Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACcX6qlO2vv
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! 1059Please respect copyright.PENANArJwtp0LNwq
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! 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqQCGwqeziL
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.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAufdZ8TJKC5
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. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA2XmZXNEh0j
RAINE
So, what happened?1059Please respect copyright.PENANADucVc7kyup
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…1059Please respect copyright.PENANAeN9KpXSdo3
RAINE
Same. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoSXfVhI440
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!1059Please respect copyright.PENANAbqG3Pwqnp8
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEe2r7wFpbw
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOmKaSsiAZC
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA2SDrTUFmV9
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJH3pB7W64c
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAV6IogageaQ
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!1059Please respect copyright.PENANAR3VbN0sWek
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?1059Please respect copyright.PENANArTmnUKeOsp
RAINE
What are they talking about?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFi0R3I3AoC
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFpA6U1k4lz
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuAr2pdvQ3b
AJWAKU
Raine?1059Please respect copyright.PENANATPi15nBIyB
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhjkjpVvppN
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUuyAc39PHc
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMnIoREC3qO
RAINE
Uh, hi. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAES42hJcr2A
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVaG63PhCTU
REISHI
My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADH5B2PY6JO
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgGDSfZvepl
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAT6snTBDssT

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAym8DVYmH0g
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACGjSXe3HyQ
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIeNDacYoKF
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMqSlJxJmjW
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgHC2lFOsBJ
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcdDUq1UHRH
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYDGkWFDNhh
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!1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFw0WK0S8qv
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgtU0M5vtRN
SUNAKU
What?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAANOnn7Lv1x
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. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdlsSJYmGaf
RAINE
Who are you? 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADFmCWjbGS1
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJBFnhcLUyG
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. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFL2YvGpfjN
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKcwJVvOJ3w
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmTqOC9fMWA
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYyD5iVVbRc
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAfIPlDqVR1f
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPcLOul6zVr
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?!1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4i1k4y4vGt
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.1059Please respect copyright.PENANADgvV9vn5AY
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0GYzqsNRl5
AJWAKU
Yeah…?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWXFnPTQ378
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzTEVyIfoUT
KABESE
Stop. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwrCi5NSmxh
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAiOxOM2Rfx0
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHce4cLkmku
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYwUZf5qUcp
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0WqFXR0X6o
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAbgiwP9bVqa
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!1059Please respect copyright.PENANACn5lhteiiO
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAAwlOQUVm7L
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcdlsQ94jJ2
RAINE
Sure… 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVnpEdBLVe8
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWJaJ1nWyMU
AJWAKU
Great!1059Please respect copyright.PENANAteVIUkoGof
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5cOxDLBSsj
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGSx8NT4mfe
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADFEg38nwiW
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAo9IBpVx6Y1
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. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxNV8AozDY2
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. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQE8gVqxUrL
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.)1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOZxjj0n5cB
