Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAYHpNHFJeSm
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! 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAB9H9TRwa7b
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! 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA672LepVGef
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.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAnD3ruiQjf1
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAFpWua5EBsL
RAINE
So, what happened?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAimjJGJg3Ym
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…1060Please respect copyright.PENANAvgOpUOQ0pH
RAINE
Same. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAMkOqo1y2zV
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!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAjXjgwQuzUu
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAvbRqFz2uCz
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Jomc90ds
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.1060Please respect copyright.PENANASMjB4Yte3n
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAoaMHaTN2X5
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAh6PU4OpUby
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!1060Please respect copyright.PENANA8ULgCSgJpF

AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.1060Please respect copyright.PENANAEbv7TVsMpm
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAJmflA1bd7E
AJWAKU
Raine?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAYcCzqwXHgF
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAIA0pHdAftU
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAYSX8WuQMWj
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAaX3nUHBMtP
RAINE
Uh, hi. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAd4jRcZjVkq

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANA5kv35elAH3
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAiUhej21jTp
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAio3E3y5d9b
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAWRipH5SfTB
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAbbPHh2nPsz
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!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAQEdB1Qtb7B
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANA7xGKzlf43t
SUNAKU
What?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAQV1u5GVbb3
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANArZkFT5ZiBp
RAINE
Who are you? 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA9EVAVEOLb4
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAJJObfae33z
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANASuUo9ISsvS
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?1060Please respect copyright.PENANA1drYRybS4g
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANARIvUiJexq4
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAJFs1rb7y2W
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAtJJ9YWaUSB
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAr9W6U7F1IO
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?!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAzfjrJ1TbSV
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.1060Please respect copyright.PENANAxMRAIkvqoZ
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?1060Please respect copyright.PENANA5JCLycKNpW
AJWAKU
Yeah…?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAMOASNTiM0B
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAx92DiFqKd6
KABESE
Stop. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAw1bC4qbhOW
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAE8HBt64Fu7
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAiz1IrX2EPQ
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAlDSulzyMlJ
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAwd7lO9U3yD
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAx4utir5HtI
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!1060Please respect copyright.PENANArq4UzjvU01
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?1060Please respect copyright.PENANA23IpsXzCjj
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA1y30qmYTP3
RAINE
Sure… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAFJHiUJb3gQ
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.1060Please respect copyright.PENANAZ828HDt2WH
AJWAKU
Great!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAWT7meAzMWb
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAuYCh0G9mTR
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAA5ujCrAF9k
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAO2i8ekSA0T
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAL3HryiRlKm
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAdG3Ard511b
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAn17h7MI8Ye
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.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAyIf2EwIRkE
