Characters:

Elizabeth,20 (soon to be 21), nicknamed Liz, is a cheerful, enthusiastic girl who is terrible at art, horrible at science, and horrendous at math. However, she aces literature – any aspect of literature. She’s someone in which after you get to know, you would stick around with for a long time. She is pretty average in terms of academics. She has completely no art sense and is horrible and dressing herself up. The only thing she can do well is dramatizing and getting poetic.


Kyle, 23, nicknamed Sky, is a pretty reserved, sensitive, but irrational guy when it comes to his greatest passion or desire in life. He knew Elizabeth through literature class in Secondary school and has been close friends with her ever since. He happens to be in the same literature course in the same University as her. He is rather casual, and often pretty crazy around with Elizabeth due to the time he has spent with her. Kyle is bright student, but tends to fluctuate with his results because of is inconsistent effort.


Heckles, 17, nicknamed Reckless, is a wild, boisterous and careless teenager. He is basically what his nickname suggests, reckless. He adores adventures, and loves the unexpected. He is the source of greatest worry for his parents and elder siblings. However, all he cares about is his own fun and entertainment. Well, he can be a lot of trouble, but he is usually the one who is the most creative and out of the box. He is able to solve problems which his siblings have thought over for months in a short period of time. Aside from recklessness, he’s otherwise a loveable teen, who is easy to get along with. Although he does not have the patience to stay in class to study, but when it comes to term examinations, he just needs to mug a night before the exam. Most of all, he has photographic memory (something he learnt during summer break in grade 12). He is in an elite Junior College. He is taking up Art and Design as his co-curricular activity (CCA).


Jessica, 26, nicknamed Jess, is an outgoing shopaholic, who would idolize to the extent of taking a plane to wherever the band she loves is having a concert, just to watch their concert. She also has quite a circle of friends because of her extensive general knowledge, especially regarding singers, actors/actresses, and entertainment industries. She graduated from University with a degree in Business when she was 25. She is currently working full-time as a marketing director to save up money to start her own business (something she dreams of doing).


Kimberly, 17, nicknamed Berry, is a sweet, gentle, soft-spoken girl, who has a brain that is not that of a normal human. She aces all her examinations and tests without effort and tuition. She knows 7 languages, 4 instruments, 3 dialects, and has time for games. Everyone looks up to her, and she has a lot of suitors. She is in the same CCA as Heckles, known him since Secondary School.


Chester, 27, nicknamed Chess, is helpful, generous and caring. He and Jessica has been dating for a little more than 4 years. He would stay overnight for the three years she was taking her degree in business, to revise with her. Chess is a talented person; he holds a doctorate in medicine, and a degree in neurology. He is currently working in the General Hospital (largest hospital in the country) as a neurologist under probation (first two months of work). He was a chess champion when he was in College and High School, and that was how he attained his nickname.

The story plot is quite great, but I think there's something missing in it, something I can't quite put my finger on. But don't let me 'deprive' you and I'm liking the story so far:) Especially the picking on my language part, haha

Actually... I didn't think up all this additional parts of the play. my play was a random one-scene play, but i decided to make it a more proper play. I referred to the way Shakespeare wrote his play, the formating... and followed.

It's considered my first attempt writing a complete play. But probably in act 2 or 3, there'll be some really hilariously romantic scene. oops! i'm giving it away. I'll highlight it when I reach the scene which inspired me to write this play.

Haha, I'm not an expert in writing plays, nor did I every try to write one, but I would like to see how this play proceeds:) Good luck!

thanks for the support. but i do look forward to your critic ><

[ please reread and tell me what you think of it now]

[ sorry, going to repost Act II as a whole. I still have additional scenes and editing of scenes to do for Act II and it's coming about a little slower than expected. sorry!]

[ lol, i thought i could post it up today... well looks like i can't apparently. >< It's a little long /laughs/ I'm stopping at scene IV for the day. Will be working on scene V, and possibly VI and VII tomorrow... if i do have VI and VII.)

I havent' got to reading it yet, but liz's character bio thingy theres a mistake.
You listed science twice. maybe social studies?? lol

thanks for pointing that out!

Anyway, sorry that i deleted the Act II. I only had two scenes up the other time, but I've changed some scenes around so now it's a little different and I'm on the 3rd scene of act II currently.

Well.. I'm feeling disheartened ):

Not because you all didn't comment on it or anything like that, but more of my own work. I see how it is jumping around and I'm afraid it may not turn out as what i've expected it to be like. ):

I'm disappointed that i can't write to my expectations. )):

Hmm... I'm planning for this to be a 4 act play. What do you think? (it all happens in about 2 days)
