Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAOFNOmB8KFX
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! 563Please respect copyright.PENANASgUAeyjQgt
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! 563Please respect copyright.PENANAKhZnluCsi3
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.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAvpht13eabw
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. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAriglcjv2mB
RAINE
So, what happened?563Please respect copyright.PENANAqjTYfTrXdN
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…563Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4sdtcNbGG
RAINE
Same. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAqPhQGx4Onh
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!563Please respect copyright.PENANAyN1ny72HXo
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAfmMKklT8BT
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!563Please respect copyright.PENANADdlti4AKn9
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.563Please respect copyright.PENANAIwDNcGDcAr
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?563Please respect copyright.PENANA2GCYDGQ8L5
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAl76t69AjiU
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!563Please respect copyright.PENANAW37eYb5Tb1
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?563Please respect copyright.PENANAQNhcGrLtH6
RAINE
What are they talking about?563Please respect copyright.PENANAMHekEORB0x
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.563Please respect copyright.PENANAzCyRgJ410j
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAXBffpGJ34G
AJWAKU
Raine?563Please respect copyright.PENANAAln2yYcVlG
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAUpdfYs77D7
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAHCAHWZ2ME1
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAhd7Z2NrMMP
RAINE
Uh, hi. 563Please respect copyright.PENANA9WiuktBRzN
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?563Please respect copyright.PENANAutAEqSRsNL

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 563Please respect copyright.PENANABXT68aSdap
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.563Please respect copyright.PENANAdDOzjdT7f9
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAI3FfBwpbkc

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 563Please respect copyright.PENANArCZhStsYL7
RAINE

REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAzBeMZ4SgQp
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAb41ipo2KQA
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?563Please respect copyright.PENANAgn6KCz5vYT
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)563Please respect copyright.PENANADaXfNjeAJE
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAHHO23Bmukx
AJWAKU
Yes! 563Please respect copyright.PENANAzhOp3RjwHO
(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!563Please respect copyright.PENANAsHWmrxl3LD
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAV4yjTY9LFo
SUNAKU
What?563Please respect copyright.PENANAiuvZEV4jEf
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. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAcmMKmClF2t
RAINE
Who are you? 563Please respect copyright.PENANAgfUJgcaeg5
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 563Please respect copyright.PENANA2VWlkbcIj2
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. 563Please respect copyright.PENANA1apwi5SUcK
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?563Please respect copyright.PENANAbg5wBpf4n8
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 563Please respect copyright.PENANADUakhDDpuB
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 563Please respect copyright.PENANAj46eESZcAH
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAsIQEo1XyEJ
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!563Please respect copyright.PENANAtOwYQw9NM9
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?!563Please respect copyright.PENANAzghJXnhbbx
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAQD5pO2gfMA
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?563Please respect copyright.PENANA29t0CxUfNK
AJWAKU
Yeah…?563Please respect copyright.PENANAuTjdKmfqTo
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?563Please respect copyright.PENANAlX9J6LRE8E
KABESE
Stop. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAy6bxnpIgBC
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAUOTmxJtVTT
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 563Please respect copyright.PENANAIVOXZ21Jnm
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese.
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!563Please respect copyright.PENANARICAMA2kSl
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 563Please respect copyright.PENANAfPELa1v4gr
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!563Please respect copyright.PENANAbFz8tfqqIe
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?563Please respect copyright.PENANAvCJkb6fIeV
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 563Please respect copyright.PENANACYLULP94z7
RAINE
Sure… 563Please respect copyright.PENANAAqZU0NktRK
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.563Please respect copyright.PENANAETNAxnM4Oq
AJWAKU
Great!563Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Hbuqn8XR
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!563Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Z1IW6FoI
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 563Please respect copyright.PENANASGdB6RzNk5
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 563Please respect copyright.PENANASXJE7QiAlQ
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)563Please respect copyright.PENANAOKSbwVNQip
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. 563Please respect copyright.PENANAauLHP39FkH
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. 563Please respect copyright.PENANARsPyqFbxAz
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.)
