In this monologue from the play “Chloe’s Party”, Melanie, a middle school girl navigates the highs and lows of adolescence, sharing her candid and often humorous take on friendships, school drama, and the journey of finding her identity in the ever-changing world of middle school.
MELANIE: Ugh, you will not believe what happened today. So, I’m at my locker, right? And Jessica comes up to me – yes, that Jessica – and she’s like, “Hey, are you going to Chloe’s party?” And I’m thinking, ‘Why is she even talking to me?’ We’re not, like, friends or anything.
And then she goes, “Oh, you didn’t know? It’s this Friday.” As if I’m the only person in the entire school who doesn’t know about Chloe’s epic birthday bash. I mean, seriously? I wanted to tell her, “Sorry, I don’t speak fake,” but I just nodded. You know, playing it cool.
But honestly, I don’t even know if I want to go. Chloe’s parties are always so… extra. Last year, there was this huge drama because someone spilled soda on her white carpet. It was like a scene from a reality show.
And you know me, I’m more Netflix and chill, not Netflix and spill. Plus, I heard Tyler’s going to be there. Tyler with the skateboard and that annoying hair flip he does. I swear, if he flips his hair one more time, I’m going to flip out.
But, I don’t know, part of me kind of wants to go. Just to see what happens, you know? Like, maybe it won’t be a total disaster. Maybe it’ll be fun. Or maybe I’ll just end up hiding in the bathroom all night, texting you about how bored I am.
So, yeah, that’s the latest. High school drama, and I’m not even in high school yet. Can you imagine what it’s going to be like next year? I’m already over it.
