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.PENANAqVbnQs1aJB
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.PENANACGkkhsEjLu
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.PENANACLSFkdVDae
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.PENANA0vwzOrFSRi
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.PENANAtzzgAS2E9Z
RAINE
So, what happened?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAZzjRiKMslv
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…1030Please respect copyright.PENANAece6gqb15r
RAINE
Same. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAnerrblC60R
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.PENANAoRbL9xR7l8
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAI22n3kQiAP
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAOBatAwDcWM
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.1030Please respect copyright.PENANAbHJAAfj1dh
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAMXN4cCuQ8c
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAiHvYbjAWxZ
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.PENANAd3mpjngTFR
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAsNH0nTMvdo
RAINE

AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.1030Please respect copyright.PENANAp2hzYMCVme
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANANDcRiZ4hGH
AJWAKU
Raine?1030Please respect copyright.PENANALacA53SRoe
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZpNvX03Hg
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAlVltX6toF0
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAbuJOyUaYIm
RAINE
Uh, hi. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAtaezAYbbwt
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU

Yes, that’s right.1030Please respect copyright.PENANAe9y4D8FU6u
REISHI

RAINE

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAFh8FOl2ZzF
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAGRORxemgRb
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAVPUiIHXsCl
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.PENANAuiy0Gr7QRW
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAx3dti0K2GV
AJWAKU
Yes! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANA1Kv6m2n3Sz
(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.PENANADKc4MA0kdG
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.PENANAvghPNrxwFF
SUNAKU
What?1030Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y2wxMf45J
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.PENANAtiJ92gVaEh
RAINE
Who are you? 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAeaw64JE1A9
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAiVIOHuc2mh
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.PENANA2qoafqo8Ep
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?1030Please respect copyright.PENANA6OOzQarvdn
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAtU9Sohk1jZ
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAHH2tWNAJsY
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAYy1hU2hNuK
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!1030Please respect copyright.PENANATsc6MIwe4g
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.PENANAonCbQaKJUf
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAYCpReCktwL
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAU4svYLs88u
AJWAKU
Yeah…?1030Please respect copyright.PENANAL6V2FQJyxE
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?1030Please respect copyright.PENANApzSyZtfIXJ
KABESE
Stop. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAuv3O4QAf6k
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAp12kMJaoyR
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 1030Please respect copyright.PENANA0J6S09RBhT
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.PENANAuZ6dfzpqZm
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.PENANAKd8a7vFJFc
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAZRLXnNviI8
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?1030Please respect copyright.PENANA7AP2sppv7S
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAAvvHOi5p9D
RAINE
Sure… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAlLzNtSCYMV
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.1030Please respect copyright.PENANATr3ro4FbCB
AJWAKU
Great!1030Please respect copyright.PENANA8xhkLFkw43
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!1030Please respect copyright.PENANAR1lzthJ41l
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAm9EHmiv4xt
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 1030Please respect copyright.PENANAJ716HcqQxV
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)1030Please respect copyright.PENANAZzfuPwslGB
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.PENANAOHP9J7ANhF
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.PENANA4yVb7tk5qK
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.)
