Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KOxhv7UBV
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! 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNLHL011R0
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! 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2OPX9iYSB
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.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQtFdqEjoK
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. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoj9gf061d
RAINE
So, what happened?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb5Oo4l2HG
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJEZ36VaHx
RAINE
Same. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj5Lqhx1qz
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!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ebTvqSWKR
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYeWzsA8bm
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW79nGbEKom
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdlkx4JxzY
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXNcqFMJM
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvnYNgJxwq
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!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Vi4lx9gx
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWeT8Ne0ZS
RAINE

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRmtzfaN2u
AJWAKU
Raine?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7l5pT73IV
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6kNaPt4E0
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kl6oRAWmB
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiLcPjTyMc
RAINE
Uh, hi. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBhV9LfkSn
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgKFAYIwO8

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2UYEHOX42
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAHRFmpeHx
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp31klyx5Wp
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER8d3y73CG
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM05HBjt0f
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIeMOCRnMi
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXAjK23kXq
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQtfybOhbZ
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn322ZEdjm
AJWAKU
Yes! 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt4NkWNZun
(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!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylaEMwrHS2
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXOFNObcYY
SUNAKU
What?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmwID4vRe7
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. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1DzSGP4gG
RAINE
Who are you? 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEdrJdsREY
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJCC73qPvY
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. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnjiLJuIfe
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9DZ2IfiNE
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVzGFKyWO5
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24hDfsvNon
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qIK14RotZ
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUje40TmDHk
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?!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm6xvyCcog
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftmxh2SnSI
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhmdpkNlGG
AJWAKU
Yeah…?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJQuvpOURU
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtjl2Y4Xhp
KABESE
Stop. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk65isE920E
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ4dgUDs49
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKt6etoCHO
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese.
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3JCwe7uzH
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKy7t0bKNL
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I07Bv7EfQ
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ToIBy7ZEe
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TrSMv6I36
RAINE
Sure… 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l5Z8Fceht
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBQEMCsVbT
AJWAKU
Great!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OJiKzBX6k
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBuJB365SG
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz5uoJz03D
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYw4btRpsx
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0VJkKpbqn
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. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIoueKdbL3
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. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIpIcZX1oV
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.)
