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

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

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4vVCXBsqd

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,

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
