED THE MUSIC! And… now she’s making fun of it. Well, this didn’t work out well.
