Addiction and Change
By Alicia M. Characters. Headstrong the Ukulele, age 17 Unpleasant The Ukulele, age 17(Headstrong’s Conscience) Setting. On The Beach. We hear beautiful music. We can touch warm sand. The smell is fresh air. Time. Summertime at 2:00am At rise. Headstrong and Unpleasant sitting in the sand looking at the water.
Unpleasant Ey Dude. You ready to use some Sandpaper? We got some leftover from yesterday. Nah, I’m koo. I’m not in the mood. Unpleasant What? You’re crazy…C’mon Bro. Headstrong (Pissed Off Look) Life is not all about using Sandpaper okay. I said No. N.O. No! Unpleasant Whoa. Calm down. What’s wrong with you?
Headstrong I want to stop using sandpaper…and… and go to music school. Unpleasant Headstrong Unpleasant Dude, you don’t know what you want. Just get the sandpaper. It will make you feel better, better yet not think of this nonsense. Unpleasant C’mon dude, you know you want to…. Headstrong (Thinking out loud to self) Ugh, maybe Unpleasant is right. This is probably nonsense…and I do kind of want to. Headstrong What the hell kind of a conscience are you? You’re supposed to be helping me. Not bringing me down. You’re so freakin’ evil. Unpleasant(confused look) Headstrong (Thinking out loud to self) How can she be so ignorant? ugh! She’s so dumb. She supposedly my friend and she doesn’t want me to follow my dream. And she’s okay with me doing the most un-healthiest things out there. Unpleasant(getting mad) Unpleasant Headstrong (Cuts Her Off) Unpleasant Unpleasant Wow Bro! That’s pretty harsh. Headstrong Maybe it was, but you have to understand, I gotta let you go bro. I was hoping you’d understand, that’s why I even had this conversation with you. Unpleasant (shocked look on face)
Music school sucks. Partying is fun. Headstrong I want to be someone, and tomorrow is my only chance to get into music school. We had good times but I’m done. So good luck with yourself. You’ll realize sooner or later, I’m done with you. Dude bye. Take care. ( That moment Unpleasant died out of Headstrong’s mind forever. Rest In Peace Unpleasant. Gone and always forgotten.)
