ACT ONE
(At the parking lot outside the office building. It’s morning, but the sun is already hot. A boy, Pat, plays with a handful of buds. Mosquitoes from around the parking lot keep attacking his legs exposed by the pair of shorts. He monologues.)
PAT: (Stand on his left leg and kicks with the other) Ah! These mosquitoes are annoying.
(He twists as if trying to reach his calf with the bunch in his hand) Ouch!
(To the mosquitoes) Let me play in peace. The sun is scorching on one side, and you irritate me on the other!
(Pat throws a bud in the air and runs after it) Yeeees
(he then stops and looks at his shirt) This is how I sweat this early morning?
ACT TWO
(At the parking lot outside the office building. A motorcycle arrives and parks with an adult. Pat’s father’s colleague, Mr. Millan, and a girl, Jessica - about Pat’s age - sitting on it. She grins at Pat. He doesn’t speak and keeps playing quietly. Then he talks to himself.)
PAT: (Like a car after the bud.) (In a monologue) Vroooooom!
(He runs, then stops.) (Monologue) Where are they going to?
(He looks at the pair walking towards the office building. He grimaces and kicks his left calf again to send a mosquito away.)
(The pair enters the building.)
ACT THREE
(At Mr. Millan’s party. The room is well decorated with balloons, ribbons, and crepe papers. Strategic candles dimly light every corner. The room is already packed to capacity, and most of the occupants are children from Pat’s class and neighborhood. Jessica is present, too. James, Janet, John, and Jamillah are very jubilant. Then they strike a conversation.)
JESSICA: (To no one in particular) You are highly welcome to my father’s party. (She smiles)
PAT: (Looking away) Thank you, Jessica, on behalf of every friend here. It is very kind of you to welcome us as friends to this great day.
JANNET: (To Jessica) Sure, we are very …
JOHN: (Interrupts Janet) Yes, yes Jessica, we are actually happy to be here…I know we are going to eat and drink as much as we want.
ALL: (Laughs heartily)
JESSICA: (Catching breath from the laughter) Sure, John. There is plenty...
