Eavesdropping
a play in one act
Cast:
Girl, a sexy-cute mod style Portlander girl, approximate age 25, the sort you would have an instant thing for, but whom you would assume is out of your league, seated at the table next to mine outside the coffeeshop yesterday
Boy, a sexy-hip emo Portlander boy, not out of her league, the sort about whom, if you were a boy with a thing for Girl, you would wonder How does he do that?, seated across the table from her
Boy2, a third wheel, seated next to Boy
Girl: blah blah blah, something about summer college classes
Boy: blah blah blah, probably something about his band
Girl: blah, blah, maybe she and Boy can register for some of the same fall classes so that they can be together and it won’t be so boring
Boy: something about going to
Girl: Ha, ha! Right!
Boy: What’s funny about that?
Girl: There’s no beach in
Boy: (suspense; not sure if this is some joke that hasn’t played out yet)
Girl: (only slightly less sure) I mean,
Boy2: What do you mean?
Boy: Yeah, what do you mean? I’m going to
Girl: Wait, seriously? Isn’t
Boy: Uh, no… it’s on the coast. The east coast.
Girl: (looking skeptical)
Boy: Really.
Girl: (not looking at all embarrassed) Huh!
Boy: (just in case he had become too credible) Yeah.

As a native Virginian and professional geographer, I'm doubly appalled at the ignorance of those two boys. I hope you came to her defense. What a couple of assholes.
"...the sort about whom, ... you would wonder How does he do that?..."
...
"Girl: Wait, seriously? Isn’t Virginia… in the middle somewhere?"
Oh. That's how.
