The first script that I ever made. For a sitcom in my English class on my senior year. I made this for just about three hours or something. It was noted by the the teacher. "Nice script", she said. It's not that funny for me, but I am proud of it, anyway.:]

Maria- (getting angry but controlling her anger) I was just asking. I just don’t think that it’s right for girls to show off their body parts too much. Right Xyra?
