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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9zdC6caj9
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Ta3yhqVS
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHoJWbDlaG
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!652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOgwt98ZHa
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.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU36iUSmQxY
RAINE
(RAINE enters on the staircase of her school. She is going up them. Near the middle she slips back.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c7ueT3CoW
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.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65vHE4pAk7
RAINE
(She doesn’t take his hand. She stands up on her own.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RVRsm1sXA
AJWAKU
(He scratches his head.)
Not so good at flying are you?652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X18XvLPJd
RAINE
(She laughs awkwardly.)
No, definitely not my strong suit. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jEpetpunw
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… 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUXaBqEylP
AJWAKU
That’s okay, I’m Ajwaku. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe8UtAzPcQ
RAINE
Thanks for helping me… Kinda… Stairs are always a pain. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcNKxqFMs5
AJWAKU
I… Uh… Your name is… 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kAPDbK8jT
RAINE
(She giggles.)
It’s Raine.
AJWAKU
Oh-652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuySAqDmt7
KABESE
(She cuts him off as she enters running and stomping.)
DON’T TOUCH HER!!!
(She punches him.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNya1bOMnOe
AJWAKU
(He holds his cheek.)
Ouchie. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw48PK9QEp
KABESE
Tssk. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MCLYLQPwc
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsqLGTEZt2
KABESE
God, what do you think you’re doing, bonehead?!652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TvfejtWUD
AJWAKU
I-I-I-652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcchkCCILK
SUNAKU
(He enters with his hands in his pockets.)
Wow AJ, why do all the hot girls hit on you- literally?
(He laughs at his own joke.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFyNXJseVd
KABESE
I’d be happy to accommodate you too. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuBIBsOVNA
SUNAKU
(He winks.)
Anytime. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOkIMRJO1H
KABESE
Gross! Let’s get out of here Raine!
(She takes RAINE’S arm and helps her up the first few stairs.) 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6YZd5xelR
AJWAKU
(He stares down at his feet and mumbles.)
I could have helped her, you know? 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7qauQ0c78
KABESE
(She turns.)
Well, too bad you’ll never get the chance, lover boy!652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWf3i7yqKE
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75MJWWLLTX
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.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO0VjyHMeX
RAINE
(She screams.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIabbDwtjI
AJWAKU
(He stops her before she falls.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaIlTIUfiB
RAINE
Ugh… thanks again Ajwaku. I’m actually the worst. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q5r6KC1Xc
AJWAKU
(He blushes.)
T-T-That’s okay.
RAINE
So, are you in that class too?652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt50RPiT6y7
AJWAKU
Nah, I’m in 2A. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWZIJeDFXx
RAINE
Darn. I’ll be alone then. 2B. We could meet up for lunch, if you want to, Ajwaku. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIXGpDeJ2K
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.)652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv8biN7wih

(She waves in no particular direction.)
Byee!
(Everyone exits.)
