Scene 1:
At Rise: JIRI is standing alone in the middle of the stage, with the curtains closed. School scene should be set up in the background. When she sits down the curtains open. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwljcfhhsV
JIRI
Jiri’s monologue part 1. Hiya, my is Jiri and I’m eleven years old. Sometimes I’m extremely happy, but other times I’m super sad, and I don’t really know why… It’s just how I am. I go to elementary school, even though I really don’t want to. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUaHzxheiT
I have a big brother, Ajwaku. He is the one that takes care of me. He’s always been super weird. He was born with purple eyes.
(She points to her eyes.)
And the like flippy part of his hair is like white, but the rest of it is like black.
(She tries to explain using hand motions.)
He could have dyed it over I guess, but he told me that if he dyed his hair he wouldn’t feel like himself anymore. I like that theory, so I accept it. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe7ggt26sv
Oh! I forgot to say how or parents are like NEVER HOME! They’re always on business trips, well I guess they’re not “business trips” because they travel around the world and stuff. When they come home they are super nice to me, but I don’t think they like AJ, my brother, very much. I don’t know why people don’t like him, so DON’T BE MEAN TO MY BROTHER!993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo2OYfZT9h
He’s had like one friends his whole life and that’s it. Until, his sophomore year in high school. Then he got this friend named Raine Kuro, and she’s the only person who might be weirder than he is. I DON’T LIKE HER! But, hey, that’s where my big brother’s story really starts, on the day they really met for the first time.
(She sits down on the edge of the stage.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTrt5C51QZ
RAINE
(RAINE enters on the staircase of her school. She is going up them. Near the middle she slips back.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohYF2MCySe
AJWAKU
(He enters from the side of the hallway. He notices RAINE falling down the stairs.)
Oh crap!
(He runs and manages to stop her fall, but he falls too. He stands up before she does, and holds his hand out for her.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumIPASdr9z
RAINE
(She doesn’t take his hand. She stands up on her own.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOjbTvSXrt
AJWAKU
(He scratches his head.)
Not so good at flying are you?993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIkAQmb4GP
RAINE
(She laughs awkwardly.)
No, definitely not my strong suit. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXHH0q65m
JIRI
(She throws her hands up.)
Oh! I forgot to mention that Raine is blind! Oops… So when she fell she probably wasn’t just being stupid. What I don’t get is that she never carries a walking stick or anything, like isn’t that what you're supposed you’re blind?
(She looks backwards.)
Oh, um… okay, back to the story… 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoOrNlNktB
AJWAKU
That’s okay, I’m Ajwaku. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaKku6YKuz
RAINE
Thanks for helping me… Kinda… Stairs are always a pain. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG8nzFsjVJ
AJWAKU
I… Uh… Your name is… 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9XRv4NxOD
RAINE
(She giggles.)
It’s Raine.
AJWAKU
Oh-993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpB4AtzCLZ
KABESE
(She cuts him off as she enters running and stomping.)
DON’T TOUCH HER!!!
(She punches him.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmXCQoy5mq
AJWAKU
(He holds his cheek.)
Ouchie. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6KqNgNQSs
KABESE
Tssk. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4IxpkvEI0
JIRI
(She points.)
That’s Kabese. If anyone in the whole wide world were to know Raine Kuro, it would probably be Kabese.
(She jumps up.)
She’s rude and tough! And was way too dense to notice any sort of social barrier between the blind teenager and herself. Under her angry exterior, she actually did care a lot about Raine. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExr4cswliX
KABESE
God, what do you think you’re doing, bonehead?!993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HApopUCW5
AJWAKU
I-I-I-993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOQRNObDCQ

(He enters with his hands in his pockets.)
Wow AJ, why do all the hot girls hit on you- literally?
(He laughs at his own joke.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZyrYLilaN
KABESE
I’d be happy to accommodate you too. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKKIyPtp4J
SUNAKU
(He winks.)
Anytime. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9zZxbwf1R
KABESE
Gross! Let’s get out of here Raine!
(She takes RAINE’S arm and helps her up the first few stairs.) 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHRFHfeleh
AJWAKU
(He stares down at his feet and mumbles.)
I could have helped her, you know? 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6encxQL6X8
KABESE
(She turns.)
Well, too bad you’ll never get the chance, lover boy!993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4azUgQOZkL
SUNAKU
(He rushes up the stairs to RAINE’S side.)
So, what class are you girls in anyways? First day of school and all, right? I’m in 2C.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYjlayQsja
KABESE
WHAT?! That’s what I’m in! Geez, you’re gonna be there. Now I really never wanna go to class!
(She lets go of RAINE, whom she had been dragging.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDNDdDJbYG
RAINE
(She screams.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb4y7SNJN8
AJWAKU
(He stops her before she falls.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOlVfYcAyx
RAINE
Ugh… thanks again Ajwaku. I’m actually the worst. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK9hL6pHp6
AJWAKU
(He blushes.)
T-T-That’s okay.
RAINE
So, are you in that class too?993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlBmXXeQVU
AJWAKU
Nah, I’m in 2A. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehdxBH5IhY
RAINE
Darn. I’ll be alone then. 2B. We could meet up for lunch, if you want to, Ajwaku. 993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHxiLaXXsX
KABESE
OH NO! I do not like these guys! I forbid it! Now come on! We’re going to class. Leave us alone, or you’ll wake up underwater and in half like the Titanic.
(She takes RAINE again, and they go up the stairs.)993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsywPu3hza

(She waves in no particular direction.)
Byee!
