Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oJvldSfe9
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! 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmm3jXY2oS
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! 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5riONFzC1W
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.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla5crkMhYE
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. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQGx9xXvA
RAINE
So, what happened?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mpQ7sJO7F
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhfZ908O6B
RAINE
Same. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBVEqHwVc
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!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIl1Gxnfn
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLIXo8rQWT
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGBFLVTtXo
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiSRpFHBvC
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw2QLwg9fP
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsepBS4ucM3
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!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3GCUuBqE7
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev805g2Y6p
RAINE
What are they talking about?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI0QOo2sdg
AJWAKU

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8fsK9t6KZ
AJWAKU
Raine?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG5c38iWOC
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xf2itgkQU
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCXQMItiiC
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJbfGzStmZ
RAINE
Uh, hi. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGEMrAQ8dw
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsmTroKfeA

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkqcIX2118
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44mtQYoyIM
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z1buLU2Cc
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetswCk2rvC
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5s8n4UT6T
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc74x6gUjy
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYPA3rq1NO
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeElaGckMX
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gNl4168oz
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!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzeHERbzcB
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIcFBc7mE9
SUNAKU
What?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSaerbMi47
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. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TuztXkMD7
RAINE
Who are you? 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBfGXvh0Dt
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbBvQyHUkf
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. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX1kIxkKY7
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0te89WRd4r
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVTVFTuKcY
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBWY8kXVH6
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmE3Pb0sOp
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7SoK0IjSd
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?!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXFoJazMZR
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK087oloX4q
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOdtnJmYdN
AJWAKU
Yeah…?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahxwxCwNjy
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUjW0voc7m
KABESE
Stop. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMaNBuy3EG
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCZznlES9X
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49cRTycvEp
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVFmdBCsHd
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1HvYbbNhj
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcPsFk560x
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaGG7vBWIe
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEnBB2k48A
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoZtydQJ6K
RAINE
Sure… 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHq977qsBY
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnreDdzWkv
AJWAKU
Great!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHiSbJdoYN
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcmYtpxT4E
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfMONkdRCF
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUcExHGSas
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡias41ZoMZD
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. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlututlrL2
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. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA5Aq3tDDa
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.)825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppgxTsQnTq
