Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAzij29VfKCI
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! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAZDC7TfOSUQ
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! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAl3xL8Sohee
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.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAaVMNW6u71B
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAMnLVexnwmG
RAINE
So, what happened?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAMKjzE2URDO
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…1030Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8zawuUUJz
RAINE
Same. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAn2gYUyfbiv
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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAe68mXp9YGK
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAOg49kB15Oi
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAtUoghDwEDr
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.1030Please respect copyright.PENANAXfZualqcjH
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAMxtIbd5pzo
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANATn5wqTMzWS
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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAnAXTcMSg2y

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAsK40uSYHXH
AJWAKU
Raine?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAVNu7vUmBHs
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAfpDLcV0d5z
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANA9usCMdlBKp
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAhyQ5pN4bPQ
RAINE
Uh, hi. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAo0S7jJqxmn

(She exits.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAhZY04PGJYW
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAhAiyxEhOLJ
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAa7W6YcdC6B
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAcf6HrXuuyw
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAWtd5icaZRg
AJWAKU
Yes! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAIyuS2D0jlT
(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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAQmGNhXxtPl
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAmPEXijgOpo
SUNAKU
What?1030Please respect copyright.PENANANf9ZyNSb2a
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAT6s3SNyJ0v
RAINE
Who are you? 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAF3fsdFtQ8J
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAD57UGUb2lc
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAE32eiso9IN
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAD8WllezxNX
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAjueBXZT14F
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAv1a7HVyJog
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAbICAYCpcjU
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAkxwWZWi0py
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?!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAzaaCBFtL3j
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANA0qzoR0VNYF
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAUmz8nXF8kz
AJWAKU
Yeah…?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAw7SwVL5W3U
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAmNWpdkQz9o
KABESE
Stop. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANABjcvqeOgXm
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANANGDqCQI2SQ
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAzEw79KBCF4
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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANASVp3Yl6GmQ
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAuu5jDJeXMU
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAYeAkqPbLTw
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAkWI0DlzlYk
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANANXz6r6ZDQr
RAINE
Sure… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAR408cslYy1
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.1030Please respect copyright.PENANAZdw1AE6NH7
AJWAKU
Great!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAI2byf5M4ea
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!1030Please respect copyright.PENANA3jwMjbx2OB
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANATfe4Q1xES7
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANApTPXIwuVyI
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANA7cxBCXMkMq
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAuGIoycPXXd
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAEppQRG16ao
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.)
