Dialogue - Paula Merchan

Bianca, tired of Nate’s behavior, decides to confront him in the lunch break.

Bianca: Nate, let’s have a talk

Nate: What do you want?

Bianca: Do you think I can’t see? I see what you’re doing to people like Renée and Diana

Nate: What exactly am I doing to them?

Bianca: Do you think it’s appropriate following them in the corridors and shouting at them? You always talk about what they’re doing or wearing until you make them cry their eyes out. Don’t you realize they’re our peers?

Nate: I’m not saying anything bout. They’re just constructive criticism. What harm does it do? I just don’t like what they’re wearing. They’re annoying me. They dress and act like little kids.

Bianca: Why do you get annoyed? They can do whatever they want to. What right do you think you gave to tell them those things?

Nate: Bet you haven’t heard me saying anything in the last week.

Bianca: This morning, when Diana has entered our class, you have screamed at the top of your lungs: HEY, DIANA. THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE FOR YOU. THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING! How would you feel if someone yelled at you this way?

Nate: I would laugh at it. It’s just joking

Bianca: Nate, try to think a little bit. There are people that aren’t fond of jokes. They just don’t like it. You know I can’t stand them. Why don’t you try to forget them?

Nate: I promise I’ll try to do something about it. If I don’t yell at them, I’ll have to shoot small balls at your desk and books.

Bianca: I’d fancy this attitude towards me for some time rather than attacking Renée and Diana. Thank you so much

Nate: I’ll try whatever I can do...
