Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAwEAvmJzX46
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! 758Please respect copyright.PENANA2iN3TcOIvW
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! 758Please respect copyright.PENANAAFEuQqQy67
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.)758Please respect copyright.PENANA4EzdOmaO2z
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. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAMoZDpM8gHl
RAINE
So, what happened?758Please respect copyright.PENANAmR2ZPQdo2b
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…758Please respect copyright.PENANAHwXF1Oy4tL
RAINE
Same. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAcf1RNYkgCc
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!758Please respect copyright.PENANA9FHOByid07
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAFfIUciTZBN
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!758Please respect copyright.PENANA5Br1f7iCxy
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.758Please respect copyright.PENANAcHGn6kqJwi
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?758Please respect copyright.PENANADMSisQC6E4
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 758Please respect copyright.PENANA3gfioDUq6O
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!758Please respect copyright.PENANALWZ2kVmI0i
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?758Please respect copyright.PENANAv1sBpguKXp
RAINE
What are they talking about?758Please respect copyright.PENANAOqiEnGklmI
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.758Please respect copyright.PENANAzibTT5xgtd
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)758Please respect copyright.PENANALC6nNwTp5y
AJWAKU
Raine?758Please respect copyright.PENANALnhUT41La3
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)758Please respect copyright.PENANAd8fDsHEey4
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)758Please respect copyright.PENANAmytUXCHj7y
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAze9DM4f0EP
RAINE
Uh, hi. 758Please respect copyright.PENANA4DNgrc6QPz

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 758Please respect copyright.PENANAo1WI4Or331
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.758Please respect copyright.PENANAcrTlmSn8Zt

REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)758Please respect copyright.PENANAbEqDMZTvsH
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)758Please respect copyright.PENANANAbInnzkgK
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?758Please respect copyright.PENANACWe41OaY4p
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)758Please respect copyright.PENANAXB87Lss02p
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAKI4tHaFLSo
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!758Please respect copyright.PENANAOKQNsp33QH
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)758Please respect copyright.PENANAT6sngNNJAw
SUNAKU
What?758Please respect copyright.PENANAyRFKiX0FYL
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. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAtgrHkAklSl
RAINE
Who are you? 758Please respect copyright.PENANABrSqklkjHe
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 758Please respect copyright.PENANAKXRD84dkzc
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. 758Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZhQZeqolv
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?758Please respect copyright.PENANAtgs0f2txgd
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAFz9R61wKwv
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 758Please respect copyright.PENANAeU7A5Ixv9f
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)758Please respect copyright.PENANArWhs9V9iyd
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!758Please respect copyright.PENANAFEN4F4vXSH
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?!758Please respect copyright.PENANA7njwsFCczw
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.758Please respect copyright.PENANAmZggLPD6UU
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?758Please respect copyright.PENANANlUH6N26qB
AJWAKU
Yeah…?758Please respect copyright.PENANA0CC5R4CWZ0
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?758Please respect copyright.PENANAKxtPk5pia3
KABESE
Stop. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAHonYpnjs3q
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAtWQebTXC3V
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 758Please respect copyright.PENANA8L8edidGGJ
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 758Please respect copyright.PENANApCfPVOWg6Z
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!758Please respect copyright.PENANAeH7fFUdIG9
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 758Please respect copyright.PENANAZMtnl24op7
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!758Please respect copyright.PENANAwyo1GM2FUo
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?758Please respect copyright.PENANALxlE7OG0wM
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAqXO81KQO37
RAINE

MR. AARON

AJWAKU
Great!758Please respect copyright.PENANAZg1CtOWyG6
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!758Please respect copyright.PENANAAdQx4F4LjA
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAGUNQ063idE
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 758Please respect copyright.PENANAqaeO5wd6FD
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)758Please respect copyright.PENANACfc5y8PKVM
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. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAulmmCJPILx
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. 758Please respect copyright.PENANAPwOsr8bP5f
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.)758Please respect copyright.PENANAU8BLraVkqF
