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. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccPxsgQTKA
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. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzVfdE7835
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. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrcDO1Fe5m
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!649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvaD56eNRK
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.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA8kECBk5o
RAINE
(RAINE enters on the staircase of her school. She is going up them. Near the middle she slips back.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4yTPUzsm5
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.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJObZ5KB7a
RAINE
(She doesn’t take his hand. She stands up on her own.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHsaJIdYNs
AJWAKU
(He scratches his head.)
Not so good at flying are you?649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ3GGipXzO
RAINE
(She laughs awkwardly.)
No, definitely not my strong suit. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbhMqC79pr
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… 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2FR4jPkO
AJWAKU
That’s okay, I’m Ajwaku. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zceZLVhW9
RAINE
Thanks for helping me… Kinda… Stairs are always a pain. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIz9kqMfUt
AJWAKU
I… Uh… Your name is… 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjRI90ebHP
RAINE
(She giggles.)
It’s Raine.
AJWAKU
Oh-649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbC6ITfYC4
KABESE
(She cuts him off as she enters running and stomping.)
DON’T TOUCH HER!!!
(She punches him.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURu4QZOjcG
AJWAKU
(He holds his cheek.)
Ouchie. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1yxaeUqr9
KABESE
Tssk. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwsP59Q6NV
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. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLksu1RJnb3
KABESE
God, what do you think you’re doing, bonehead?!649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcThgjfPr4
AJWAKU
I-I-I-649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQskfwIdbTO
SUNAKU
(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.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6GknQHMdD
KABESE
I’d be happy to accommodate you too. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTeUEiCixi
SUNAKU
(He winks.)
Anytime. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqThHHPESH
KABESE
Gross! Let’s get out of here Raine!
(She takes RAINE’S arm and helps her up the first few stairs.) 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17zWi9NFYS
AJWAKU
(He stares down at his feet and mumbles.)
I could have helped her, you know? 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Rx62FqQl
KABESE
(She turns.)
Well, too bad you’ll never get the chance, lover boy!649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y9GeDw52G
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.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqkpj03EbA
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.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzVaD2D6J0
RAINE
(She screams.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCxaoztRHd
AJWAKU
(He stops her before she falls.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERKc8WkdX2
RAINE
Ugh… thanks again Ajwaku. I’m actually the worst. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDJI40bssd
AJWAKU
(He blushes.)
T-T-That’s okay.
RAINE
So, are you in that class too?649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s0jB4rrR3
AJWAKU
Nah, I’m in 2A. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpDN0onrNi
RAINE
Darn. I’ll be alone then. 2B. We could meet up for lunch, if you want to, Ajwaku. 649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFOY1Nd340
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.)649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFh0MceZZ9
RAINE
(She waves in no particular direction.)
Byee!
(Everyone exits.)
