Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANA99wvLP0hBO
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! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAkNH0gvzKLu
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! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAznIqACcNyo
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.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANA9RneJYk7o9
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANATwtIZLwCUz
RAINE
So, what happened?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAm0CrypQpyJ
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…1030Please respect copyright.PENANALm913hdZoM
RAINE
Same. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAwjFRJBOBaC
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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mt9fhsGIB
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAAJCBpZ4HH1
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!1030Please respect copyright.PENANA21SgEhDx5J
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.1030Please respect copyright.PENANAFDU4bvMhNA
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAXeU2FfxgGY
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAtlLuqw0LXG
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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANApYIYMLlztx
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAEEHfjy8jMG
RAINE

AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.1030Please respect copyright.PENANArX0AE6edGE
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4a3UbtzMR
AJWAKU
Raine?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAxJNAAJjM37
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAnBGc4CPNF9
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAkGEAnBgSaz
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAcb3MzyWr08
RAINE
Uh, hi. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAL5MOmMm8z1

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAb0rxBrxHgf
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.1030Please respect copyright.PENANAY9eE3XaUGr

RAINE

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAsYhdSB4SoU
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAE2Dlrk2HzZ
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAydyJJ61bvD
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANA40yglWcHeE
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAXhSNaxP0BW
AJWAKU
Yes! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANARMyKjllMLV
(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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAWsx8FuAzbz
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAntz1I6c9kR
SUNAKU
What?1030Please respect copyright.PENANA6C4Jk5SLjH
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANA3v7DQvMzAa
RAINE
Who are you? 1030Please respect copyright.PENANATADfvqIsxA
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANA4PbVMwmiPw
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAdlsAS3TsSe
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAeZr9BjFehR
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAuQiceXZKc6
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAHiXAr8rfwn
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAKECSAPmoxi
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAxFQrK5LGqj
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?!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAm6oxuCjKZJ
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAYVmG2t4y3j
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAjpCQerpgDo
AJWAKU
Yeah…?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAuSlCIwzz0h
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAEZs99h1ukD
KABESE
Stop. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANA24HoKKA8jW
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAAJhRH2QxXq
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAaubW3jCyYw
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!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAuGwIL79PL8
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAaK4Ud7exKG
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Xfc7AOaE
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAr4X1aXDIQC
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAfA2if7484c
RAINE
Sure… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAVZELiQKCkj
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.1030Please respect copyright.PENANA7JAWEdzSps
AJWAKU
Great!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAYhxSPKF32l
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAb8swR2xyQZ
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAihgGNcHDva
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAclvFORDIfE
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAvfJyxZ2tXl
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAQpmbTvC7eG
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. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAkLiIHrpoS8
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.)
