i fell in love on a saturday (nina's diary) [workshop] - lin-manuel miranda lyrics

[usnavi]
okay!
maybe everybody’s wondering what’s going on?
everybody’s feeling tense
there’s suspense in the air
i don’t care
i’ll (?) some awesome knowledge
nina hasn’t seen him since high school or college
now nina-o rosario used to follow benny around the barrio
right behind him like luigi after super mario
she would pursue him
but as she got older she swore she outgrew him, screw em
but she can feel the desire she didn’t forget him entirely
this is a poem she wrote for him in her seventh grade diary
everybody ride with me i’ll take you back to a time
when she was just 13 and sang quietly:

[nina]
i fell in love on a sat-rday, you were there
you were running your hands through your hair
waiting for someone else
you were nervous
[benny]
yo, you’re lincoln’s sister right?

[nina]
what?

[benny]
are you lincoln’s sister? you’re nina right?

[nina]
uh huh

[benny]
you know where he is?

[nina]
combing his hair

[benny]
yo lincoln get over yourself!

[nina]
i know that you are much older i am young
and i barely come up to your shoulder
but i’m growing…if you only knew

[benny]
how old are you nina?

[nina]
almost 14, how about you?

[benny]
oh 18
it’s funny, you look a lot younger

[nina]
well apparently i act like a baby
cuz you laugh at how naive i sound
and i know that i’m childish but baby
i’m just helpless when you are around
cuz i’m falling in-

[lincoln]
benny, you’re late!

[benny]
what did you do to your hair?

[lincoln]
shut up! c’mon let’s go to (?)’s

[benny]
finally!
nice to meet you nina

[lincoln]
bye nina

[benny]
bye, i luuuve you

[lincoln]
shut up!

[nina]
and i write these useless words in my stupid baby diary
when tonight you’ll be staying over
when i’m praying you’ll desire me
earlier today i just looked away
as you shot a glance in my direction
but the hour is late and this feeling can’t wait
and i’m getting too old to be scared of rejection
i need you, i know you
and i’m getting too old to just do as i’m told
so believe me you’ll need me
it was love at first sight
when i saw you tonight

[lincoln]
so uh, what happened with you and jessica?

[benny]
oh god lincoln i’m exhausted man. i’ll tell you in the morning

[lincoln]
you’re exhausted uh, why are you exhausted? what were you guys doing?

[benny]
the morning son. i’ll tell you about the facts of life in the morning

[lincoln]
don’t disappear like that next time that was wack!

[benny]
sorry dude aight
i won’t do it again
goodnight

[nina]
talks cheap
i walk down the hall and i must keep quiet because you’re falling asleep
i’m in so deep
and i can’t sleep today cuz i’m falling all the time
you’re not helping by ignoring me
and i’m whispering all the time
in the hopes that something breaks through
and you’ll come home to me
come home to me
come home to me
