Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjTrOoJHFy
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! 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn5KAKzlfj
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! 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHsKOT6XgV
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.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMP0aud8h
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. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjVbc26vz5
RAINE
So, what happened?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXAMXevRfH
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrXy3uiiAG
RAINE
Same. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBO33Owfeb
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!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT9pR4m8vm
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOHk6SI0gk
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPrP3jIqMm
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnBPZIerG4
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIAdGqOYOC
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81MjKi1mUm
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!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NRxjzzqwU
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQm8FPcOuI
RAINE

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBWJxhhmA7
AJWAKU
Raine?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIqf9dXWM6
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MDVVK4btk
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9UaAxRMoX
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTRW1HBCTA
RAINE
Uh, hi. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaemXgCjYXj

RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Z42oBF8p
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s0Y5d7k9L
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI78kWiBKK
REISHI
Oh,

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr82IkuvASp
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFTkYhPan2
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iTlfcvola
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTISN182U0
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy8MsXyXgd
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!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7RbegY44r
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAlCUzxcIC
SUNAKU
What?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gqeFvxPvb
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. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibi98zQCT
RAINE
Who are you? 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlpHXP5CA4
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaFgyLYa3c
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. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv57P3sDhUv
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd0lKdPPOm
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzfL4tFEHe
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KX4w84QtL
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVmXGilYux
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJCSQPkutA
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?!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzyIASWggh
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmckxmFlGLQ
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtCYNj5yUs
AJWAKU
Yeah…?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6AfFZODaq
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgir7zv22yT
KABESE
Stop. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbggymlk2Al
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV7Emv5qeM
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0N2Y3KAsd
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIp3xWetc
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Y0ZNlkLR
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4WCjgzEun
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAUZYAwyTc
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYWr5lPmjb
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNLM1OVKP9
RAINE
Sure… 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ4oXDjrWf
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3eRf7k34g
AJWAKU
Great!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMyai6EkqE
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65eJAayMt0
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tU0U5RDq3
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YDa7foUfn
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRfTYf8KGF
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. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHRAXJpDw
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. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZZbBDeTQY
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.)876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvN4YSLYpb
