Kleos
A Graduate
In a huge stadium filled with excited students and proud parents
There sits an unenthusiastic girl next to other students
Maya
When is my name going to be called
Maya
I never knew it was going to be this long
She looks to the far left of her
And becomes gloomy because her parents aren’t there
Maya
Mom and Dad are you watching me
Maya becomes sad at the thought of them
Principal Smith
And now i will call up the top 10 students of this year
Principal Smith
These students had a gpa of 3.9 or higher the whole year
He calls up the students names
And they got handed their diploma
Principal Smith
And now these 3 students had a gpa of 4.0 or higher
Principal Smith
Maya Takahashi
Principal Smith
Come on up
She gets up and walks over to the podium
Then shakes hand with Principal Smith
And receives her well earned diploma
Principal Smith says to the mic
Principal Smith
Maya will also give a speech
Principal Smith
Since she is up here
Maya
What I have to give a speech
She looks at the people in the stadium
About what she wants to be and do
Maya
I may have good grades
Maya
I do not want to be anything like a neurosurgeon
Maya
They may have get paid well and get good benefits
Maya
But I really want be a ...
Trying to listen to her speech
Maya
I want to help save people from evil humans
Maya
And also receive Kleos ...
Maya
I want to go down in history
Maya
Be remembered for centuries
Maya
That’s what I truly want
Maya
To be a hero for others
Maya
And especially for myself
Maya
Knowing I made a difference in the world
The audience suddenly starts to clap and cheer for her
As she walks off the podium
And suddenly gives a beautiful and bright smile
A few minutes later the graduation ceremony ended
Maya goes to find her friends
So they can hang out probably for the last time
She finds both her best friends
Maya
Don’t talk about my cringe speech
Ezra and Adrien both laugh together
While Maya looks depressed
Eat the Rich
Maya, Ezra, and Adrien are at a restaurant
Ezra drinks her soda and slams it down on the table
Ezra
All 3 of us graduated
Ezra
And are onto adulthood
Adrien slurps his noodles
And says with a full mouth
Adrien
You make it sound like it’s a good thing
Maya
Ages 18 to 25 are the toughest years in a humans life
Ezra
But I will be going to New York
Ezra
You already know my dream is to become a fashion designer
Adrien
But do you have the money
Maya
New York is too expensive
Maya
You’ll probably end up homeless if things don’t go right
Ezra
I’ve been working hard since I turned 16
Ezra
I got a job at a retail store
Ezra
And do you know hard that is
Ezra
During Christmas time all you hear is Mariah Carey
Ezra
Just 2 weeks ago I met a Karen
Ezra
You know how frustrating that was
Adrien
I can’t do what Ezra does
Adrien
Picking up dirty bottles and cans just for a few bucks
Maya and Ezra looks at Adrien with angry looks
Maya
Let’s just eat the rich people
Adrien spits out his noodles
Adrien
You guys can’t commit cannibalism no matter what
Adrien
Why are you saying sure
Adrien
You should have said “ I was just kidding”
Ezra
Calm down we’re just kidding
Maya
Yeah I would never eat people
Maya
You guys think I must be crazy
Maya
I have never done anything crazy
Ezra
Well you did say to a kid that you were going to kidnap him
Maya
I only said that because I wanted to teach him not to just trust anyone
Maya
No matter what they look like
Adrien
Could have tried a different approach
Ezra
And that time when a man flashed you
Ezra
You said you’ll rip his face off and
Maya
I may be just a little crazy
Maya
Let’s talk about what we’re going to do now
What Do We Do Now?
Maya
Let’s talk about what we’re going to do now
Ezra
I have enough money to buy a studio in New York
Adrien
So when are you moving
Adrien
Yeah, won’t that be dangerous
Ezra
I carry a pepper spray, a taser gun and a knife
Ezra
I also took Taekwondo
Ezra
I also have a necklace that will make a loud siren noise
Ezra
When I press it if I am in danger
Ezra
I think I’ll be fine
Ezra
Oh and I don’t trust people easily
Ezra
So I won’t be swayed by anyone
Adrien
Seems like you’ll be fine
Maya and Adrien feel sad to think about Ezra leaving
Maya
But we’ll miss you too much
Ezra
You guys will do fine without me
Ezra
We’ll talk to each other on the phone
Ezra
And when I become rich I’ll visit here often
Ezra
What about you Adrien
Adrien
I’m going to become an athlete
Adrien
Since I am very athletic
Adrien
I am very good at running and swimming
Adrien
And my buff and sexy body will help
The girls look at him with disgust
Adrien
Why are you guys looking at me like that
Adrien
Everybody likes 6 pacs and thick thighs
Maya
But your body is not like that
Ezra
Yeah why are you lying
Adrien
It’s just weird to show my ***** body in front of others
Maya
Ok we’ll take your word for it
Adrien whispers to himself
Adrien
Well then we all know what Maya wants to be
Maya
Why are you saying that out loud
Adrien
Maya how are you going to do that?
Adrien
You want to be remembered for centuries
Adrien
But it’s going to be hard
Adrien
It’s not like you can stop wars between major countries
Adrien
Or even small countries
Adrien and Maya look at each other intensely
Ezra
Wait what’s this weird atmosphere
Maya
But there is a way to receive incredible power
Maya
Extraordinary power and not just any kind
