the first time, the last time

Will Mr X please come on stage, announces the MC
Silence!
Will Mr X please take come on stage, he repeats, slightly irritated
He slowly makes his way onto the stage
Over 200 curious and penetrative eyes are on him
What will he say?
They seem to be asking, he's a nerd
The judge tells him he has to speak about love
Love? he asks surprised!
He's never had a girlefriend
What does he know about love, someone in the audience whispers loudly
He clears his throat and…
Love… Love hurts
He says and leaves the stage
Ear piercing applause follows him
