Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAc6vbBaI6ls
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! 760Please respect copyright.PENANA3bM6duRNRU
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! 760Please respect copyright.PENANAPqUBE3CZYv
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.)760Please respect copyright.PENANAIKjfWV4TZP
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. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAjKh6H4sC3e
RAINE
So, what happened?760Please respect copyright.PENANACuLoL1Ag45
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…760Please respect copyright.PENANA6zK0hQ2Gv6
RAINE
Same. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAc05Q6Ynnv3
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!760Please respect copyright.PENANACnd7LQVqIB
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAcSPLFAR9dL
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!760Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2SKqNXesT
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.760Please respect copyright.PENANAPGWPr86kln
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?760Please respect copyright.PENANAgNd1FqtNla
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 760Please respect copyright.PENANANqczjRZfKP
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!760Please respect copyright.PENANA2NGqgk6STN
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?760Please respect copyright.PENANAW8Ex70rHFM
RAINE
What are they talking about?760Please respect copyright.PENANAnePHKCE7rI
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.760Please respect copyright.PENANAvBOEPBkVcS
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)760Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Nfp8xjpD
AJWAKU
Raine?760Please respect copyright.PENANAFganpvP7e1
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)760Please respect copyright.PENANAW2HWr0WY0o
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)760Please respect copyright.PENANAG30WaGiL3t
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAO5NVNLQsTy
RAINE
Uh, hi. 760Please respect copyright.PENANA0rmAIDXpfU

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 760Please respect copyright.PENANAX5kS7foilG
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.760Please respect copyright.PENANAZNzL3XoieB

REISHI

(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)760Please respect copyright.PENANACZlV44PNTT
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)760Please respect copyright.PENANA2xjwBGF5yE
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?760Please respect copyright.PENANAJ87YuOLedH
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)760Please respect copyright.PENANAlVlQpQaSmw
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ID0uHjRj
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!760Please respect copyright.PENANADjZ47p55Hu
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)760Please respect copyright.PENANABRqhJkilO8
SUNAKU
What?760Please respect copyright.PENANAaVxzRjSUwo
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. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAN1TGvE8Adl
RAINE
Who are you? 760Please respect copyright.PENANAInkC5zwVNm
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 760Please respect copyright.PENANAj6FR6Zgeem
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. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAYaKinqB7oh
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?760Please respect copyright.PENANAIoAct3Tktu
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAUttb6yY4Am
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 760Please respect copyright.PENANA5NdXNTCmZV
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)760Please respect copyright.PENANAv6xTI61Wp6
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!760Please respect copyright.PENANALRcBClLkBW
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?!760Please respect copyright.PENANAZQjmSSS2Mr
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.760Please respect copyright.PENANAm4FMBp8650
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?760Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4rJoWXBJn
AJWAKU
Yeah…?760Please respect copyright.PENANACjsYaOJKCU
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?760Please respect copyright.PENANAd1tw4VDfNa
KABESE
Stop. 760Please respect copyright.PENANA6RvweelpOM
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAt98lrP5UAy
RAINE

AJWAKU

KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!760Please respect copyright.PENANAhni1PrbY8r
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 760Please respect copyright.PENANA4nQdb7vSp5
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!760Please respect copyright.PENANAXxkJ5cA5Ny
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?760Please respect copyright.PENANAAaqtpJ1CAl
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAF61aerUGji
RAINE

MR. AARON

AJWAKU
Great!760Please respect copyright.PENANAPmCAv0yJ5C
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!760Please respect copyright.PENANAj9bOmZADeP
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAseKmZPPfL4
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 760Please respect copyright.PENANATCIGb82I1O
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)760Please respect copyright.PENANA9BYhVURQRe
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. 760Please respect copyright.PENANAjsJ239lBO3
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. 760Please respect copyright.PENANARe2kpgUMwq
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.)760Please respect copyright.PENANAewloIydrNq
