Verónica: March 1, 1989 Dear Diary: I believe I am a good person, I really believe
There is goodness in everyone, but ... (optional mmmh or well) here we are. Last first day, I see
all these guys that I've known forever and I wonder: what happened to us?
["Fox","swallow","fat","faggot","dirty","cat"]
We were outgoing boys
We enjoyed it even more
Students: geek, silly, hard dick
Singing and laughing
Playing and sleeping
Innocents with love
Estudiantes:bicho,tncho, mili
V:Luego crecimos, nos corrompimos
That was the trigger
Veronica stumbles upon a student
Boy 1: uh
V: uh sorry
This is my school, a big mess
A desolate chaos
Breathe and count the time for
Upon graduating already
Students: TOR PE
The university will be a paradise
If I manage to finish
(The lights go down. Veronica is illuminated. The students in slow motion)
I know that our life can be as beautiful as yesterday
I keep praying and thus change
just try, to improve
We can be beautiful
Boy 2: also/ouch (at the actor's disposal)
V: But not today
I, are you okay?
Boy 2: run, stupid
V: sorry blue
Estudiantes: olfa, yeta, hueca, homo, homo, homo
Students line up and pass trays until they reach Verónica
V: When my letter arrives from Harvard
Everything is going to get better
I came out of this coma, with my diploma
I will leave without further ado.
I dream of luxury cafes in a big city
Ram: Mira
I control myself not to set this place on fire
(Ram reads the tray to Verónica)
oooops
(Everyone is on stop except Verónica)
V: RamSweeney. Third year as a Defender and a Master's in Throwing Trays and being an awesome
imbecile.
Ram: what did you say to me, filthy one?
V: it's nothing
(They exit the stop)
I know that our life can be All: I know, I know it
As beautiful as yesterday
I keep praying to get better Pray, Pray
We were good, yes, it will be like this again. To improve

(Martha approaches Verónica from behind her shoulder. Verónica sees her, gets scared, and screams)
Hey Martha
Martha: Hey
Everyone freezes except Veronica.
V: Martha Dunnstock. My best friend since we were in diapers. She has a big heart, but
It's not enough here.
(They return from the stop. Martha picks up Verónica's things)
V: Thank you
M: Is the movie tonight still on?
V: Yes, it's your turn to bring the popcorn.
I rented Daily Passion
V: Again? At this point, don't you know it by heart?
M: What do you want me to say? I am obsessed with easy finals.
(Kurt Kelly entra y le grita a Martha en la cara)
Kurt Kelly: Martha Dunnstock, it's a matter of weight.
Everyone goes back to the stop, except Verónica.
V: Kurt Kelly. Quarterback, the smartest guy on the football team (Veronica points at him)
and makes a face), which is like being the tallest dwarf
Everyone leaves the stop
Kurt: hahaha (mouth noise)
V: hey lift that already
K: Excuse me? Are you really talking to me?
Ram: my friend asked you a question.
(Kurt and Ram turn around and start to leave)
Yes, I'm talking to you. I just want to know what right you have to treat my friend that way. Just
you are a high school boy with a future as a YPF beach attendant.
K: you have a little mosquito there
(Kurt points at Verónica's face and pushes her before walking away. Students laugh)
V: Why?
Boy 2: Why do they hate me?
Girl 1: Why do I defend myself?
K: Why am I behaving so badly?
M: Why does he ignore me?
R: Why did I hurt him/her? / Why is there to hit him/her? (choose option)
Students: Why do I start to cry?
V: why?
Students: Someone hug me
Someone heal me
Someone save me
I want a miracle
A hope
To hold on
(Heather Chandler, Heather Duke, and Heather McNamara enter).
(Enter in 3)
Aaah, a Heather
Heather
And heather
V: and with you the Heathers, they go over everyone.
(THESE GO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TEXTS)
I love Heather
Heather
And a heather
I hate Heather
Heather
And Heather
I want Heather
Heather
And Heather
I love Heather
Heather
V: Heather McNamara. Cheerleader captain. Her dad is a jeweler, he sells engagement rings.
Heather Duke. She is in charge of the yearbook. She has no personality, but her mother paid for her breasts. And
Heather Chandler. The all-powerful, she is the true mythic bitch.
Those three are tough as stone, they are never bothered, they are never criticized. I would give anything to be
so.
Boy 2: I would like to be your boyfriend.
Everyone: Beautiful can be
Girl 2: if I hung out with them, the guys would pay attention to me
Everyone: Beautiful can be
Martha: I would like them to be nicer.
Everyone: It can be beautiful.
Boy 3: I would like to kidnap a Heather, photograph her naked in an abandoned house and
leave her tied up so the rats can eat her.
(The bell rings. The lights go to the bathroom, where the Heathers are. Heather D is
vomiting)
HC: Madura Heather, bulimia is already out of style.
HM: you should see a doctor Heather
HD: Yes Heather, she should.
(Teacher enters)
MsFleaming: uh Heather and Heather…
(Heather vomits D)
Ms. Fleaming: ... and Heather. Maybe you didn't hear the thunder because of so much vomiting, you're arriving late to...
classes.
HC: Heather is not feeling well, we are helping her.
Ms. Fleaming: they are given permission to walk in the hallway, they are warned.
Actually Ms. Fleaming, the four of us have permission to go work on the yearbook.
Ms.: I see that they are all noted down, hurry up.
(Heather C takes the note away from Verónica. Heather D and Heather M get together to assess the situation)
HC: This is an excellent forgery. And who are you?
V: Veronica Sawyer. I need a favor.
HC: What favor?
I need you to include me just this once, we don't need to talk. As long as people think
that they like me, they won't bother me anymore.
(the Heathers laugh)
V: before you answer, I also do notebooks, permits, signatures, and notes.
HD: What about recipes?
HC: shut up Heather
HD: sorry Heather.
HC: To be rickety, you have a good bone structure.
HM: And an asymmetric face. If I cut your face in half, it would have two equal halves, and that is very
important.
HD: obviously you could lose a couple of kilos.
And you know, know, know
How beautiful it can be
With mascara and then a gloss
Come on, let's go
With blush and more, I prefer to use your brush
You will look beautiful
You will be beautiful.
You will look beautiful
You will be.
Okay?
Okay!
(Veronica and the Heathers leave)
Kurt: move over, idiot
Boy 3: I don't want any trouble
Ram: you charge at the exit
Girl 1: don't come near me
Girl 3: I came out drooling
Boy 2: I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Students: No one can stand her
I want to escape
I am going to die
Ms. Fleaming: Who is that Heather?
Students: Wohoa
Heather, Heather, Heather
(Heathers D enters)
Girl 3: And someone else?
Students: heather, heather, heather
(Heathers M enters)
Kurt: Is Linda?
(Heathers C enters)
Estudiantes: heather, heather, heather
M: veronica?
Students: Veronica, veronica veronica
(Verónica runs to the center of the proscenium)
And you know that our life still
Beautiful can be
Wait, dream and you will see
You will achieve it.
How to explain
What does it feel like to shine
Beautiful this is (this is)
Oh beautiful God, this is.
Beautiful can be
A very beautiful day is
Students: Heather, Heather, Heather, Veronica!
Heather, Heather, Heather, Veronica!
Veronica! Veronica! Veronica! Veronica!
