Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAq9pYPDABdN
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! 716Please respect copyright.PENANAa8HfseOW7s
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! 716Please respect copyright.PENANAv2HmtLUVIQ
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.)716Please respect copyright.PENANALEFhf9mvWM
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. 716Please respect copyright.PENANArWsLgd1e32
RAINE
So, what happened?716Please respect copyright.PENANAPpRLZmsAsf
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…716Please respect copyright.PENANAYANpnjtSZE
RAINE
Same. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAfzM1RJ65TL
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!716Please respect copyright.PENANAX0xOJyxJj6
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9SseEkacj
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!716Please respect copyright.PENANAxQLKkg1fSc
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.716Please respect copyright.PENANAAbOqsgWOEY
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?716Please respect copyright.PENANAIh8YKPe48A
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAik6cP5mMV5
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!716Please respect copyright.PENANAOvoSFQ7YAK
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?716Please respect copyright.PENANAJYaaIHwGrM
RAINE
What are they talking about?716Please respect copyright.PENANAFaVcyJQDWI
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.716Please respect copyright.PENANAF5aGHrkgDk
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)716Please respect copyright.PENANA9TDaclLtlg
AJWAKU
Raine?716Please respect copyright.PENANAx3b13bJujj
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)716Please respect copyright.PENANA8WH6MGaiub
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)716Please respect copyright.PENANA4hOgPYxEMB
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAIkfLUbyfZi
RAINE
Uh, hi. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAazaK9I37cu

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.716Please respect copyright.PENANACzXC9NK28R

REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)716Please respect copyright.PENANAJvpAAh2D9z
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)716Please respect copyright.PENANA1aHs5kopib
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?716Please respect copyright.PENANAGo7nj2A9er
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)716Please respect copyright.PENANA2W9q44AW1r
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAFcLiUPIomN
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!716Please respect copyright.PENANAVxQVcVYuuu
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)716Please respect copyright.PENANAwRtJ1FE8gN
SUNAKU
What?716Please respect copyright.PENANA1n93RCEGRX
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. 716Please respect copyright.PENANABHcvqwaJlf
RAINE
Who are you? 716Please respect copyright.PENANAVOqELPEErD
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 716Please respect copyright.PENANAkUtDesjIjl
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. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAcgEJ8TPflj
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?716Please respect copyright.PENANAvs7DS5FfFA
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAeikGjhlrB5
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 716Please respect copyright.PENANAbMWGCKiDFs
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)716Please respect copyright.PENANAIxEWTJaAjV
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!716Please respect copyright.PENANAX7RI0PXyyx
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?!716Please respect copyright.PENANACV1lMNrWnA
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.716Please respect copyright.PENANANOtMAViH9e
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?716Please respect copyright.PENANAVP7zcB7wZC
AJWAKU
Yeah…?716Please respect copyright.PENANAzYcgfdlIhP
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?716Please respect copyright.PENANALBwcCHxwwm
KABESE
Stop. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAADRkQ6ReDw
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 716Please respect copyright.PENANASUiGpfu9DP
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 716Please respect copyright.PENANAD6N8BSGzfw
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAEeyc7AIPb4
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!716Please respect copyright.PENANAX2ZkSBBNwc
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 716Please respect copyright.PENANATIwHoNgr9D
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!716Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ktqv4goME
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?716Please respect copyright.PENANApuL96WXqgl
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAYl7fliZkx0
RAINE

MR. AARON

AJWAKU
Great!716Please respect copyright.PENANAan0mSszNVG
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!716Please respect copyright.PENANAfQTcE33Ecr
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAIYEqX9u8PJ
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 716Please respect copyright.PENANA0jxkrxIcvh
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)716Please respect copyright.PENANAcgOxvS1zLM
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. 716Please respect copyright.PENANApvCZNuo1Mf
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. 716Please respect copyright.PENANAdeioFKpWsB
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.)716Please respect copyright.PENANAlpSjglAonD
