THE ADVENTURES OF THAT GIRL, a new play series

Professor J

Plot: Late Boy gets caught in an unfortunately ironic situation
Act 1, Scene 1:
-Professor J: Today we will finish the Republic and Socrates will suggest a conclusion to the question presented in the Book II. Next week we will move on to Aristotle and the question, "Do we all seek happiness?"
-insignificant students: (variation of blank stares, doodling, and deep thought)
-Professor J: blah blah blah... moral virtues.... intellectual virtues... blah blah blah
-insignificant students: (number of blank stares increases, deep thought reduces)
-Professor J: yadda yadda... punctual virtue... yadda... punctual...
in the middle of the word "punctual" the door opens
Late Boy enters
-All, excluding Late Boy: HAHAHAHAHA
strange silence
-All, excluding Late Boy: heh... heh
-Professor J: We are not laughing at you. I understand you come from a different class, causing you to be late every day. You just have very unfortunate timing, as I was just discussing punctuality.
-Late Boy: sits down in silence, looking a bit confused and uncomfortable
fade out with Late by Kanye West
