Poor Poetry: Role Play 3

Seth: I am. Life sucks. I just want to get it over with. DeAndre: Are you saying that you want to kill yourself? Seth: I’ve thought about it. It might be easier. DeAndre: Have you told anyone else that you feel like killing yourself? Seth: No. No one would care. DeAndre: I care. Seth: You’re the only one. Who else would I tell? DeAndre: Well, I think you should tell an adult that you trust. You’ve said that you get along really well with your English teacher. Why don’t you tell him? Seth: I guess, but I’ve never talked with him about anything really personal. I’d feel really stupid. I should be able to handle this myself. DeAndre: C’mon Seth, we’ve been through a lot together. If you want, I could go with you after school tomorrow. Seth: If you think that will help. DeAndre: I think it will. If it doesn’t, we’ll think of something else. Will you promise to meet me after school? Right at the main entrance? Seth: Yeah, I guess so. DeAndre: So, can you come over here and hang out for a little while now? I want you to hear the music I’ve written for your latest lyrics. Plus, my dad just called and says he’s bringing pizza home for supper. Seth: Sure, I guess. DeAndre: Okay, I’ll be waiting.
