MATCHMAKER
One Common Friend
Jake hates Shay
Shy hates Jake
Nothing in Common
Except one Common Friend
Rock n’ Roll forever
Raised on Classical and Acoustic
Negative energy from him
Deming looks from her
One Secret desire
He knows she’s a dancer and wants to try
She gets teased about being awkward, tall, and super skinny
Pushing Jake to see her recital
Groaning, thinking he will fall asleep to the boring music
Shay is terrified to go onstage
Has never broken the norm of the music
Knows their secret desire
Rock music starts blaring out the speakers
Jake takes off his headphones
Shay dances the performance of her life
Can’t take his eyes off her
Love in the making
I think she did this for me
Probably didn’t even come
One Common Friend
Pushes flowers in Jakes hand
A water bottle too
Shay’s performance ends
She wants Jake to be hers
Nailed the last move I wish he could have seen me
I’m falling for her
Already fallen for him
One Common Friend
Gives Shay a giant hug
Jake stands in the corner
Walk over to her you bloody fool
Jake came! He’s coming over here…
Kiss her
Oh Please Kiss her
Handing her the water and roses
Their hands meet
I kissed him
He kissed back
“You are beautiful.”
