Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAldi5H5azkr
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! 550Please respect copyright.PENANAdOpbKzfwnS
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! 550Please respect copyright.PENANAuCw8zB49MG
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.)550Please respect copyright.PENANA30npxwWK6J
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. 550Please respect copyright.PENANATDBnZQd05f
RAINE
So, what happened?550Please respect copyright.PENANAXRGleisZ1l
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…550Please respect copyright.PENANAdEnFHxMB8I
RAINE
Same. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAExfj69Td16
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!550Please respect copyright.PENANAhOSLE1fiuE
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAmNHoq9VaiQ
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!550Please respect copyright.PENANAo9Tc5J41qC
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.550Please respect copyright.PENANAfiUnRyiav3
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?550Please respect copyright.PENANAkYkONMyQpd
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 550Please respect copyright.PENANApLke6eGQ0s
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!550Please respect copyright.PENANAbL0snQ8yCe
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?550Please respect copyright.PENANAUJARlC0Eg0
RAINE
What are they talking about?550Please respect copyright.PENANA3xa4ObogAD
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.550Please respect copyright.PENANAEysc7I4Mtb
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)550Please respect copyright.PENANA1F9zRsnJuI
AJWAKU
Raine?550Please respect copyright.PENANAQcoR1oLfww
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)550Please respect copyright.PENANAqDPViV92If
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)550Please respect copyright.PENANA9PbPRknKYk
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAihflgvALSk
RAINE
Uh, hi. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAVwqFGRilTE
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?550Please respect copyright.PENANAaV6ZmH07Vd

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 550Please respect copyright.PENANAkao5V4hlcp
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.550Please respect copyright.PENANAprhFyyjl6A
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 550Please respect copyright.PENANA6C21qlaa1O

REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)550Please respect copyright.PENANATlLQP226Nr
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)550Please respect copyright.PENANAj87MzzoRKw
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?550Please respect copyright.PENANADRdZerZPSP
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)550Please respect copyright.PENANAkaJQqmVFBa
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAUyuAsq1YKX
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!550Please respect copyright.PENANAWGnEqQLnzr
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)550Please respect copyright.PENANAxJiynYjXNZ
SUNAKU
What?550Please respect copyright.PENANAyAKOHgusXw
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. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAbxxLWSXg6u
RAINE
Who are you? 550Please respect copyright.PENANAOpQXCBCcBd
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 550Please respect copyright.PENANA2fC24lX0o7
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. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAWfSZ3xLSYJ
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?550Please respect copyright.PENANAZLG4RiqSwe
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAxV3C9GqUoi
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 550Please respect copyright.PENANAgeuTKVaa5O
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)550Please respect copyright.PENANAEAy14cj52c
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!550Please respect copyright.PENANAEaIhNxKtQ3
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?!550Please respect copyright.PENANAB5LeveNn3T
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.550Please respect copyright.PENANA5jiC4ysaFK
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?550Please respect copyright.PENANAEYGpEcC0WO
AJWAKU
Yeah…?550Please respect copyright.PENANAKyMT0eRDbN
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?550Please respect copyright.PENANAmOSs62eU4T
KABESE
Stop. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAIxl0YTECv0
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAS2D97cZAdG
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 550Please respect copyright.PENANAwR8Fmjgi9m
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAh2K4KlFSEl
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!550Please respect copyright.PENANApK7YAadYxu
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 550Please respect copyright.PENANATZr6sIiW0D
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!550Please respect copyright.PENANAOE5TAAt8fp
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?550Please respect copyright.PENANAOEUvYMDFeN
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 550Please respect copyright.PENANATwmj5S0XnC
RAINE

MR. AARON

AJWAKU
Great!550Please respect copyright.PENANAX4MLorTCFO
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!550Please respect copyright.PENANA9kJQy8qHkt
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAAZKEM2RG3v
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 550Please respect copyright.PENANAXHxLDGdPTw
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)550Please respect copyright.PENANAWSi9NbJSqw
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. 550Please respect copyright.PENANAhC6JoGmbte
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. 550Please respect copyright.PENANA1sLnQxzBaw
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.)550Please respect copyright.PENANAUw5VHY6Mag
