Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84QlMCuX8p
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! 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxggT1veDZj
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! 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr5o2xKhSA
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.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCMQ9bxubK
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. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXBwesShl
RAINE
So, what happened?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68ae1Hfhiu
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2hC3yi787
RAINE
Same. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr78xE2hoo
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!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Psueo7pKZ
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrOlk0j2Av
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERxzJyyITf
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW4XwYklSK
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMn9kP07yt
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnYalvqdFz
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!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIHviQhAnh

No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKIDdHaAUM
RAINE

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbq280nhDJ
AJWAKU
Raine?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZiVD6Y2MY
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnRSNDD4qp
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAcGkDvW4A
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRYGxM9XtK
RAINE
Uh, hi. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e0avoyYv0

Yes, that’s right.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwldgoC9qI

Well, I caused this storm you see. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBzJ58RnAt
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg66hPpSmB6
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq51JSLfyt
REISHI
Oh,

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrABTz55Um
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqVABCM94h
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQIzWABDN7
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibVnI2nPs0
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIsbk58Jpo
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!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeLDKXuucp
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8zQfQ0hPR
SUNAKU
What?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTCYVOvLXJ
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. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5MxuPz6SM
RAINE
Who are you? 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HSbAKQEJy
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvXcJNpBnU
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. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel6mejlNdX
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTsDuEGH0Z
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGUGaBTQfV
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWh8xZX81g
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCClef58QR6
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54TAN2fKxp
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?!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxJNGHVn9o
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUueA9YXqaS
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElVlvJWXMF
AJWAKU
Yeah…?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzG8uY9UGt
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7IVmc5i9k
KABESE
Stop. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6FAt0qltH
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Q2CDi4sQ
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0oR33Y6bW
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzyimqUHwU
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReg8Pbre8U
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D3a6a4Hmd
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1fodqXKYM
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwkaDVowVd
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTdoTVHkh9
RAINE
Sure… 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB0zFCA2xY
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bUIuBDck
AJWAKU
Great!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVThnv8go21
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckFPt53Q63
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJaNGYh6cX
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbuJ44Lyqv
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCG3DIXYK1
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. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8oqENEK7i
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. 836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IHXuPAcdT
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.)836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsy7TVVQUT
