JASON
Hey little boy would you like a ride, a lollipop, a puppy?
How about a baseball bat? – there’s one in my pants

PETER
No thank you. My mom, she said to never talk to strangers

JASON
So a kiss is out of the question then…?

PETER
I’ll take a chance
So where were you? Online? Asleep?
Like half the congregation

JASON
So are we damned?

PETER
I stayed awake as long as I could

JASON
Good Catholic, I say we go fall asleep together

PETER
Do you?

JASON
Should I bring my baseball bat?

PETER
I think you should

STUDENTS
Jason

SWING
You’re a superstar man

STUDENTS
Jason

MATT
And I couldn’t guard you

STUDENTS
Jason

PETER
It’s always the same

JASON
No, let’s duck in here and…

STUDENTS
Jason, you have a date for prom yet?
Jason, did you lose my number?
Jason

JASON
This is all just a game

You and I
You take my hand leaving me breathless
Feel the beat of my racing heart so you’ll understand
And know why we whisper in hallways
I’ll be with you always
Running together, forever you and I

PETER
Tell me why I should trust you when the girls all lust to touch you

JASON
Cause when I have you near me I go out of my mind
Need help there?

PETER
You’re cute, and it’s tough to argue with a hard-on
Think that you could lend a hand here?

JASON
If I had the time

STUDENTS
Jason

JASON
Peter, don’t you worry

STUDENTS
Jason

JASON
Cause I wouldn’t leave you

STUDENTS
Jason

JASON
Not even for Zack

ZACK
Yo!

JASON
Hey, looking good man

STUDENTS
Jason

JASON
What we have is perfect

STUDENTS
Jason

PETER
Then we’ll tell my mother

STUDENTS
Jason

JASON
Let’s lay off the crack!

You and I
You take my hand leaving me breathless
Feel the beat of my racing heart so you’ll understand
And know why we whisper in hallways
I’ll be with you always
Running together, forever you and I

PETER
There’s something that I want to ask you
Now don’t say ‘no’
Just hear me out
After school they hold auditions
Something just to...think about

JASON
God, you asked the same thing last year
You know acting’s not my thing
Plus I might go out for baseball
And I neither dance nor sing

PETER
You have never mentioned baseball
You haven’t played since we were twelve
And as for ‘acting’s not my thing’
It’s obvious it’s something else

JASON
I don’t act

PETER
I think you’re the best act this school has ever seen

JASON
So take a bow, and I’ll…

PETER
You know what I mean
Just a thought, forget I brought it up

JASON
We'll think about it tonight
When everything is right
We’ll shut off the lights
And cuddle in bed
And see how far we get

PETER
Is that supposed to shut me up?

JASON
Yea

PETER
Jerk

JASON
You and I
You take my hand leaving me breathless
Feel the beat of my racing heart so you’ll understand
And know why we whisper in hallways
I’ll be with you always
Running together...
[a school bell rings]
...Miss me!

PETER
Forever you and I
