Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxniHPYnDr
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! 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hn1c8R7qQ
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! 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYun2Gi0hJU
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.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QgVWzwPBp
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. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFOPYWozPl
RAINE
So, what happened?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kNDomGLcz
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSGdRSTCmK
RAINE
Same. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzonnTgpu3
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!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7o8p2WU1B
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQIeh9HAFD
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24qoZKQB43
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfghb9fhaB
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI22VpvowU
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTkpwycxmF
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!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9cRmD4Qcg
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl82mJEF2pW
RAINE
What are they talking about?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb9NbEtVDY
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5BdQexfnO
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3rSqtd4ot
AJWAKU
Raine?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBtooNhqJO
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTqnofz88J
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvmv6djkyq
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFzwEKTprI
RAINE
Uh, hi. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrynDMSryn4
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdR4rzifh8
REISHI
My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBzr2LTonu
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOa7ytdeW6
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4hPTNSZqj
RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6LwyAZ9M9
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xZG0yEhMy
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpymEtaQTfu
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkQ8FK5V8N
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiF8uOygn5
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX8QguaPZ3
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcno59Kk42n
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORxi8cK5P7
AJWAKU
Yes! 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrRdnWIGvv
(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!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ8GjXkPCS
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMILJIhdQB
SUNAKU
What?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEX9n5aYTp
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. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUY6dAlTNA
RAINE
Who are you? 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPoip6Xvjw
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsFPtMUEU5
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. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvBXyEqzv4
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgWZV5whR
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh9OijFAd0
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5CsWidDBH
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvhoZrrPll
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVrxCXHmAo
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?!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfqZb4TYVb
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rYZuqda5p
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuhrHkUcTk
AJWAKU
Yeah…?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05CESxGyQJ
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmcOTUNk1a
KABESE
Stop. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSGnfl3jSp
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAtlyZtXyy
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxl9XFVmw6
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!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3J0qpJYa9
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ah3LDPPX
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm5KDE8H0k
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Ik61HvAR
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi7IN7dSwL
RAINE
Sure… 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcfuV3jLZX
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5KYmxf71S
AJWAKU
Great!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPfhzn3zd0
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yoACVbzst
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyg13hBfYO
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrUDzdxtXg
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5guma0ndAR
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. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv0nSr4k7N
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. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IULGJYmHj
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.)
