Your scenario (outline of the story) is a good start. Here is how to write a play. Make a detailed list of what the characters do (not what they say or talk about). List all these actions in the order in which they occur, like you have above, and then go back and translate each action into what the characters are saying while doing them When you have finished you have a play
Plays are not conversation, the dialogue always is representation of what is happening. Plays are action. things that people do. Keep that fact in mind.

You kill yourself because your Dad won't let 15-year-old you go out on a date with some guy you just met at the mall?

It would be a lot more realistic if the two guys at the mall ended up being sadistic perverts who drug and rape your two best friends.
