Prologue 

Dave:		This is the story of the lives of four teens. There are four main
characters in my coming out story. My team mate and best friend, 
Foster, my ex-boyfriend, Kevin, his boyfriend, Matt and my self, I’m 
Dave. My coming out story takes place at Lake Forest Academy, a typical 
American rural high school.   Before the story begins I should give you 
some background. My friend Foster and I are football jocks. Foster is 
straight, homophobic and anti-gay. I am gay and what is commonly known 
as a closet case. Kevin is the boy I had a relationship over the summer 
with. Kevin is openly gay as is his new boyfriend Matt. 

Scene 1: The Hall 

The stage fades to black. A bell rings and the lights go up as students
enter. 

Foster:		Well, I had a great summer, I hooked up a few times. 

Dave:		(nonchalantly) Cool, my summer was interesting as well. 

Foster:		I heard that a couple of fags are coming to the school this
year. 

Dave:			I pity them. 

Dave and Foster socialize with there team mates and friends until Matt
and Kevin walk in holding hands. 

Kevin:		Welcome to lake forest academy. 

Matt:		This should be fun. Could you loosen your grip a little, you are
hurting me. 

Boy 1:		Fag! 

Boy 2:		Homo! 

Foster:  	AIDS cures fags! 

Girl 1:		Thank G-d for AIDS! 

Jock:		Fags burn in hell! 

Teacher:	Calm down, live and let live. 

Dave:		(calmly) They will get what they deserve. 

Girl 2:		They should wear a symbol to tell the world that they are gay. 

Boy 3:		They do, see the rainbow rings around their necks, only gay
people wear them 

Jock 2:	I think it should be written on their foreheads. 

Uncomfortably, Kevin and Matt walk to their locker. The bell rings and
the students rush off to class. Kevin and Matt share a brief kiss 
before exiting the stage. 

Scene 2: The Secret 

The lights on the stage fade up to reveal a class room with eight
students, including Kevin and Dave.

The prison door, the market place, the recognition and Hester at her 
needle. 

The bell rings and the students leave the stage, Dave and Kevin linger.
