Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV5kUKczlg
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! 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQfFIdH2v0
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! 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNW8YCxvG7
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.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hs9kD8im3
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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgMaMtXJS8
RAINE
So, what happened?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq3HFbI68G
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh117NdSUo1
RAINE
Same. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIzT0kXg06
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!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstEruRYCXJ
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWzGyPmbnm
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vf4pdAOsf
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi84Vky2PwT
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClEDAz1jE9
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcyCtrsw19
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!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1RCcpbOvh
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXsSuO249p
RAINE

AJWAKU
Raine?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ334q1UjAjN
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD33UTKStul
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZdCxYASyg
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22zuNhFYZk
RAINE
Uh, hi. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtjPqRJjCr

Yes, that’s right.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnE9pgrvVs

Well, I caused this storm you see. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruTWCflDcq
RAINE

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNAdp2S4DP
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowXa4JwqnP
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpqTTMdM9M
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG63Z1UYnj
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvgqmKWHtw
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNqEi5D0XQ
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMv1DRoUqp
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!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv9hExpphZ
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHHjQKMBMG
SUNAKU
What?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfr7i6j9l5
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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw5P0cWIGg
RAINE
Who are you? 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQbsrJ7OAc
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFYMtyJMMw
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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruFLGv026F
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo86aHii64
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjSRbdSG5U
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbU0zQhHGF
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30mlJFVv3T
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHMgI8ToQ3
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?!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBzkRwrel5
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzzxeiAZQm
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4z4KjaGs9
AJWAKU
Yeah…?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3dktC2zA9
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjtiKZLimB
KABESE
Stop. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQlctOLBua
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezi4UfHjy2
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvyX3dEhCa
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ZFZASqS3
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWSPesZxU6
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqxxOXaNFW
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XVHuuWotk
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYfYw644cT
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmyPaVBW3g
RAINE
Sure… 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ib4i7kpN3
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28zrHfSPzM
AJWAKU
Great!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa6rh0R6WK
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8hW8Rdtz5
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68KS0j8vkb
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDAn3z3NrI
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvw90eEDFP
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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1WNAn9mOP
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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhESO6oYU5
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.)737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb5kWZoPxN
