Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 824Please respect copyright.PENANANbE2RaRPwW
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! 824Please respect copyright.PENANASZkXJHZFD1
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! 824Please respect copyright.PENANAlQEADYG0Dp
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.)824Please respect copyright.PENANA8LObROs0WB
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. 824Please respect copyright.PENANARvoVlQ84G2
RAINE
So, what happened?824Please respect copyright.PENANAr0UelX8OMy
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…824Please respect copyright.PENANAqrs8NG9mVQ
RAINE
Same. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Yd5l8PAm
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!824Please respect copyright.PENANAt2v0iA97j8
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAp59zifEZ7e
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!824Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Ul0mBYnT
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.824Please respect copyright.PENANAWF9tb5Y8o8
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?824Please respect copyright.PENANAtECdUq0NzH
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAFulOjg0GEK
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!824Please respect copyright.PENANAZUhe27MjX6
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?824Please respect copyright.PENANA2fR9ZULc5h
RAINE
What are they talking about?824Please respect copyright.PENANAfU9CkOEiSi
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.824Please respect copyright.PENANAK1CXjKJMBh
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAjqaIip8Vr4
AJWAKU
Raine?824Please respect copyright.PENANAPvck28secZ
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAuaXli2qHP3
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAPy7NpS7SOi
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 824Please respect copyright.PENANA45Ru72khGC
RAINE
Uh, hi. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAm1pQL1FNK6
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?824Please respect copyright.PENANAYQenmqgdwL

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 824Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3D7FdG9J9
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.824Please respect copyright.PENANAi4vVCXBsqd
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAVFadjhZtqQ

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAbb39txOCS0
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAhOUfWanG82
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)824Please respect copyright.PENANATMeo4RUEzt
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAJD3CICAY0s
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?824Please respect copyright.PENANAMdNWDJyRaU
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAj7FVBzB1LG
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAtoxAcKYXut
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!824Please respect copyright.PENANAUFZGrfQ72f
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAi5uNeet4GP
SUNAKU
What?824Please respect copyright.PENANApPgexL1NMs
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. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAGnVD9abvCd
RAINE
Who are you? 824Please respect copyright.PENANAtxgYtSR973
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 824Please respect copyright.PENANAgOSa9igps1
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. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAEQZMiJQ277
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?824Please respect copyright.PENANAAToBXjfCCw
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAjESiyDlMCx
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 824Please respect copyright.PENANAGwcmI2gOon
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)824Please respect copyright.PENANARPIBXFlvhH
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!824Please respect copyright.PENANARfvD4PULrl
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?!824Please respect copyright.PENANAnbA6rRoDtP
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.824Please respect copyright.PENANAmUtewhJl5Z
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?824Please respect copyright.PENANA4MMiSiIrwf
AJWAKU
Yeah…?824Please respect copyright.PENANA2M1zpSOLEv
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?824Please respect copyright.PENANAcrBmk6chCb
KABESE
Stop. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAPhP7Om3hOg
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 824Please respect copyright.PENANA4BT9coioH3
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 824Please respect copyright.PENANAlATKhh9BgW
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAU1neQoXVqM
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!824Please respect copyright.PENANA5fmzvuo10U
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 824Please respect copyright.PENANAN6MtaFySbM
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!824Please respect copyright.PENANAlbGyVVY7n6
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?824Please respect copyright.PENANA5jk65q7qyt
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAX6aMMeW07a
RAINE
Sure… 824Please respect copyright.PENANAPeLYsGAL8M
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.824Please respect copyright.PENANAyRKnPc6JUC
AJWAKU
Great!824Please respect copyright.PENANAbM2dz9yQxr
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!824Please respect copyright.PENANAYvyLEBKdBA
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 824Please respect copyright.PENANA62XgNZ95wM
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 824Please respect copyright.PENANAdKNPCWw2bG
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAb7pD3W8GEK
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. 824Please respect copyright.PENANAToeurqbXFF
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. 824Please respect copyright.PENANArkRMaONV70
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.)824Please respect copyright.PENANAnOIV3xE8Rf
