Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 718Please respect copyright.PENANApHyq7krKWs
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! 718Please respect copyright.PENANAHb6ucmy5Bj
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! 718Please respect copyright.PENANAuEnUSCfNQs
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.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAbTyiDtlw0h
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. 718Please respect copyright.PENANASV8M7aRJZ7
RAINE
So, what happened?718Please respect copyright.PENANAltZILCRqVk
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…718Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dvigw6n5i
RAINE
Same. 718Please respect copyright.PENANALiJ5NboR6A
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!718Please respect copyright.PENANAROjoNGK8ta
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAoYQHHPZBip
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!718Please respect copyright.PENANADxMokWxKB4
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.718Please respect copyright.PENANAr8CUxkXEvY
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?718Please respect copyright.PENANASZMUbH9WzW
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAHjO1MGZTB8
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!718Please respect copyright.PENANA31l2XM8uGD
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?718Please respect copyright.PENANA1OQoqsb2kB
RAINE
What are they talking about?718Please respect copyright.PENANAITuxwTclmy
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.718Please respect copyright.PENANAQz5jWcZWZi
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5inGOgZgY
AJWAKU
Raine?718Please respect copyright.PENANAZoVR4UJjyh
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAR1dC4b74Kf
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAtKyPswoUcs
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 718Please respect copyright.PENANA54KRRKazhe

Uh, hi. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAHr12hQpF1B

REISHI
Oh,

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)718Please respect copyright.PENANA1wwVpWNxqL
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAnrx1gKZVGQ
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?718Please respect copyright.PENANAnYPB9Sc9vI
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAguvFRM7zCa
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 718Please respect copyright.PENANA95YO4kGhoU
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!718Please respect copyright.PENANAfypi9yZeVx
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAwPpndjv8p9
SUNAKU
What?718Please respect copyright.PENANAmP312wwTOg
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. 718Please respect copyright.PENANA5MpIDahqee
RAINE
Who are you? 718Please respect copyright.PENANAP2wffNB2Dt
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 718Please respect copyright.PENANABjCkaAV0d6
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. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAmrg318psVN
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?718Please respect copyright.PENANAo0OpChv6Ew
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ9CaldSz1
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 718Please respect copyright.PENANA379xF6uixl
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9HtUFuqDg
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!718Please respect copyright.PENANAp2z7yaBoZb
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?!718Please respect copyright.PENANAZOkkqurHkP
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.718Please respect copyright.PENANAFzmWK25cyv
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?718Please respect copyright.PENANAPyqLCsikuA
AJWAKU
Yeah…?718Please respect copyright.PENANAyFCF2rP4AB
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?718Please respect copyright.PENANArP8SXtUFtd
KABESE
Stop. 718Please respect copyright.PENANA2LIquvKXYX
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAp8Ph4qJcaL
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 718Please respect copyright.PENANAs0sQuka8gr
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAerHOaL0D5f
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!718Please respect copyright.PENANArRyDfrRMbq
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 718Please respect copyright.PENANAxPBBSXieZq
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!718Please respect copyright.PENANApUONNieebt
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?718Please respect copyright.PENANAlhCHevJKlu
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAvTBj7BZs6m
RAINE
Sure… 718Please respect copyright.PENANAyaFs3Zj20j
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.718Please respect copyright.PENANASlJ72ID8tD
AJWAKU
Great!718Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0pbdl2jGY
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!718Please respect copyright.PENANAgL7vmTHmIg
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 718Please respect copyright.PENANACNyYaEfOMO
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 718Please respect copyright.PENANA5BH2w3BCpE
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)718Please respect copyright.PENANAAY5S9o7rBw
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. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAKxCVGufaut
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. 718Please respect copyright.PENANAnp5ykAWrxX
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.)718Please respect copyright.PENANArxDlD970BI
