Stereotypes

Devan:  It’s happening again! She all over me!

Felicia: Who? Maria Jose?

Devan: Yes, Maria Jose! She’s so stubborn! You know what she tried to do today? Kiss             me! (Felicia giggles). It’s not funny!

Felicia: You can’t teach an old dog new trick. She’s used to getting every guy she wants, it’s hard for her to let you go. She thinks she has what it takes to make you             straight.

Devan: Ewww, no thanks. Why doesn’t she hit on Jerry, he’s gay too.

Felicia: Because he’s gay, gay. (Laughs) You’re just gay.

Devan: See that’s the problem. People stereotype gay boys to be all wannabe girls that       move their hips like this when they walk (he does the walk). Omg! I think I just       broke my nail!

Felicia: Thank god you don’t (laughs). I’d slap you if you did. And well I suggest that you             leave because she’s coming over soon.

Devan: (stops messing around and looks shocked at her) Are you serious? I invited James             over and he’s almost here, too! (Doorbell rings and they stare at each other for a     second, frozen in place.) I’ll get it. Might as well get over with it.

(He walks to the door and Maria Jose stands there and gives him a magnanimous             smile.)

Maria Jose: Devan! What are you doing here? I thought you weren’t going to be home    after school?

Devan:  (Between his teeth as M. J. invites herself in and sits next to Felicia) Well if I’d        known you were going to come-

Felicia: …He would have stayed a bit longer right, Devan? (Gives him a deadly stare) He             was about to…(door bell rings) open the door.

(D gets the door and sees James with his tight undershirt with green pants and a cowboy hat in his hand.)

James: Hey! Sorry I’m late, I was almost here when I remembered I still had you your             cowboy hat from the Halloween party on Saturday. (Devan leads him into the             living room where Maria Jose and Felicia stop there chat and laughter and stare at             James.)

Devan: Don’t worry about it; I seriously wouldn’t have an issue if you were an hour late.

Maria Jose: Ohh-la-la. Call 911 ’cause this boy is on fire. (She stands up from the couch             and smiles as James stand in front of her.)

Devan: She’s Maria Jose Sarah De Los Calientes De los Smith-

Maria Jose: …but you can just call me Maria Jose, (Smiles and holds out her hand) and             you are?

James: I’m James Milk, pleasure to meet you.

Maria Jose: Oh, trust me, the pleasure is all mine. Do you work in construction by any             chance?

James: No I’m actually a Waste Management Technician as a side job to pay for collage,             why?

Maria Jose: You have a great body, so I figured you worked with the local construction             company or something…(She squeezes his biceps, James starts to fiddle with his             car keys.)

James: Um. Thanks. (Looks at Devan.)

Devan: Yes. Thanks, (irritated) but my boyfriend and me have things to do if you don’t             mind. (He grabs James by the arm and away from Maria Jose and into his room.)

Maria Jose: His boyfriend? You mean he’s gay to? (Sits down on the couch                             disappointed.)

Felicia: Yup. Hot isn’t he?  (Smiles at M. J.)

Maria Jose: Are all the good guys going gay now? Because if they are, I better enlist in a             nunnery already.

Felicia: You would first kill yourself Maria Jose. You would never give up boys.

Maria Jose: Right. But I mean, I thought gay people were supposed to be ugly or stupid   or something, not hunks.

Felicia: (With an angry tone and stands up staring at M.J.) Well my brother isn’t anything             of that now is he? He’s a great guy. Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he’s out of             this planet. I mean you’re all over him and you wont leave him alone even though he’s gay.

Maria Jose: (stands up) I don’t mean to make you mad. It’s just we live in a world were               being gay is…

Felicia: Wrong, gross, disgusting, abnormal, immoral, against god’s law?

Maria Jose: (Whisper) Yes…

Felicia: Well this world is full of hypocrites now isn’t it? People kill, rape, steal, kidnap,             and do all those other horrible crimes. Yet what do people do? Point their dirty             finger at others that are different from them to hide their own fault.

Maria Jose: Wow… I didn’t think you felt so strong about gay rights…(embarrassed)

Felicia: I support my brother; he doesn’t really do anything against any law. “Throw the             first stone if you’re free of sin”. I know I’m not.

Maria Jose: Me either… Okay I get your point. (Hesitates) I’ll leave Devan and his hot             body alone. Happy now? (Sits down and smiles.)

Felicia: AND James too?

Maria Jose: AND the boyfriend too. (Smile)

Felicia: Okay, (she sits next to M.J.) we better finish our project for biology. (Stops and       looks around) Where’s your backpack?

Maria Jose: I hate backpacks.

Felicia: (Sighs) You will never change. (Giggles) So how come you were so early to class             today? Eric was so excited to see you already waiting for him in class.

Maria Jose: Ewww… Eric is like the biggest geek ever. My brother had to work earlier t            oday. His lunatic driving got me at school in plenty of time.
