Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFq93IX0Yn
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! 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ1IFai9iz
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! 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUccU1QPQf
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.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFFuWZaR9k
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. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrogaCnhsuJ
RAINE
So, what happened?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7AY1EcyZu
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfs0Ebz6Tt
RAINE
Same. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFLfcTdQaN
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!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiQTtgakco
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg9A6xwgEN
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTt7GJrELe
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsEJAeniE0
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc6AP72QNS
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGfV6vecHR
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!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddg6IB1Hfo
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYSQv6IrVI
RAINE

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI96PYMNMW
AJWAKU
Raine?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V3Oq0uAKE
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1ygZhU9n
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RBjdECzu7
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lZREPYTII
RAINE
Uh, hi. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaDdIJioHi
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTqrg6LAeM

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpvGXcBaef
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmizlOo3lo
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9dyOugvn1
RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c9EFrRx1m
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpLazG1NDQ
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnh1cnziy7
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoI0CwByCG
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAdWn43OaZ
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qKMNuShwp
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8mkuNEF5j
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw5ZkRu3Fi
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!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc71e0QyTC
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WEbzGTMdl
SUNAKU
What?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF9WuDuDAm
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. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98jFCBWlvP
RAINE
Who are you? 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaaWRv2X6u
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA290nRa1z4
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. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFroSA0I9fu
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcC90XKCJF
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyecmj6QYOW
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4IatORxOh
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL95rQ1XfrT
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oG8BqNypP
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?!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvfPgLNnwn
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1EKHWVOt6
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRWKKnaOGs
AJWAKU
Yeah…?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ698aSXDGyG
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEOiK7If7E
KABESE
Stop. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWphmR5YffC
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToDvcRNSHm
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2q9QBY0c9
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelpzUyTzY2
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8S0ttpmyi
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEDlOh5EoY
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wobmJ776e
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn0BvncQ1P
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk4ekbl4mR
RAINE
Sure… 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYezlb0EKS
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxSzTKJOiu
AJWAKU
Great!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmvslBT7DM
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE72c90D92c
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLNPFrX0Py
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVd5UsNyfi
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEifPI8kZ
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. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Sv3KsItP
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. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn6TFL9t3A
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.)872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0DjviBwoy
