Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSWiWWYTxe
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! 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd51kMbdzoK
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! 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VI7bbP8h2
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.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziJ3c5gHH6
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4lW5lB0oi
RAINE
So, what happened?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIlYjnrm1N
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0s2hI67iI
RAINE
Same. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2s5PpS8Qv
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!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1RtCr7OQA
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQn3Zonjrj
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI12JjfrPI
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTmDrXNoUY
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMFsmngIPF
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXyEizOi4F
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!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg4u0EarBe
KABESE

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIWDwvtDYf
AJWAKU
Raine?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LCDTv04p7
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZWCFJupNo
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWBYECpfk
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gWvomtvxT
RAINE
Uh, hi. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7n8QqUGs3
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l0D4D1dru

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEuhBATyBS

Well, I caused this storm you see. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQEFTx33Zf
RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFu16Az56U
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ22aQjXgV
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORSPYoQ4AR
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEoa799NaN
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4JXpQTv9r
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbfGd4e4wg
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SZpT7sBPK
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tpfdSm8At
AJWAKU
Yes! 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ChFdBkpP
(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!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVqA3U9gUC
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZiDBMXclY
SUNAKU
What?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8W3Koocvx
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH26sVmlLPS
RAINE
Who are you? 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS7umhYzBM
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj2ZYwH69v
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLbEypX2z
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQhgSil67m
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaenWd0Fyvd
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunw83sTwdB
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jNyqSHehU
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EzSXIvBzw
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?!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL94Qw8Lhg
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSH0qn8yaP
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8x5lJBgon
AJWAKU
Yeah…?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEzKFgAaKQ
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d7Oo1jflG
KABESE
Stop. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrVy5xXmBw
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmnecibC8V
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuWYHrlCZu
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese.
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzsTBowERE
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbNjeDYHXM
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC32SzT40F
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhSRM0Glo
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbASlkd6iQp
RAINE
Sure… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9UuTaMrqe
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33JPZ7Shx5
AJWAKU
Great!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DRIZcTDGa
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOl15KehIh
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr9QRVtPjo
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYJJYrVRTo
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe7wvGwzSX
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpugcP3iFq8
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. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jxp8QxPN9
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.)
