“Smeared Ink” (serio-comedy) Under 1 Minute

Monologue Description: “Smeared Ink”  is a serio-comedy about a young kid who messes up when getting a girls phone number.

Character Description:  In this monologue, Jayson, a twelve year old, is excited about getting a girl’s phone number that he likes in school.  He wrote her number down with a pen on his palm but when he goes to retrieve the number, he realizes that half the number is smeared ink.  He is talking to his best friend about the whole ordeal as they walk home from school.

JAYSON: 

I got her number!  Yeah!  Who is the man?  Who is the man?  I AM THE MAN!  YEAH!  Right here, check it out!

(shows his friend his palm)

I wrote it down right here on my han—on my hand…Oh no.  It rubbed off.  I only have half the number.  Oh man!  I wrote it on my hand and it smeared!  Damn it!  Now when I go back to school I’m going to look like an idiot!  I can’t ask her for her number again.  I’m going to look like an idiot! 

I told her I was going to call her today when I got home!  What am I gonna do?  I’m screwed.  I’m gonna look so uncool now.  Look like a giant herb.  This is the worst day of my life!

I should have written it on a piece of paper but we were in the schoolyard talking and all I had on me was a pen and I, I–ah man, I’m such a schmuck.  I can’t believe it. 

What am I gonna do?  What am I gonna say to her now when I see her?
