This is a light-hearted look at young teenagers who are still part child, yet emerging adults. A guide leads us into the everyday world of a group of 12-17 teenagers starting early in the morning. We follow them to school, back home again, and end with late-night phone calls reviewing events of the day as a new dawn approaches. In eight rich scenes, we see sophisticated yet simple interactive relationships working together: Good Morning!, The Bus Stop, Homeroom, First Period, Lunch, The Bus Ride, The Afternoon, and Evenings and Telephones.

Sometimes teens, who seem a bit uninterested in their current life circumstance, later emerge as late bloomers. Regardless, teens come up with brilliant ideas and questions about life as they grow into adulthood. This play highlights some of this transition.

One act; flexible cast; minimal props to suggest various scenes; present time.
