For those of you who wish you could read my stuff, I've gone ahead and added one of the first plays I could be allowed to present on here.

This is my play for playwriting class. The basic premise is we have to write a play within a theme of one of the seven deadly sins. If you have a few minutes will you read it and reply back with what you believe the sin is based on this snippit I have here? It will help me in figuring out how to fix this play or not fix it. And for those of you who don't know all seven deadly sins, here's a summary of them.
1. pride 2. anger 3. envy 4. gluttony 5. lust 6. greed 7. sloth
Thank you so much!!

Oh, one more thing.
This is only 6 pages out of a 10 page expected play so it won't feel complete but..it's a start right?

SCENE ONE
(It is the middle of the night outside of a Chapel. On a bench outside of the Chapel door, CHALFON sits with his head in his hands. HARLEY runs on stage over to where CHALFON is sitting and sits down beside him, leaning her own head down in her hands.

CHALFON ignores her. HARLEY leans her head back, trying to catch her breath.)

HARLEY
Chal?

(CHALFON ignores her)

HARLEY
C’mon Chal, I know it’s you. I’d recognize your nose anywhere. What the hell are you doing here?

CHALFON
I could ask you the same question.

HARLEY
Oh y’know how my life goes. I just pushed my dad a little too far tonight with sneaking out a few nights ago.

CHALFON
Same bruises?

HARLEY
(shakes her head)
No, no bruises this time. (rolls up her sleeves) Burns.

CHALFON
Burns? (looks at her arms) Geez Harley, what does you dad do? Put your arms over the rotissorie?

HARLEY
Yeah, it looks that way doesn’t it? I figure if my dad's gonna kill me he won't do so where God lives, so I figured I'd come here. (pulls out a cigarette) What is a guy like you doing hanging around the Judas Chapel?

CHALFON
It’s not Judas. It’s Jesus.

HARLEY
All right. Geez, sorry. I didn’t know you cared so much.

CHALFON
I don’t care.

HARLEY
Sounds to me like you do.

CHALFON
I don’t.

HARLEY
(lights up her cigarette and holds it out) You want one?

CHALFON
No.

HARLEY
Why not? It’ll help you relax so you can finally go inside and speak to this Jesus who you are waiting to visit.

CHALFON
It’s not me who wants to visit him okay?

HARLEY
Then who could it be? It can’t be your parents cuz they’re well…y’know…not held higher than me on God’s list.

CHALFON
It’s not my parents. It’s Julianna.

HARLEY
Julianna? As in Julianna Marquez? You mean ‘Miss Walking Bible’?

CHALFON
She’s not a walking Bible okay?

HARLEY
Oh please Chal. She was the one who told us we couldn’t smoke when we were dragging in the Sweet Dreams in eighth grade. Sweet Dreams Chal! No one complains about Sweet Dreams! They’re about as harmful as a Fabreze candle.

CHALFON
Maybe you should put the cigarette out.

HARLEY
Why? Cuz your girlfriend is gonna tell me so? Please.

CHALFON
You know, I’m asking you to do a simple request, I don’t see why you can’t just do it.

HARLEY
I can’t just do it because it’s not you who is saying it. It’s your girlfriend.

CHALFON
My girlfriend is in the Chapel okay? She can’t be talking through me if she’s already talking to Jesus.

HARLEY
It doesn’t matter Chal. She’s changed you. You’re not the same Chal I remember.

(CHALFON doesn’t speak, but turns to the door)

You could have been a good guy Chal. I put so much work into you. You had been my buddy up until she showed up.

CHALFON
Hey hey hey. You and I will always be buddies.

HARLEY
I wanted more than buddies.

CHALFON
Are you...jealous of her?

HARLEY
Jealous? No. Why would I be jealous?

CHALFON
You are jealous.

HARLEY
Am not. Look, I just know that she’s not good enough for you. She’s too..clean. She doesn’t seem like your type.

CHALFON
Then who is my type?

HARLEY
Me, of course. I’m your type.

CHALFON
Wow uh, Harley? Not to sound mean but uh honestly? I can’t see us ever being more than friends. You know that. You’ve always known that. You know, it goes back to that whole opposites attract thing.

HARLEY
I’m a woman. Doesn’t that make me opposite enough?

CHALFON
No Harley it’s more than that it’s—

HARLEY
Look Chal. I’m not saying I’m the end all be all for ya. I will say this though, I would never in a million years make you sit outside a Chapel while I talked to some stained glass window. I would never do that y’know why? Because I know it would make you uncomfortable.

CHALFON
I’m not uncomfortable okay? I’m just being a good boyfriend and waiting outside for my girl.

HARLEY
That’s what you’re saying, but I know that’s not what you feel. You deserve someone who can catch onto your real thoughts Chal.

CHALFON
I know, but I value our friendship too much. I don’t wanna ruin it.

HARLEY
So you’d rather stick with that fake Julianna?

CHALFON
I didn’t say that.

HARLEY
But that’s what you meant.

CHALFON
Look. Honestly Harley, you’re lucky you’re not with a guy like me.

HARLEY
Lucky? Lucky? You think I’m lucky?

CHALFON
Yes Harley, you’re very lucky. You’ve got a chance to change your life from perpetuating the same crap you and I have both had to live through. There’s some guy out there for you who’s nice enough to teach you the shinier side of the coin.

HARLEY
(perturbed)
You think I’m lucky? Do you call it luck when I walk down the halls on Valentine’s Day with no balloons or teddy bears in my arms? Do you think I’m lucky when I have to say I’m sick to all my friends while they’re at dances because I’m too embarrassed to be there without a dance partner? Do you think I’m lucky when I text myself on my cell phone just so I can look like I’m sought after? Do you call that luck?!

CHALFON
No.

HARLEY
I don’t either. Honestly, I’ve never had a guy give me a second glance. No one knows or cares that I exist.

CHALFON
Okay Harley, I get it.

HARLEY
But if I had a guy on my arm, then I matter. I figured I mattered to you in that way. I know I had to at one point, until she showed up.

CHALFON
She has no say in mine and your friendship.

HARLEY
Yeah, whatever. You never call anymore.

CHALFON
That’s because I’m always with—

HARLEY
Julianna, right?

CHALFON
Well yeah but if I’m not with her I’m not a good boyfriend.

HARLEY
She’s not right for you Chal.
(blows smoke in his face)

CHALFON
Will you stop that?

HARLEY
Stop what?

CHALFON
Blowing smoke at me. Or even smoking in general. You shouldn’t smoke. It’s bad for you.

HARLEY
Who are you again?

CHALFON
Harley, don’t be like this.

HARLEY
The Chalfon I know used to love the smell of my smoke.

CHALFON
That was back when we smoked Sweet Dreams.

HARLEY
Oh, so now that I’ve switched to Camel nines you don’t like it?

CHALFON
I didn’t say that. I just don’t want Julianna to think that I—

HARLEY
Smoke? You have before Chal, you can’t avoid who you are.

CHALFON
Look, just put it out. I don’t want to smell like smoke when Julianna comes back.

HARLEY
She’s coming back?

CHALFON
Unless she’s gonna ascend to Heaven yeah. I assume so.

Re: If you have a moment

Wow, that's pretty good, as usual Mel
Oh I know which Sin it is by the way. I won't tell you on here though as it's best to leave other people guessing.

You know what you should do Mel? You should edit this post and add a Poll to it. Set it up so people can only choose ONE Sin, and then see how many people guess the correct answer

Anyway, I'll PM you in a minute or two with, what I think, is the correct Sin

Speak soon my good friend,

Jay
