A  Flower is like love or is love like a flower?

  (plays are like poetry, such as love is like a flower ) 

 

( max stands middle center stage looking off into the distance toward stage right)   

“I don't believe in magic, nor love, or hate, i don't believe in destiny,iorny or fate”( silence 2 seconds then face toward audience, then as speaking  next part take  steps forward  toward downstage still in the middle / center stage , don't look directly at audience  )

“They ask why I don't believe in these things. I tell them , well why would you believe them, I see no reason.” ( turn to stage left slowly sidestep 4 steps then crouch down to  pick up a rose placed by a park bench)  “ A rose? Now why would a single rose be here when there are no others around?” ( rise slowly and make it seem as though you are in deep thought ) “Why on earth would one single rose be here?” ( max is still  standing  thinking when footsteps can be heard off in the distance)


“ MAX!!, Where ARE YOU?!!?!” ( max instantly sits on the park bench  and finds the nearest thing to hide himself, he is then realizing the rose is the closest thing to hide behind and he quickly puts it up in front of his face, but with no luck she sees him anyway)( she then enters running to find him and within seconds iss right next to him accepting the rose by taking it from his hand)   “I finally found you !! It took forever!!)( she noticed the rose in his hand ) “ wow is that a rose! Thank you so much!” ( she sits down takes the flower from his hand)

“ ya know nobody has ever given me a rose before’’ (he turns to her looking confused) “ Really? That's surprising” 

Kelly:  Really i  would have thought that it would be expected since i seem to be annoying 

( he looks at her even more confused )

Max: That is not true at all.

(she looks shocked because she always thought even he didn't like her too much )

Kelly: wow.. Really?

(she gets up and walks to a nearby tree )

Max: yes really, you know you aren't so bad

(he smiles and gets up and walks to her) Then Maddi walks on stage and see them looking into eachothers eyes and shouts)

Maddi:HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?!?

( kelly looks over at her clearly very annoyed and says)

Kelly: not much just wish it was still quiet 

( max laughs and pulls his eyes away from kelly to look at Maddi but also kind of annoyed )

Maddi: Aww don't be like that , just wanted to say hi to max

(both max and kelly look at each other and look back at her knowing this wasn’t good.)

max/kelly: okay…

( kelly steps up and asks a question)

Kelly: Why is it you only wanted to see Max and not me?

(max now confused again steps up)

Max: Yeah that's a bit interesting

(Maddi begins  to back away )

Maddi: well guess another chapter is in order 

(she then turns and runs off and curtain closes ) leaving audience in question
