Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYnzsQPJmw
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! 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6mLxUJ5t7
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! 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqz6rvWWo6
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.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OyZuoBWKj
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. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpssDzRzYK
RAINE
So, what happened?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqhInTkCPP
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRrX7NEXCa
RAINE
Same. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ64tqDvC5
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!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvGWbR6SGI
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0KVsYp6T1
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCoInkdCmA
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTTBXBHWvY
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f9SwiTyTt
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aRFpeKonn
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!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TS087wwO3

AJWAKU
Raine?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3g7x3i1EM
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu3jRXxhkV
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYhGoh45LR
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt3MgNVq3E
RAINE
Uh, hi. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C3fDobvH1

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeqaF8OKGu

Well, I caused this storm you see. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzBcXsck4P
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMkrWDMBg
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4z5yBVbXX
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUCJCCZcRv
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3VPRBp2Xh
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnHB1d8BZv
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BFSfZtvlV
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlgTD7yhub
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!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogtDbsUdEb
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZicPuA7j2
SUNAKU
What?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQYvHFXGVq
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. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGqAW7uArm
RAINE
Who are you? 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qCrtZ1P4t
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFUJwC6xtq
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. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckfTYBlVQv
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA6t8v9xjp
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGRIzGpPHs
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu7Pafv5fT
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvdhqLKUIv
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnj40tQe76
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?!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cD97FnzcY
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwjL1QlGQ
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxg5QXKbe
AJWAKU
Yeah…?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLf4HtVYId
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIDahDNe8h
KABESE
Stop. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeOypJaikS
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKZBypllMf
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR0ZI1PO5A
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDqyiavTuV
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtoN0XybyG
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJB2g313HG
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMpqmqrBJh
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCswfxhxU3
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoNHHnFauM
RAINE
Sure… 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMrFyiAAMo
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCd6c330MT
AJWAKU
Great!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5c1rZdzvz
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqG1lOBZm5
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkAjBJ0h7U
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDzbv7GQts
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMmAg7oLB5
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. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoVDaL4N35
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. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ61my0VgU9
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.)738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymvFaAk1pm
