Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAUpLnojWIVD
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! 557Please respect copyright.PENANAyBVZzwkMP2
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! 557Please respect copyright.PENANArh9lFEtASK
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.)557Please respect copyright.PENANASI0MHJ9FiC
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. 557Please respect copyright.PENANA4bqTskGu9m
RAINE
So, what happened?557Please respect copyright.PENANABfo4ytDDrC
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…557Please respect copyright.PENANASH2XL7h6ze
RAINE
Same. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAh4a5IbvMkS
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!557Please respect copyright.PENANAp1S08xcP0c
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAc9AooyhBlB
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!557Please respect copyright.PENANANkSBV8rDMX
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.557Please respect copyright.PENANAuK6Qqgk08X
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?557Please respect copyright.PENANAxC4AFcuvX5
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 557Please respect copyright.PENANA35ADe0dnpi
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!557Please respect copyright.PENANAXgwUVQV61W
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?557Please respect copyright.PENANAsSMUi7ck1w
RAINE
What are they talking about?557Please respect copyright.PENANAt7gpCRxdcm
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.557Please respect copyright.PENANAJhvvZa3BB8
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)557Please respect copyright.PENANAHWNeBojxA8
AJWAKU
Raine?557Please respect copyright.PENANA4JJu7CvCJc
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)557Please respect copyright.PENANA9lAaS5EoYr
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)557Please respect copyright.PENANAWdOAoF1ZbR
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAF3Be1Yz35X
RAINE
Uh, hi. 557Please respect copyright.PENANALMqGahNP7w

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 557Please respect copyright.PENANA39ZdJdoVA7
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.557Please respect copyright.PENANAM3EoebPc8U

Well, I caused this storm you see. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAiLcurHyoZ4

REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)557Please respect copyright.PENANAuEdwmzJ2zr
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)557Please respect copyright.PENANADjXnmuQ20c
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?557Please respect copyright.PENANAihSYM5caHm
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)557Please respect copyright.PENANAGgmjPLX8Kj
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAEjw9EudxOf
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!557Please respect copyright.PENANAjj2GiWYBSH
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)557Please respect copyright.PENANA2lpK5GPMyE
SUNAKU
What?557Please respect copyright.PENANAjXJycBc7k8
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. 557Please respect copyright.PENANA50NPEa9cER
RAINE
Who are you? 557Please respect copyright.PENANAW0iNt2h4d6
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 557Please respect copyright.PENANAgxwXD2hjyG
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. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAXdkf2qmYd0
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?557Please respect copyright.PENANAPAbyI5vQEu
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAqWCFW5OfMX
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 557Please respect copyright.PENANAmHfPsGSVCk
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)557Please respect copyright.PENANAkN26vAOBVM
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!557Please respect copyright.PENANAQU1OL9mD5k
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?!557Please respect copyright.PENANAvZIofEk99S
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.557Please respect copyright.PENANAAJmOCBWz5H
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?557Please respect copyright.PENANAXUREUfqZ61
AJWAKU
Yeah…?557Please respect copyright.PENANAoAxhdqt2O7
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?557Please respect copyright.PENANA03g5hzQviu
KABESE
Stop. 557Please respect copyright.PENANA2iMPQ6U4Hu
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAMKHwR3Qeqj
RAINE

AJWAKU

KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!557Please respect copyright.PENANAeaBymADZxq
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 557Please respect copyright.PENANAzqMuP7tCa4
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!557Please respect copyright.PENANABaCTNfs7eK
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?557Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ngAOLPO0
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAmV2SCmLX98
RAINE

MR. AARON

AJWAKU
Great!557Please respect copyright.PENANA8u7OBCgYY1
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!557Please respect copyright.PENANAlbv9BmZ4aI
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAIClRy0S78O
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 557Please respect copyright.PENANAzrU4KFawFb
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)557Please respect copyright.PENANAB89r1wPEYW
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. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAvSCJfcjSw0
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. 557Please respect copyright.PENANAV3ySmj0N3o
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.)557Please respect copyright.PENANAhjbB431Vet
