ACT I
Scene 1. [Hallway of Grimke High School]
Time The Present
Setting: A silver and white themed hallway,usually buzzing with students chattering as they headed to their respective classes, was now nearly silent, the only sound being heard was the soft pattering of footsteps. The hallway also plays hostess to several black lockers. There is a trashcan close by, littered with balled up paper tossed carelessly around it.
AT RISE: The patter of footsteps become louder and breaks into heavy clacks, heavy breathes softly echoing. RILEY holds a binder,

RILEY: [groans] Dammit!
[RILEY mutters curses under her breath, but stopped once hearing another foot of footsteps. RILEY mutters even more.
RILEY: Great. A person to revel in my pain.
KATE:[OFF]Hello?! Um, sit tight! I..I’ll be right there!
[RILEY groans out of annoyance, recognizing the voice.]
RILEY: Of all the people I wanted to see…
[KATE rushes in, confusing the increasing annoyed groans for pain. KATE wears a jean jacket with jeans, a bit of paint splattered all over her outfit, and some smudges even evident on her cheekbones. KATE carries a colorful art book, labeled with K.P, and a satchel of various markers, highlighters, crayons, and pencils.]
KATE:[Out of breath] Oh my god, are you-
[KATE abruptly stops, realizing who it was. RILEY inspects her, then snorts.]
RILEY: Hey K. Vinci. Don’t mind me. Just chilling on the floor for kicks.
[KATE begins to shake a little, which causes RILEY to lose her smirk and frown.]
RILEY: Hey, uh...you okay? Sorry if I was a bit-
KATE:[breathes then glares] Unoriginal?
[RILEY then returns the glare. KATE quickly looks away, hides her dejected look, and notices the papers scattered all over the hallway floor. She frantically starts picking them up at first, but stops, gives RILEY a half hearted scowl, and slows down to look
[They stood their for moment, every second seems longer, but they enjoyed it. Danforth and Cheever motioned them over for confrontation. Papers and a pen were placed in front of John]
It had been 5 years since the death of Johnny and Dally and everyday I miss them more and more. I am 18 now and about to leave to start my first year of college. I have still been living with my brothers Darry and Sodapop. Darry is now 25 and Soda is now 22. Things have been a little different ever since we won the rumble that night. I remember it like it was yesterday. But the difference is now the greasers and Socs are not really a thing anymore. Darry, Soda and I have kinda lose touch with Two-Bit, Steve and Cherry. But we all still think and talk about them everyday.(I mostly talk about Cherry.) When we see the Socs wondering the streets we don't go over and try to pick a fight anymore. We either smile and wave, it's like we're all one big friendly neighborhood.
It has been too long since I last wrote to you, so I thought I would inform you on momentous events that happened in my life in the last little while. The previous time I heard from you was when Gabriel turned three. I can’t believe he is about to become a teenager now. My goodness, time flies by so fast. I was so ecstatic when I saw your prior letter arrive in my mail.
I also don't own the idea, it was requested to me by the wonderful Amanda. Thank you so much! I hope I did this idea justice.
At the same time: Snap-Whoosh-Growl-Snap-Whoosh-Growl! Return with a fierceness, causing the rest of the men to separate into two groups with some moving to the left in search of the origin of the beastly sounds and the others moving to the right, combining their numbers with those searching for their missing brethren, while Gottlieb stays behind.
(She looks up and Paul pulls the leaver and she is sucked up into room
* (She stops, resting in the cool grass, sighing peacefully. You smile, flopping into the grass face-first. She giggles.)
“I know right!” Katelynn said while eating her last piece. The girls finished eating then went to get ready and go outside to wait for their moms to get there.
(Sister Jude shakes her head in disapproval of the memory. Lana notices her discomfort of the subject, so she changes the subject.)
Oliver through his arms in the air. “There must be something we can do. My share of the pumpkin crop is enough to buy the piano. We need another two weeks.”
“Allison, no I haven’t seen her since we were all talking earlier. Colleen, you look pale, are you sure everything is alright?” Max put his hand on her shoulder, lightly, in an attempt to slow her down as she peered into the dining room. There was no flash of red hair or sound of a baby cooing.
A tapping noise pulls Mara out of her trance. She looks behind her for its source.
Her face twists a little, but she covers it with a smile that doesn’t reach anything else on her face. “I see, dear,” she says, “Drake Anderson checked it out.”
[Stella, How many times have I told you not to run down the stairs?... Ah, I almost forgot, Stella meet your new baby brother Aries] Cecilia said in calming voice.
