Victoria, Mom

VICTORIA

Mom

I am begging you

Please don’t go nuts about the Valentine’s Day dance

Normal for kids to take dates & it’s totally innocent

And it’s not like everyone is taking dates

I mean most kids are not

I am begging you

MOM

Victoria, I will do what I think is right

MOM

This is not your concern

VICTORIA

It is my concern

It’s a FUNDRAISER for ST. FRANCIS

And Edward is donating all this stuff from the party company

I thought of asking him all on my own

I really took initiative

I really care about this

I’m really involved in the dance

Please listen to me

Please let me go

MOM

Victoria. Stop.

VICTORIA

I feel like what happened when I was 4 @ the mall has spooked you for life and now you can’t function like a normal person

You can never face it

And it is ruining your life

And my life, too

MOM

Enough

Get your coat

Time for school
