Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVGQRDNW6f
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! 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkISIqaYmVi
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! 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvIK440As9
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.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PcIByaCau
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTYAQifPnc
RAINE
So, what happened?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV4QNtXiG3
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11948c2i8o
RAINE
Same. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXa7LJCFH
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!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ4dog0Pla
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuiZ6z4CDH
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJqWbX1WE
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMZmztwTVn
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zm0Nm3wqg
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rwi0OaFrZ
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!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPgsmDTmSf

AJWAKU
Raine?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcB95qGsAR
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOzNnKo1LN
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd91ezUrGrf
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1I5MntpOX
RAINE
Uh, hi. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgElWeQENCT

RAINE

REISHI

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3wBF74nCU
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu98SUJh8f
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUb66I0bV4
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MIBzyU2hq
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JOKaLCgCB
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!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg46kNgQ7ZT
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwj2Atyq5a
SUNAKU
What?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiwojUwKM8
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3C0F63mxn
RAINE
Who are you? 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEDNpRyZZ6
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIVGuh9TdW
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XJ4JaZvZJ
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeBF0i7knZ
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr011gZeL6c
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOxvh0Okiz
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlJnavcCvq
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZRDCZ20Wn
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?!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiP3D1zIAF
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiLDBMEJ3P
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg9pp8wMZD
AJWAKU
Yeah…?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJo9e67YUD
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZUdfXIq9r
KABESE
Stop. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqtfOg1SIV
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p1GBOo3o4
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtJbnpNE3x
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLiwS3SOl2
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalnDZu1z2n
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Q7N4VpXp
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexut6vsxFS
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrO44AzCwZ
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3RMFIMiZF
RAINE
Sure… 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUS5e4Pfgt
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHHtm00t91
AJWAKU
Great!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W03WJis5R
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8vvZGaR9o
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi6tFMwbzg
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hwobedRDI
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUjmZswMrF
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lDWVCOV8U
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P0lDJVvYp
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.)750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ooXotXEs
