Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 552Please respect copyright.PENANA68NO1Cw7t9
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! 552Please respect copyright.PENANAxsxwLymdvO
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! 552Please respect copyright.PENANAial6knAkZ1
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.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAKbHo1cmCPQ
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. 552Please respect copyright.PENANATpB4jprkZE
RAINE
So, what happened?552Please respect copyright.PENANAS60bGzk6uG
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…552Please respect copyright.PENANAWV69oXzSKo
RAINE
Same. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAdYuZ2ZCx9H
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!552Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ3eVFniYD
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 552Please respect copyright.PENANA1AKwAJJBPl
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!552Please respect copyright.PENANAKOsa0KgdcG
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.552Please respect copyright.PENANAjuEBLQQVy2
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?552Please respect copyright.PENANAQAirSVLTzq
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAxnfJsFS28P
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!552Please respect copyright.PENANAzLFE7Btahl
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?552Please respect copyright.PENANAglGZPt3qxN
RAINE
What are they talking about?552Please respect copyright.PENANAaTNEg3LIU9
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.552Please respect copyright.PENANA8f8ZVHR9xo
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAIEqWjKG92I
AJWAKU
Raine?552Please respect copyright.PENANA2DoSMgoTMq
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAkUPwkrRbl9
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAnmfl6oekLm
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAdOJwPEFaV4
RAINE
Uh, hi. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAsnzkA5iFj7
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?552Please respect copyright.PENANAok4bY4KgZU

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 552Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ3rLmMTM0
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.552Please respect copyright.PENANA8uLqOeMlnF
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAMVp95CV4CW
RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.552Please respect copyright.PENANAmgqDZTOlR1
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 552Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rfy2mOAaW
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAgyR2nG6vIJ
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAUZhPth8yOu
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAt6OBcZErHe
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?552Please respect copyright.PENANAVZemM24urt
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAhs0y7jk73A
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAAgcP4fA6GC
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!552Please respect copyright.PENANA4TDMmREoHN
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAAM6Vbuy0NU
SUNAKU
What?552Please respect copyright.PENANAYrBl0GrPAh
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. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAdAKJIeyKrr
RAINE
Who are you? 552Please respect copyright.PENANABuEKIYuCr4
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 552Please respect copyright.PENANAZhugGiwzrb
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. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAmyIayQHrgE
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?552Please respect copyright.PENANAs8pMpoZOdh
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 552Please respect copyright.PENANA6AS9nRh4OL
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 552Please respect copyright.PENANAeY2zAC5P0v
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)552Please respect copyright.PENANAPE7PvIQXGb
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!552Please respect copyright.PENANACJiAKIYzpE
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?!552Please respect copyright.PENANAfVRQEuE6rh
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.552Please respect copyright.PENANAKDq92t3JbO
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?552Please respect copyright.PENANAilyWfqnCqS
AJWAKU
Yeah…?552Please respect copyright.PENANARl89wVhXac
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?552Please respect copyright.PENANAgsPLM4CLhq
KABESE
Stop. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAG0qI8aj7sE
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAcqyH2EO581
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 552Please respect copyright.PENANAy6WnUrYY3z
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAt6EOvarsBb
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!552Please respect copyright.PENANAkKVCI5BdQ8
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 552Please respect copyright.PENANAM331rFKGHs
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!552Please respect copyright.PENANAtuUoCGnMpH
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?552Please respect copyright.PENANAWIVKgReEYB
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAKAvuJMgeOZ
RAINE
Sure… 552Please respect copyright.PENANAz5XDmX7U0p
MR. AARON

AJWAKU
Great!552Please respect copyright.PENANAigdx84MBor
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!552Please respect copyright.PENANA9vg4NnLIp6
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAYWhifAjte4
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 552Please respect copyright.PENANAFfKbN1DDjc
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)552Please respect copyright.PENANA3MtFwWNCW2
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. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAGNZM8ldXQN
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. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAIktwO86KdY
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.)552Please respect copyright.PENANA3MIirR5Rfv
