Three girls sit in the yard at their school, all 14 talking about the usual things they did on a Monday. The weekend, what happened, and what’s going to happen this weekend. Their hair is all the same and they have a lot of makeup on. They are the “popular” girls but in actual fact they only have a limited circle of friends and are highly disliked by the older year levels. They are playing music loudly from their mobile phones.

Characters:
Samantha David-  14 yr old girl at a private girl’s school. Loves the fact her family is wealthy and thinks money is everything.
Jenna Jay (JJ)-  14 yr old girl at a private girls school. Family came into money thus the reason for being able to afford schooling tuition. She finds it difficult having less money because she doesn’t have as many luxury items as her friends.
Harmony Cress-  14 yr old girl at a private school. Family is quite wealthy but she is not fazed by this. She still works for the family business and has an income of her own. She has displayed early interests in boys and it has almost got her into trouble a number of times.
Felicity Dustin (Flik)-  A year 12 girl at the same school. Highly dislikes the three girls because they are always flirting with her friends. She deems the three as fake. She is not afraid to tell people what she thinks and is known to have been in a number of bitch fights.
Belinda Frank (Belle)-  Flik’s best friend also in year 12. The pair is notorious for bitching and is not at all shy when it comes to boys. However they are known as beautiful girls until you get on their bad side.

The three girls are all on the oval at their school watching the boys playing football whilst also having an in depth conversation of the weekends events and the coming weekend.

Sami-
Are you going this weekend?

JJ-
To Jeremy’s? Um of course he is so
hot! As if I’d miss it

Harmony-
Jeremy? No way! Tommy is so much
 cuter and he’s nicer. The private boys
 are so snobby!

JJ-
look at this photo.

(hands over mobile)

Took it the other weekend! He looked
so good that night!  Jeremy is hotter!


Sami-
Besides Tommy was a private boy!! Until he got
Expelled, and you think he’s nicer!

Harmony-
(laughs) well he’s nice to me! Maybe you’re
just a bitch Sam.

JJ-
So are you going to kiss Tommy then Harm?

Harmony-
Of course, unless that slut Katie is all over
him. Wouldn’t surprise me if she had diseases.
She sleeps with every guy just so they like her.
 She’s such an attention seeker!

Sami-
Did you hear Jake and Cal had a fight over her?
 At that year 12 party that was on. I can’t believe
 we weren’t invited to that.


JJ-
Yeah that’s why Cal has a black eye! They full had
 this massive punch on right out the front of Belle’s
 street.

Harmony-
How come? What was there to fight over? She’s
 nothing special.

JJ-
Because apparently she was going out with Jake and they’d been together for like a week, then Cal was hugging her in front of Jake and they kissed and probably sex. But Jake was mad cos’ she cheated, Cal had no idea what was going on. He just likes a punch on.


Harmony-
Sex with Cal? Grosse. He used to pick his nose in primary
school. We all called him boog boy.
(All laugh hysterically)

JJ-
Yeah so Jake got all pissed, surprise surprise, and decided
to punch him.

Sami-
Flik said the cops came.

Harmony-
Are you friends with Flik?


Sami-
I wish I was. I’ve spoken to her a couple of times.
I overheard her say that on the train yesterday.

Harmony-
Oh, so what else was she saying?

Sami-
That everyone was drunk.  And how there was all
these year nine’s that came. They didn’t like that
the younger girls were friends with the guys.

JJ-
I bet that’s why we weren’t invited. Also my brother
said if we went, the crazy girls would probably punch
us. They’re all such bitches that group.

Harmony-
Who would bash us? Like Belle and Flik would?

JJ-
Yeah!! They hate younger girls coming to parties.
Well that’s what my brother said. They were
threatening this other chick in the year above us... I
forget her name but she ended up leaving at like 9:30
because they were being so mean to her.

Sami-
Shit girls look! Is that Flik and Belle walking toward
us? They don’t look happy!

Harmony-
(flustered and rushing her sentence)
Uh Oh maybe this is about last night with Tommy.

JJ-
Please tell me you are joking! What the hell happened
last night with you and Tommy?
           
Harmony-
Um I went to this underage dance thing with my cousin.
And Tommy and I ended up kissing and (pauses)
and some other stuff. But then Michelle told me on
the way home that Anna had been seeing Tommy, and
now Michelle’s pissed at me and now it looks like
I’m going to get punched. Fuck!

Flik- 
Oi Harmony. How was your little party last night?

Harmony-
Yeah it was ok. Did you go?

Belle-
(Laughs) As if we’d go. We can go to actual clubs.

Flik-
So Anna found out about last night. Do you even
know what you did?

Harmony-
I promise girls I didn’t even know Tommy was
seeing someone. I’m not like that I wouldn’t
have done it. Ask Michelle!
Flik-
See I would like to believe you but all you girls
are the same. You don’t care and you don’t learn.
Stop trying to be cool and act your fucking age!

JJ-
Sorry girls we will keep out of it from now on.

Belle-
Oh and don’t go telling your brother about this
either JJ we don’t a fucking lecture from that faggot!

Flik-
So do you understand Harmony? Keep away from
our boys and if you are that horny…slut… then go
fuck guys your own age. Got it?

Harmony- (sighs) yeah

Belle grabs Harmony’s collar at her throat and puts her face right up in Harmony’s face.

Belle-
She said got it? Bitch!

Harmony-
I understand!

Belle stands up and moves away from Harmony. Flik and Belle laugh delightedly and walk off over to the boys and join in on their football match. Flik hugs Jeremy and kisses him on the cheek. The whole time she looks at the girls to make sure they are watching her.

JJ-
Shit I told you they didn’t like younger girls
at their parties.

Sami-
Har if you want to have a girl’s night in
this weekend we totally understand.

JJ-
Yeah we totally understand. We don’t have to
go to Jeremy’s.

Harmony-
Fuck no! Who do they think they are? They don’t
 scare me; fuck em we’re going to Jeremy’s.
And I’m going to have sex with Tommy!

On the other side of the oval we hear the last words spoken between Belle and Flik
Belle-              
Flik do you think that was right? Maybe we
should have just been nice and warned her
Tommy had Chlamydia
