Scene: At a Teenage Party
Characters:
- Sara (the sober one)
- Jake (drunk teen)
- Emily (drunk teen)
- Alex (drunk teen)
- Taylor (drunk teen)
(Sara is sitting at the table, looking uncomfortable as the rest of the partygoers are getting ready to leave)
Jake: (slurring) Come on, Sara! Let's go to the next party. It'll be so much fun!
Emily: Yeah, Sara, don't be a buzzkill. Let's get out of here.
Alex: (laughs) Yeah, let's live a little bit!
Taylor: (stands up unsteadily) I'm in, let's go!
Sara: (stands up and speaks firmly) Guys, I really don't think it's a good idea to drive when you're all drunk. It's not safe for yourselves or others on the road.
Emily: (rolling her eyes) Oh, come on Sara, we do this all the time. We'll be fine.
Jake: (putting his arm around Sara) Don't worry, I'll drive. We'll be fine.
Sara: (firmly) No. I'm not comfortable with this. I don't want to be a part of something that could end in a tragedy. Can't we just stay here and have a good time?
Taylor: (begrudgingly) Fine, I guess we can stay. But let's make it a good time here, at least.
Alex: (nodding in agreement) Yeah, let's have fun at this party. We don't need to go somewhere else to have a good time.
Emily: (sighs) Okay, fine. Let's just have fun here.
(Sara smiles, relieved that her friends have listened to her concerns and decided to stay at the current party. They all sit down at the table and continue to enjoy themselves, dancing and chatting)
Sara: (to Jake) Thanks for understanding, Jake.
Jake: (smiling) Yeah, you were right. We shouldn't have driven. Thanks for looking out for us.
(Sara smiles, happy that she was able to speak up and make a difference. The scene fades out with the group of friends having a good time at the party)
