Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5a9ODqWz6
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! 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3KCNJzKZ
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! 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkgdeEC4mn
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.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LGTSock9m
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. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA8J8SALj2
RAINE
So, what happened?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2HYE21SfP
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUvIhe94dB
RAINE
Same. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb185x50nd
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!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqX8Aniv26
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz76XVWPs2z
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmJFY7qYQe
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRJqSsmFOC
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC6fvdlTyx
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC7a4kIyor
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!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGrynphydl

AJWAKU
Raine?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b79yBb1re
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9imWBvkA2
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eMzHPAlj8
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjawe9QoZR
RAINE
Uh, hi. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avSPMbTRZ

Yes, that’s right.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYngyEtRy3o

Well, I caused this storm you see. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrE66S36Dq

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRjYnPLVUJ
RAINE

REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWg1J5ivM9
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhePsuKJaem
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSXNehdjWL
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdGzAEByGO
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx5ZwVEvh9
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!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW41frqtZCD
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGR57BdZJY
SUNAKU
What?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48bK4pLnQY
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. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICEYbImZIH
RAINE
Who are you? 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJew6cbD0f
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeCY1SCmEc
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. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6hyze1QWH
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpwC7VxcCE
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDfhKyUpI6
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY58V23Mu7G
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQz8wwsgCU
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SYdhDTj3M
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?!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoymqs5Oqr
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW8OCkJGXb
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfs1VDu61u
AJWAKU
Yeah…?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWarYDfsYj0
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Kxdq85AX
KABESE
Stop. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Np7CzkM64
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rwEaTxJ8N
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O61wHiG3m
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AajotwLPP
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqQhQovE3b
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnudOrB6G18
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom25RRHRXV
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7t5giHlOd
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGel1I09tVW
RAINE
Sure… 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h240ttsOc
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhyBGuNmJ5
AJWAKU
Great!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33QXf0ahpx
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWTPfoJAMG
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3GorCwD03
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZWJyw1tSK
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7OssKEw7x
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. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKedoS1UXJ
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. 871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc1yuIg3d3
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.)871Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KfU7NBJL
