Drama Monologue

I chose this script because I think this monologue is pretty fit for me as a 14-year-old High School.

A young actress auditioning for her school requested a monologue for a 15-year-old.  With that broad request, I decided to make the piece about being not quite old enough to drive.
A comedic female monologue created by Gabriel Davis

"Dad, you will let me take the car myself.  I’m going to be 16 in two weeks.  Yeah, technically my learner’s permit requires you in the car with me … technically I have to wait two weeks to get my license ….

But you know I can drive, you told me I’m better than mom.  I can three point turn, parallel park, and I observe the traffic laws like a religion.  So it’s not like irresponsible to let me drive, because you know I’m awesome at it.

GOD!   This is so unfair.   I hate you!   You’re going to ruin me socially.

The coolest girls in freshman year, the ones whose parents are all probably making huge donations at mom’s gala tonight, who live in the massive houses on the hill and won’t talk to me.  They started talking to me. Because they needed a ride to the dance.   And I’m like, I can take you.   And they’re like, “you’re 16?” and I’m all “yeah.” And then they said, “cool.”  And I’ve been eating lunch with them every day this week, and they’re all so excited.  

It was well thought out.  You and mom were supposed to be at her benefit gala thing tonight … you weren’t supposed to have a stupid fever and be stuck at home. If I let them down…  If I don’t get in that car right now and go pick them up and take them to the dance  … I’m dead or I might as well be.   They will make it their life’s work to ruin me.  I will be marked, mocked, and probably shunned.  My entire high school experience will become hell.  

I’m not being dramatic.  I’m being accurate, dad.  This is how things go.  

So I’m begging you … just …. Just go to sleep.   You have a fever you know.    You need your rest.  Just, go to sleep now and I’ll… I’ll still be here when you wake up in exactly 3 hours.  Right before mom gets back.

Please, Dad. My life depends on it."
