//(The scene opens with// Aditi //pulling on her locker trying to get her tablet out before break ends.// Rebecca //enters to ask what is wrong with// Aditi's //locker.)//


 * Rebecca**- (//enters and, approaching// Aditi//)// Hey, Aditi, what is wrong with your locker?


 * Aditi**- It's jammed. I need to get my laptop for my next class, and break's almost over. (//annoyed//)


 * Rebecca**- Why do you need to open your locker?


 * Aditi**- Because my laptop is in there. I said that. (//without taking her eyes off of the locker)//


 * Rebecca**- Right. I knew that.


 * Brittany**- //(entering stage left)// Aditi, I heard your locker is jammed. Can I help?


 * Khadija**- //(without taking notice of the events occurring around her)// Gosh Aditi, you're always late! //(impatiently)//Class is about to start!


 * Aditi**- My laptop is in my locker, which is jammed, thanks //(getting irritated).// I need it for my next class.


 * Rebecca-** She's been at it for a while. I've been watching. We don't have any tools to open the locker with? (//looking around)//


 * Brittany**- Have you tried prying it open with a carabineer, Aditi?


 * Aditi**- No. I didn't think it would help.


 * Rebecca**- Good idea, Brittany! Let's try it, Aditi.


 * Khadija**- Whatever. //(says flatly)

(//Brittany //walks up to locker with a carabineer and unsuccessfully attempts to open it.)//


 * Khadija**- Told you guys. We are all going to be late.

//(//Khadija //gets a chair and lazily sits down.// Rebecca, Brittany, //and// Aditi //begin to tug on the locker, taking turns.)//
 * Khadija**: You guys only have three minutes. HURRY UP! You are all hopeless! (//Growing more impatient//)

//(Brittany and Aditi all turn around and say at Khadija)//
 * Together:** YOU AREN'T HELPING! //(yelling)//


 * Khadija**: Well! (//says with exaggeration//)


 * Aditi**- //(becoming furious)// Wait, if you're not helping why are you here anyway?


 * Brittany**: Yah, why are you here?


 * Khadija**: I'm keeping time... and saving your hides from another detention.


 * Rebecca**- Well... the carabineer didn't work. Are there any other tools we can use?

(Brittany //rummages in her pocket and pulls out pliers.Everyone turns to look//.)
 * Brittany**: (//realizing she can use the pliers//) Why not try these?


 * Khadija**: And why on earth do you have pliers in your pocket?


 * Brittany**: I have random stuff in my pockets every day.(//shrugging)//


 * Rebecca**- Let's all pray that this works!

//(Aditi gets down on her knees)//


 * Brittany**: Not literally!


 * Aditi**: Oh... OK. //(becoming a little enthusiastic)// Here. Lemme try to do it.(//urgently)(//Aditi //takes the plyers and prepares to use them.)//


 * Khadija**: One minute left. Come on, just quit. You're going to be tardy even if you do open your locker (//annoyed).//


 * Rebecca**: C'mon! I think it'll work.

(Aditi //turns back to the locker and, in one swift tug with the plyers, pulls it open).//
 * Aditi**: It's open!


 * Brittany**: So the praying worked!


 * Khadija**: //(amazed)// And we still have 30 seconds to get to class!


 * Rebecca**- Now we'd better go.


 * Aditi**: //(turning to walk away)// Thanks everyone!


 * All Together**: You're Welcome!(//all actors except// Aditi //say quickly as they exit)//


 * Rebecca-** So why do you have random stuff in your pockets every day?(//Asks// Brittany //while exiting stage in the same direction)//

(//All four characters exit the stage rapidly;// Aditi //takes her laptop.)//
