Act 1, Scene 11
(Lights up. Lara Jean is walking home. Peter pulls up to her house.)

Peter:
Lara I am so sorry. I was not expecting that.

Lara:
I don’t want to hear it Peter; you didn’t even tell her to stop, you just kept going and let her lips
touch yours without hesitation.

Peter:
Do you honestly think I knew she was going to do that?

Lara:
To be honest I don’t even know anymore. I don’t know what to think anymore when it comes to
you guys.

Peter:
Lara I am in love with you and only you. Please understand that.

Lara:
Did you love me when you were kissing her?

Peter:
I loved you since the first day I met you. Nothing has changed and nothing will change.

Lara:
Peter, if you would’ve seen your own face when she kissed you, it looked like you wish you
never even wanted to be with me.

Peter:
Do you remember the day we first started dating?

Lara:
Yes, it was the day I realized I was going to regret doing this.

Peter:
I told I would not ever cheat on you because I love-

Lara:
Stop. You can’t say you love someone if you still have feelings or even think of your ex.

Peter:
I don’t think of Marissa anymore! Even after that kiss, she didn’t cross my mind. You were the
only person I thought about during that time. I worried that I would lose the love of my life and
lose the girl that I care most about in the world.

Lara:
Peter I don’t if us staying together is a good idea. I think we could use some time away from
each other and obviously you need to see other people.

Peter:
Lara please don’t leave me. I need you in my life!!

Lara:
It’s late, you should go. I have to go to bed.

Peter:
So are we done forever than?

Lara:
Peter we can talk tomorrow.

Peter:
Tomorrow’s not promised Lara and I can’t go to bed thinking I had someone and now she’s
gone. Why can’t you just tell me if you don’t want to be with me right now.

Lara:
Time Peter!! I need time!

Peter:
Time for what?

Lara:
To comprehend that I just witnessed my boyfriend, who I thought loved me, just kissed another
girl who treats me like crap. Not only that, but you didn’t even push away from her.

Peter:
I couldn’t push a girl right in the middle of the field, I’d get kicked off the team!

Lara:
So what’s more important ,me or the football team?

Peter:
Lara you can not do that, I never asked you to choose between me and your friends.
Lara:
This is different Peter. You just cheated on me!
 Peter:
Lara I did not cheat on you. It was not me who leaned in for the kiss. I didn’t even know she was
going to do that. Did you?

Lara:
All I heard was that she was giving you something, I did not know it was going to be a kiss.

Peter:
Lara, I am so sorry.

Lara:
It’s really late Peter.

Peter:
Lara I’m really sorry and I hope that this will all be over some day and I can go back to being
happy with you.

Lara:
Yeah me too

Peter:
Lara I’m serious

Lara:
So am I.

Peter:

you being there then we will just leave.

Marissa:
Lucy i still cant believe that i kissed peter i just can’t!!

Lucy:
I know you have been DYING for one of his kisses bc you aren’t used to not having them any
more.

Marissa:
I’m so happy right now, let’s play some karaoke!

Lucy:
Marissa you’ve been drinking I don’t think that’s a good idea. You look like you’re gonna puke.

Marissa:
I’m fine let’s do it. Hand me the microphone, I’m first.

(“Sweet Caroline” starts playing)

Marissa:
 Where it began, I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
Then spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touching hands

Reaching out, touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I'd be inclined
To believe they never would
But now I

Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely

We filled it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm holding you

One, touching one

Reaching out, touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I'd be inclined
To believe they never would

Oh no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline

(“Sweet Caroline” ends. Marissa throws up.)

Lucy:
I told you this was a bad idea

Marissa:
It’s not, I’m fine!! I just want to thank everyone who came tonight. And I want to thank Peter for
the amazing bracelet because it is so beautiful and it really shows how much he cares about
me-
 Lucy:
Marissa stop now!! Lara is still here!

Marissa:
By the way, if you guys were wondering, Peters lips are so soft and he is the best kisser ever!!

Lara:
Marissa where did you get that bracelet?

Marissa:
From Peter silly. Duh

Lara:
He really gave that to you? Did he tell you it’s-

Marissa:
Lara, stop. Just because you’re jealous that Peter is not over me anymore does not mean that
you have to know everything he does and when he does it. Can’t you tell her doesn’t want to be
with you anymore. You aren’t meant for him, I am!

Lara:
I hope you feel better Marissa, thanks for inviting me here.

Marissa:
Oh honey, actually I really didn’t my-

Lucy:
Marissa stop! Lara have a good night, thanks for coming.

Lara:
You too.

(Act 2, Scene 2)
( Lights up, Lara Jean)

Margo:
Lara it’s okay, don’t cry

Lara:
I can’t believe he would do this to me. I thought he really loved me.

Margo:
I think he still does. Things happen Lara. I highly doubt he really wanted to cheat on you. People
make mistakes.
 Lara:
I love him but he probably will do it again.

Margo:
You have to trust that he won’t

Lara:
I trusted him the last time.

Margo:
You hear someone knocking? Go get it please, I have to finishing folding.

Lara:
Coming!

(“Just The Way You Are” starts playing. She opens the door to Peter.)

Peter:
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me

And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Yeah
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say
 When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

(“Just the Way You Are” ends.)

Lara:
What is that for?

Peter:
What do you mean?

Lara:
Why did you sing that song?

Peter:
Because I want you to see that I still am in love with you and only you.

Lara:
Are you trying to get me back?

Peter:
I would hope so, I don’t see why we can’t get back together.
 Lara:
Because I don’t want to get hurt again Peter!

Peter:
Lara, I promise you that I will never, never, let anyone ever come between me and you again.

Lara:
Promise?

Peter:
I promise on everything I love. You are the only person I’d rather be with.

Margo:
Is everything okay out here?

Lara:
Yes,everything is fine now.

Margo:
Good, I’m glad.

Peter:

Yeah, so am I

Margo:

Peter don’t ever do something that stupid again.

Peter:
I won’t, I promise.
