Scene 1:
At Rise: JIRI is standing alone in the middle of the stage, with the curtains closed. School scene should be set up in the background. When she sits down the curtains open. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG4eHeL80I
JIRI
Jiri’s monologue part 1. Hiya, my is Jiri and I’m eleven years old. Sometimes I’m extremely happy, but other times I’m super sad, and I don’t really know why… It’s just how I am. I go to elementary school, even though I really don’t want to. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcjXCJhRlQ
I have a big brother, Ajwaku. He is the one that takes care of me. He’s always been super weird. He was born with purple eyes.
(She points to her eyes.)
And the like flippy part of his hair is like white, but the rest of it is like black.
(She tries to explain using hand motions.)
He could have dyed it over I guess, but he told me that if he dyed his hair he wouldn’t feel like himself anymore. I like that theory, so I accept it. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ggUBBJu6o
Oh! I forgot to say how or parents are like NEVER HOME! They’re always on business trips, well I guess they’re not “business trips” because they travel around the world and stuff. When they come home they are super nice to me, but I don’t think they like AJ, my brother, very much. I don’t know why people don’t like him, so DON’T BE MEAN TO MY BROTHER!996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJLEgm44aq
He’s had like one friends his whole life and that’s it. Until, his sophomore year in high school. Then he got this friend named Raine Kuro, and she’s the only person who might be weirder than he is. I DON’T LIKE HER! But, hey, that’s where my big brother’s story really starts, on the day they really met for the first time.
(She sits down on the edge of the stage.)996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTYYknPm9Q
RAINE
(RAINE enters on the staircase of her school. She is going up them. Near the middle she slips back.)996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH0NEbLSw7
AJWAKU
(He enters from the side of the hallway. He notices RAINE falling down the stairs.)
Oh crap!
(He runs and manages to stop her fall, but he falls too. He stands up before she does, and holds his hand out for her.)996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zcn3hJSNN
RAINE
(She doesn’t take his hand. She stands up on her own.)996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPfGpwD1Ok
AJWAKU
(He scratches his head.)
Not so good at flying are you?996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzajaQ5P2a5
RAINE
(She laughs awkwardly.)
No, definitely not my strong suit. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBrozm6llb
JIRI
(She throws her hands up.)
Oh! I forgot to mention that Raine is blind! Oops… So when she fell she probably wasn’t just being stupid. What I don’t get is that she never carries a walking stick or anything, like isn’t that what you're supposed you’re blind?
(She looks backwards.)
Oh, um… okay, back to the story… 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsA3NpMuk1
AJWAKU
That’s okay, I’m Ajwaku. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97hmKr7Nt9
RAINE
Thanks for helping me… Kinda… Stairs are always a pain. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rfGN2p5Ep
AJWAKU
I… Uh… Your name is… 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82rafBp7ST
RAINE
(She giggles.)
It’s Raine.
AJWAKU
Oh-996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeaAZlHp1b

(She cuts him off as she enters running and stomping.)
DON’T TOUCH HER!!!

AJWAKU
(He holds his cheek.)
Ouchie. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsaNpeCKbr
KABESE
Tssk. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsf55WNuTH
JIRI
(She points.)
That’s Kabese. If anyone in the whole wide world were to know Raine Kuro, it would probably be Kabese.
(She jumps up.)
She’s rude and tough! And was way too dense to notice any sort of social barrier between the blind teenager and herself. Under her angry exterior, she actually did care a lot about Raine. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOydnLi0gx
KABESE
God, what do you think you’re doing, bonehead?!996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCO0Ynbfdw

I’d be happy to accommodate you too. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK2aA9hX2d
SUNAKU
(He winks.)
Anytime. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x2Yk34JRD
KABESE
Gross! Let’s get out of here Raine!
(She takes RAINE’S arm and helps her up the first few stairs.) 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzApoEkZT6T
AJWAKU
(He stares down at his feet and mumbles.)
I could have helped her, you know? 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHI1aR0Klo
KABESE
(She turns.)
Well, too bad you’ll never get the chance, lover boy!996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUYVEk8c2O
SUNAKU
(He rushes up the stairs to RAINE’S side.)
So, what class are you girls in anyways? First day of school and all, right? I’m in 2C.996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMgcWlSyRq
KABESE
WHAT?! That’s what I’m in! Geez, you’re gonna be there. Now I really never wanna go to class!
(She lets go of RAINE, whom she had been dragging.)996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLQwlqDZ8P
RAINE
(She screams.)996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO0gbTUzqp

RAINE
Ugh… thanks again Ajwaku. I’m actually the worst. 996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXjF2p0dmk
AJWAKU
(He blushes.)
T-T-That’s okay.

KABESE
OH NO! I do not like these guys! I forbid it! Now come on! We’re going to class. Leave us alone, or you’ll wake up underwater and in half like the Titanic.
(She takes RAINE again, and they go up the stairs.)996Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLOxUDwZlg
