Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Jl16rlpq
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! 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSsHE3p2JB
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! 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoz7AD0MHD
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.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmBbArCtYo
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. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Ksh23Pzh
RAINE
So, what happened?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkImmlANA2
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0JuZgTfS6
RAINE
Same. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VjZ2NIXfE
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!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCfTdPDmrM
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu9EHd8Jfk
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE70JOftbuc
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gjodumXns
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhfcCmyNVM
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn7PQlTlll
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!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wM4C5XSgw

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvFvxVXiSe
AJWAKU
Raine?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6AV57KPGT
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZihovZ4s0
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG1YAOKcG5
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvmkx8r1wJ
RAINE
Uh, hi. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoqsoH2MmX

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWul7YVFv

Well, I caused this storm you see. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzDFKEWFQB
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGCXCteuo
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKS33tSUjg
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDFU0MVHSL
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnky7zzpwO
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DaCbl3QcR
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAul0pPNbO3
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYEXfOtf6k
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!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNlb0x9mRB
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILb5Jhthev
SUNAKU
What?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ8VU1uejX
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. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nwRjmQ9ET
RAINE
Who are you? 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf38xaeavM
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o4xPn6QvO
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. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQEK2DWCB9
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPWNndAE9i
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfRdhKsySo
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkUMRVb0oe
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kSAjH2k2F
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhrDsY7qfE
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?!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaRlg3PZFU
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOwEAvnCJh
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElgV0bkv9c
AJWAKU
Yeah…?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfDdU4v5Cs
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzJXFVTMwP
KABESE
Stop. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvvYxGQXH9
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx02deooHEu
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQnsoDmYxu
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhApcxCPUCC
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmgUyxqgvY
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4XHOe6xyJ
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCwzXei8V4
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOnZycihJD
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOOvbFVQmG
RAINE
Sure… 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkm4BxT0uR
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqIjUGLXql
AJWAKU
Great!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP96VgDEa7N
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTTCLuzyfR
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07t8XeDdHQ
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo82ir458AI
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1vJ2B6UDs
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. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjqBTerArp
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. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9VHYauhEj
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.)776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnwNN8nZzU
