Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxhXHe8ihe
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! 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjZ57gnPkW
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! 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFME8f3zIr
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.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ597GiB4Fdb
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fceGuxA9
RAINE
So, what happened?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjUYiscJG2
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLt3USUkCh
RAINE
Same. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoSI0Qg0E2
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!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eD4iBaKWM
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvHferKvof
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiMSnjnSgW
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT2rHGPVYE
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXOXIaLYWh
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkadLjVIXD3
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!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEElt1yhfR
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0XaQYGSAs
RAINE
What are they talking about?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47mHq4NwF
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHtHjwEVwN
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUqCOAJD9
AJWAKU
Raine?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk34kFzQpcL
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1PcGtqPke
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfoXziCg9M
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNY0XMeWYQ
RAINE
Uh, hi. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUxZB0Q4re
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mg9alO22F

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEN3BrJfVK
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85q8gUvzY
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEUUJi09GO
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz07qPqhpTr
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Voxa390u
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBN2x4LuiK
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHc4dUnHLb
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycZJJJEcOF
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtmUTAdYuR
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GM6mgSAYz
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!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV5vjUVpak
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH7DRAdH5N
SUNAKU
What?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcOCPqDQjm
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Ar9zTX4x
RAINE
Who are you? 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafQE8V9yjw
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TS2JrtTx1
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V0ZdVovio
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXZmPd2YbJ
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XAginUCXA
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPPvBtQrAM
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCirr7Nsme
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjKjZLnnsT
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?!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY9iHe6gwG
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFMRjGXKvK
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrKQe0njst
AJWAKU
Yeah…?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqUhtp7mpn
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtKSq2QOQF
KABESE
Stop. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zCqgq1FUl
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiTbX4xg9U
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFyzHauKT4
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRl8ZV1WAz
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jNLLcEAq3
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWwaWFqfnW
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6LohhVzLD
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCCxHgJHqg
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlvMuKfl0i
RAINE
Sure… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7BJnuTc1i
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJctITuTofz
AJWAKU
Great!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjGDsl1Gm0
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4qOiwXSEC
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b8F4sEoS9
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnAYiK67Xk
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5QQI8uVNx
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxszxFLqak
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzGtqvaLA0
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.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aQUIsNfsv
