The World
...as a bad teen angst drama.
Curtain opens
USA enters, she is wearing something gaudy and overtly brand named. She is surrounded by Britain and Israel, Mexico follows.
USA: Did you guys see how Japan was wearing an outfit like mine yesterday. I mean, please, like she could ever fill it out like I could.
Israel: Shut the fuck up and give me $5.
USA: What the hell for?
Israel: Like I am going to tell you bitch.
USA: I am not giving it to you if you talk to me like that.
Israel: Yes you are, or do I have to bring up the crap that happened in middle school and how I still have a scar on my thigh. Plus, you need me. Do I need to remind you why/
USA: Fine, here (hands her the money), but you don't have to be so pushy.
Israel: Whatever.
Israel leaves.
Britain: So are we still on for tonight?
USA: I have to think about it.
Britain: What do you mean think about it? Who the hell else are you going to date?
USA: I am the most sought after girl in school, I could get anyone.
Britain: I have done everything you wanted. I even painted my toenails like yours.
USA: Ha. Ha. That was awesome. Mexico, did you know I made him do that?
Mexico: That is so funn/
USA: Shut up. I don't know why I let you be here.
Mexico: Well I live next door to yo/
USA: Shut up.
Mexico: Oka/
USA: I said shut up. And hold my caramel macchiato.
Britain: So about tonight.
USA: Oh my God Britain can you just chill for even one second. (Begins to fake cry) I have a lot on my mind right now. You know I am dealing with some major things and what I need now is for you to give me a little understanding. Everybody wants to be just like me. Do you know how much pressure that is? I am a very important person, pretty much more important than anyone else here. Do you know how hard that is for me? And I am on the rag.
Britain: It seems like you are always on the rag.
USA: Shut the hell up. I just have an unusually long menstrual cycle.
France walks by, she is wearing something incredibly sexy that should not be allowed in high school.
France: Hey Britain, I had a great time at study group with you yesterday.
Britain: Yeah me too. You sure have interesting study methods.
France: Maybe we could do it again.
Britain: Doing it again sounds great.
Germany enters. Says to France
Germany: Hey babe. What's up?
France: Not much.
Germany: Hungry?
France: Starving.
Germany looks to USA and Britain.
Germany: Later.
USA turns to Britain.
USA: What the fuck was that?
Britain: Nothing, France and I were just doing some homework yesterday.
USA: France and you, France and you?! What about our date tonight?
Britain: But you said/
USA: I know what I said. You will be sorry about this. Just remember what happened when Iraq wouldn't join the SGA. Don't mess with me.
Britain: I know I just/
USA: Shut up!
Britain: I'm sorry, look lets talk about this later.
USA: Oh we'll talk alright.
The bell rings for class, everyone leaves, and Mexico is still standing holding the drink.
USA: (from offstage) Mexico, where the hell is my macchiato!
Mexico spits into USA's drink, smiles, then follows her off stage.
The saga may continue...
