Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ccw9Khxy
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! 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAFYqeJDv1
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! 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2RvbzoHOv
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.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbqVn0P58K
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. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiQCGtBnAV
RAINE
So, what happened?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hk6z2F1fU
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡystxEO3EfM
RAINE
Same. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6UnW4R2IK
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!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2u0IEs1Qh
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYMAC3zFwM
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S4vS6nc9S
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGPNRDKw8m
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0ZG6JcpA
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsRv4WjrnB
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!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3L0gTvFaF
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL29TCT7LP
RAINE
What are they talking about?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJd2zvt7ki

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YXdUVSlhg
AJWAKU
Raine?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ikQcwtNr5
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS51PkKUsBg
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxlAARyJLk
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uV2wQPvv8
RAINE
Uh, hi. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtidhNCc7b7

Well, I caused this storm you see. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwondgovoxN

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy3MUlUdKq
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bMVzJhNFO
REISHI
Oh,

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeHk0Q1Tbu
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PT4DLoYjP
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79VsVegcuF
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwvOweravU
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkTPTfWosU
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!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5RbIdfcC1
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhaxEMrika
SUNAKU
What?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6u9a1scWA
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. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEvcExpYlY
RAINE
Who are you? 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LTe1ea80q
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iosUAogaa
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. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuIZmHNAnD
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamwJcKdtx1
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhI5syCvOp
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjdPNHx5T6
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZH0Dxxfi
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60BS2MuGDO
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?!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoGUMjgRyP
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V4oXAAKTE
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnvsrmhWs
AJWAKU
Yeah…?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaaWHRuKxy
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks2gQ576KM
KABESE
Stop. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2UARsEsF4
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbebqScDpDZ
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRNWw2p0Oh
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LXV929XLJ
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEM8zYBfoI
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL1fXiR4Mc
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5jqUnignS
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5MwjiGHrw
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXO3mT2YG1
RAINE
Sure… 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCtsNPPnP7
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCk1L5TVlg
AJWAKU
Great!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKGUUm2451
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiJZVUpeAd
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPqo4aCYgB
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44mUolgOWN
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUbEfQjl7d
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. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJW8mTWc0a
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. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3POihqN74
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.)664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgMgwy9oMw
