Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ntC1VWP6
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! 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc7O6fWerY
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! 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuWXRxjVS2
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.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOBdgRwBWO
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. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lm7ywQAjd
RAINE
So, what happened?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa78jPka04
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hEw33Wd7U
RAINE
Same. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICbcRH1edW
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!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMX0H0W0B7
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Qv19Z27m
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4BDEdWA5S
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCHPLPmO3b
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNpVTq8oeE
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoJqFEDgIh
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!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShh5nQ4v1S
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwoK6nvjYs
RAINE
What are they talking about?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfz2eMyc45
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKqpAHKmI1
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvhSFkdsgJ
AJWAKU
Raine?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwCqV5gcJP
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOFl4Eqyuf
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Z5Ld1mix
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvGgeZAKuf
RAINE
Uh, hi. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmo67JrgYy
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexarlwpOk5
REISHI
My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkcAsRZCRu
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhQNwQMDGQ
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLXAIlHeLl
RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS7HYea1TQ
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6xbymAjZQ
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ctFDiZYN
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzoKVmzOYb
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzlNiGBqVf
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3CKp3J7ix
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2RD7xaBdr
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrKdNbpk2B
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!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdSq5FbdW
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTgz56epxV
SUNAKU
What?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vH9lLka6s
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. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZVAJLDlph
RAINE
Who are you? 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyRtazKPZH
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp2Say01go
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. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmLsh7y41
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldMGwsipqp
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bi9oiCJsC
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqh7rfTQM
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTQVKqKH8Y
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGupoF7Qk92
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?!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6gG5qjIA
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6iGysPSyy
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxWpeOeJqD
AJWAKU
Yeah…?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzTjr9GHi1
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHqxOVtr2s
KABESE
Stop. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMopB1JlsH
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBZgOZzqwM
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ99WWIKCI3
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9EBZLlU5t
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfTciZXq7z
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6g6s4aBYK
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXvwVhdYwu
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDVO40Tt33
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovD7Gi9vnX
RAINE
Sure… 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAoVNbezCb
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei9sAjOehz
AJWAKU
Great!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3reCosgcV
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr11llIahIW
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1eX8nWMBp
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12at4FU3Cc
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd1v5ZRBW9
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. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLLJr0BWyJ
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. 752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeKWKA6y4E
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.)752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK4SvKwt97
