Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAUrHVrTNlmy
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! 704Please respect copyright.PENANAylS7nFRNi2
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! 704Please respect copyright.PENANAnjZPWH0ahw
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.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAH13goVr5yg
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. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAQDdFDXqOmR
RAINE
So, what happened?704Please respect copyright.PENANAC3YXMXLxZk
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…704Please respect copyright.PENANA2UARl6Tfic
RAINE
Same. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAUnY5w3mrgz
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!704Please respect copyright.PENANApowHE7PipW
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAe1iGeWMlsy
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!704Please respect copyright.PENANAELyWzbbj3Z
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.704Please respect copyright.PENANAaPLcdqq4iE
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?704Please respect copyright.PENANAOAOaeDhSUE
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 704Please respect copyright.PENANA72MebqxoTZ
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!704Please respect copyright.PENANArbW0lPHeEz
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?704Please respect copyright.PENANA6WGCVvU3Lg
RAINE
What are they talking about?704Please respect copyright.PENANAVWdyltUmc7
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.704Please respect copyright.PENANAWgZUBWzt3j
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAjL49FZSAWW
AJWAKU
Raine?704Please respect copyright.PENANAGVt7sonX52
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAZXmvnmk0lc
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAeMDBIiXxmo
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 704Please respect copyright.PENANApUDTGa7dRP
RAINE
Uh, hi. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAgf1bSRRvnk
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?704Please respect copyright.PENANAX4PX6J8t4k

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 704Please respect copyright.PENANAAGPLbz5EYh
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.704Please respect copyright.PENANACyILavpm8o
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ6KRr4V8Y
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAuf2D9ca1oT
RAINE

REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAxLHj8uCkQI
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)704Please respect copyright.PENANA6iLACSBUsf
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?704Please respect copyright.PENANAGc3nGQ0vnQ
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)704Please respect copyright.PENANALmQlEpVtbb
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 704Please respect copyright.PENANA1DvvIQCeeY
AJWAKU
Yes! 704Please respect copyright.PENANAGZWyIP07c8
(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!704Please respect copyright.PENANAqWgS5MGYWu
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAg1GfRy5jSq
SUNAKU
What?704Please respect copyright.PENANA4Poewc27wp
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. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAlVVcLm1gFJ
RAINE
Who are you? 704Please respect copyright.PENANA6HY8dSyYHM
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 704Please respect copyright.PENANAzgGHB6X7Lp
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. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAq8XmGwOKu0
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?704Please respect copyright.PENANATySrgy7Ysv
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 704Please respect copyright.PENANA5ohm6QaTCn
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 704Please respect copyright.PENANA4AJeOT3rS8
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAK0fja1QH0H
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!704Please respect copyright.PENANA8dqaRQajMU
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?!704Please respect copyright.PENANAOK9TgSx2IA
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAIiWOq2vUC9
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?704Please respect copyright.PENANAT8Q6hgqY5P
AJWAKU
Yeah…?704Please respect copyright.PENANAMkMmaF87VV
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?704Please respect copyright.PENANAP3PqU28Xqf
KABESE
Stop. 704Please respect copyright.PENANALpgvFVHcC3
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAhi2Dq28rgx
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 704Please respect copyright.PENANA9rvf9SkXvz
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese.
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!704Please respect copyright.PENANAb63GNGwkm8
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 704Please respect copyright.PENANAb16DuTZ6rJ
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!704Please respect copyright.PENANAKPFJ0RqiqD
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?704Please respect copyright.PENANAylHReRIGWK
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 704Please respect copyright.PENANACSnz5ejN2g
RAINE
Sure… 704Please respect copyright.PENANAqK1Wku3FO2
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.704Please respect copyright.PENANAqG62WWPC41
AJWAKU
Great!704Please respect copyright.PENANAJBMvCApNz5
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!704Please respect copyright.PENANAh8OI6EyPby
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAzrZOuoh0cA
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 704Please respect copyright.PENANABEv9Z0Wpb7
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)704Please respect copyright.PENANAa4evVi316B
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. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAO97vh2GbiE
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. 704Please respect copyright.PENANAZnps69udqp
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.)
