Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zhxP6xGWX
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! 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmPDpRGATh
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! 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux0mEBasD6
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.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQlmnSsYlz
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. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrDq76ZziD
RAINE
So, what happened?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5glXBg0EXa
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk1PL031PV
RAINE
Same. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODGNrutRVh
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!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AoOpjOKxW
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aTXBOTIeq
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5MYBubQee
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4adaXsMytj
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLldm6cZ4y
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLAgYVRfC
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!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzylraUhDJl
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhM2elyt2q
RAINE
What are they talking about?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH0Ymx0khU
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5PfxT8iIx
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWl9fp8mEz
AJWAKU
Raine?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ9UV1wyYK
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGTpSLrE4f
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstyLtFABXE
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM7zxyICU9
RAINE
Uh, hi. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc5gcy9nLH
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7xk3uBU9i
REISHI
My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6mfIFBneZ
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW5A0rnXdn
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXnCaHZorv
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHQkDV6hvl
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZr7AlALM
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTZCfQXXQu
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IiGZl7TqH
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcujRw140jV
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbfjKlZARS
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuBw1l9W9q
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!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GcIPCkMaa
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpcqd28Bya
SUNAKU
What?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkhRMKy98T
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. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSwFX1pSKh
RAINE
Who are you? 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP8orBUDaL
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvidL2gseZK
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. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavFBeS2hXV
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2EtpWkcC9
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbHMTLxEfk
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBS5IBs7jn
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv5JBFmQS5
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCXj3qsGay
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?!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lfsw75Ksg
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMsEmfUY6n
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53zTAhwnKY
AJWAKU
Yeah…?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWRnmEx3nY
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe4B2evn9F
KABESE
Stop. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyl8h1IhTR
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pb47swhE6
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QeNgrweb7
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnAambGOm5
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8QX9ZK3Z9
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bs3WQe9X3
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVKWZ9xhZ6
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpam4gZwRtF
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRiQJLEDh
RAINE
Sure… 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5df4zgf39b
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFOFwtExXu
AJWAKU
Great!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyQGQ8FOah
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmEyQpwkt6
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41HBd7JFqJ
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurCZcIqEBa
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FgMTKh433
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. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0txFalQS9u
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. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HxUkn34gL
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.)663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk0fQhHFSt
