Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAgwBVuOLhs2
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! 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAnFIV3fBRvc
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! 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Rb7nOH7c
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.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAhvPBPpnMIR
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAbnAtVNZvVc
RAINE
So, what happened?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAjUKJSdnap9
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…1060Please respect copyright.PENANATOGNhZBL0Z
RAINE
Same. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAHoIfYoLIdX
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!1060Please respect copyright.PENANA7pATdPwHbN
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAwk8LdOmKJd
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAGG5l36ata5
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.1060Please respect copyright.PENANAtWMF3hnD1B
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAeO2V7ac5bl
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAHfNtGNNx4o
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!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAD7CcQUQsfS
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAdzWCh3c4Lq
RAINE
What are they talking about?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAGyXd1CPFn7
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.1060Please respect copyright.PENANAW4yhtbhHrI
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAtHZTwMJD0x
AJWAKU
Raine?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAvPmctBFRoN
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAkAX6TtR1cL
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAiFYAMWfysq
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANANlWdC35W3b
RAINE
Uh, hi. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA2pdBGJ1fCB

RAINE

REISHI
Oh,

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAtUZwys2gND
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAEuJ70XSlts
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAssZM6yV2yO
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANACZ5ViNuPtr
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZOFMoRHOH
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!1060Please respect copyright.PENANA6OqYDvoIVt
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAWEy9fbU5ky
SUNAKU
What?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAFDC2X4MNag
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAUaRXoi1KQq
RAINE
Who are you? 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAcbLCpyc0sO
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA2950vzTkPK
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAW8uz6ldki2
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAMApt9C3w5k
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAi2zYtzjDKs
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANANJGnqSEAPq
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANAWbKOL091bI
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAYNONII5h4j
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?!1060Please respect copyright.PENANA2CML9TZQc6
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.1060Please respect copyright.PENANAgtMOS19wkw
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3UdvKAhDt
AJWAKU
Yeah…?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAm4CYuUQEDk
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?1060Please respect copyright.PENANAKufW0m9WLd
KABESE
Stop. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAPu8BScstoM
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAUkLBoCanp2
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cp2GJvrMH
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAmOZnf6whai
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAhtGZc8xwbI
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAYdbIDbF2hl
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAzg9O7az9Gu
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?1060Please respect copyright.PENANArz4J5PunWp
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAee9KqZW3VR
RAINE
Sure… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cz5EkADJS
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.1060Please respect copyright.PENANAJzB9lt9lBK
AJWAKU
Great!1060Please respect copyright.PENANAqmhR0d6MLL
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!1060Please respect copyright.PENANA3INJm7aiBF
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAUilMI782rT
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAiGlOBv0szX
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANALAkw9G0dsQ
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANALKbjj1Uwlq
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. 1060Please respect copyright.PENANAFyoc8TZj68
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.)1060Please respect copyright.PENANA1tVBV9i6TH
