(We hear screaming offstage, wailing mostly, a faint  'Where is it?' emanating from the wings.  Then a girl emerges, her hair askew, wild-eyed, she looks around wildly)

Where is it?  I know I had the cell phone with me when I came!  I know it because I remember talking on it and the teacher told me to turn it off!  And now I can't call it to find it!  What am I going to do! 

(She looks some more, under things, behind things, in the audience under people's chairs, all the while muttering)

I have to show them I'm responsible!  And this is really doing it!  Are they looking at me?  I bet they are!  I knew i shouldn't come to this advanced class- they're all older and I'm just starting out....where is that cell phone!

(She stands and starts to shudder)

I can feel it somewhere in this room- it is calling out to me!  Oh, cell phone, dear cell phone!  Wherefore art thou dear cell phone?  Foresake thy hiding place and show thy plastic face!  Puhleeeeese!

(She is quiet now, listening)

Wait a second, did I remember something?  When the teacher told me to turn off the phone, I turned it off and I was so embarrassed, I put it somewhere very safe...let me think, where would that safe place be? 

(She re-creates the scene)

Ring, ring, ring.....oh, no, Mrs. McKinley, I'm sorry.....(listening)  I know I promised to turn it off....(she is visibly embarrassed) ...I'll turn it off and put it far away....I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!  Please forgive me!  Sorry class...I'll do better next time!



(Stops, thinks,  starts smiling)

Now I remember.....

(She smiles and skips offstage, then turns back)

Yes, Mrs. McKinley, I wrote this all by myself.  And guess what?  It was based on a true story!

(Exit.  The end.)
