Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcliWuBLdNQ
JIRI
Jiri’s monologue part 2. The next day, the weather people predicted a light storm. In the morning it looked really nice, so we all thought they were lying. How could it rain on such a nice day? Well, I guess the weather is like me. It goes to extremes. So, about halfway through the say it started storming. STORMING! 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OVNda5XI7
Schools did that thing where they call school off early, um… an early dismissal. I couldn’t walk home in the storm, so I had one of my friend’s parents drive me home. People’s parents always felt bad for me. Not really because of my parents, but more because I was me. SOME PEOPLE JUST DON’T LIKE WHEN I GET ALL ANGRY ALL OF THE SUDDEN! 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2wr2VVGUD
When I got home, AJ wasn’t there yet. I was a little worried, but not too worried. It took him a long time to get home. I guess he was stuck at his school because of some weird events that occurred. He tried to tell me about them, but my short attention span got the best of me.
(She sits down on the edge of the stage.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeCkaRaH9d
As curtains rise, AJWAKU and RAINE are in the main part of the classroom. We see into the classroom closet, where KABESE and SUNAKU are stuck. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZiiY1Wbd7
RAINE
So, what happened?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdHxgHbYIR
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWBnY2fhsJ
RAINE
Same. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxeQBLMIQP
KABESE
(She bangs on the closet door.)
Ugh! Garret and his gang trapped us in here. The announcement went off saying we could all go home, but now we are freaking locked in a classroom and I’m stuck in here with this one!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhHAszafQV
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLERlogGE8
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL7KKiavJW
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3REvVpoxfb
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF8oO42MgN
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyDTyt1OQe
SUNAKU
(He giggles.)
Heyyy… If I’m in here with Kabese… Go for it AJ!!! Yeah, man it’s your chance to make your move on Raine!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Xfa5B3sZ

No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3vRHsZK54
RAINE

AJWAKU
Raine?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiJ3p7qXFA
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqelLaZgKF
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ316yfLuT66
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz2NVLYaeF
RAINE
Uh, hi. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mf4w3YjnJ

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHsYDDZAMJ
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxctZh1G8AX
REISHI
Oh,

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7VDD5sZG5
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT73JV2Acxa
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrKMxBCBSj
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK5uYpu2jy
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqbkh1wWYq
AJWAKU
Yes!
(He tries to get to the door. He hits a few desks on the way. He bangs on the door.)
We’re here! The door knob broke. We can’t get out. Help!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2903LDFDF
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9q1k5sayZ
SUNAKU
What?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuWHMr8h1f
KABESE
(She bends down and lines the hangers up in a formation.)
Just try to get over here now.
MR. AARON
Oh no. I can try to help you. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ylj1oJrIc
RAINE
Who are you? 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2vkgL6xTN
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj3R0YTE6T
RAINE
That explains it. I didn’t take shop. Me and saws don’t mix very well. I’m blind so… they don’t let me near sharp objects. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXKb8WgZVi
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBBthf2V9k
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL1yvgJN90
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO71vu67ctW
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHusvvXQKz
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI2wYEbaoL
SUNAKU
(He reaches his hands out and tries to get to Kabese again. He trips and falls over the wall of coat hangers.)
Hey! What was that?!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJN0AM7zAi
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSS6wEPiWO
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDVv2C5dnU
AJWAKU
Yeah…?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpywZ3yCUI
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMW5wUkgVJ
KABESE
Stop. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqSa8caqWQ
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c6TG7mHcE
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD44zLLLyW
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo7SD5p0GK
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36sJ1Rd05i
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJxbF3EMPB
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgOJFIgOuB
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmPMyfm0v8
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkT7AVyvBx
RAINE
Sure… 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO02TmSX7Fv
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kBOqj9x7N
AJWAKU
Great!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh5aeeWiPR
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKRjih9bFs
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdivBvhnas
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RhJkGc558
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddrlJDp7TE
JIRI
So, once they got out of that classroom, my brother was able to walk home in the pouring rain. He was too young to drive, and we didn’t have parents around a lot to drive us. Walking or biking was pretty much our only method of transportation. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu1k7gr3kB
You know, I would have shipped Kabese and Sunaku too, IF I WASN’T FRIENDS WITH HER LITTLE BROTHER! HIS NAME IS KONO, AND HE IS IN MY CLASS! Basically, my friends are just the kids in my class that year. I’m kinda outlandish, so people just have to accept me. I’M LOUD and ANNOYING, but sometimes I’m quiet and sweet. It just depends what state I’m at during a given time. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHjWy6EIW0
The next day was friday, and I was going to have a play date with some of my friends from school. BUT STUPID AJ BROUGHT RAINE TO “HELP” BUT ONE, I DON’T NEED HELP. AND TWO, HOW CAN I BLIND HELP WATCH KIDS?! PRETTY SURE YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE IN ORDER TO WATCH! Anyway, DON’T CALL MY BROTHER STUPID!
(She stomps off the stage.)685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloFIw3mXcX
