Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANA5jMfco6K9B
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! 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAGj3p8cVQrJ
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! 1029Please respect copyright.PENANATmSdr89Y4S
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.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANAMvNTnqE6Xj
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. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAwnwbzUQ63f
RAINE
So, what happened?1029Please respect copyright.PENANAjS4WxoHvWP
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…1029Please respect copyright.PENANAuO6S1wj7qK
RAINE
Same. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANA9zjw2HMKfd
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!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAP794VWPRMT
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANA84oimrmKQA
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAQWRw2OhlVD
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.1029Please respect copyright.PENANAeXYSVoGFUS
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?1029Please respect copyright.PENANARnB5BiHrsv
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAMF3q9UYOg6
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!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAz9yKjefnqU

RAINE

AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.1029Please respect copyright.PENANAczH6L4fnOM
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANAjLg8vnJ9Am
AJWAKU
Raine?1029Please respect copyright.PENANAS2qav3T8mV
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANAoh4Zk7kSOB
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANA3mV5hQtc1M
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAlzrtdl7Rn7
RAINE
Uh, hi. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANA5sMoWpPE97

Yes, that’s right.1029Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ia7vfdUt4

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAULnY7mMChv
RAINE

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANA3alnlP6jo6
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANAzJQuNmjqEd
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?1029Please respect copyright.PENANAGBkoh2e8Bi
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANAujkyKRARUq
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAM5LPt1HzXx
AJWAKU
Yes! 1029Please respect copyright.PENANA6UJbCoUM8l
(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!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAoV3Nn6JjrC
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANAWxtyjpOYcM
SUNAKU
What?1029Please respect copyright.PENANA0wI5SLvWXZ
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. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAf5dH9hG4FC
RAINE
Who are you? 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAR54Kf1Ek9J
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAANK2TvuFDs
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. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANA4sOA0AtElm
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?1029Please respect copyright.PENANAXybX4UxADe
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAWH4YWtDBpe
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAMfDqUPxsDj
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANAbIShWUJVQF
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAEYSbhDb4Xs
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?!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAK0WVWZWmmX
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANALhEMAIewS0
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?1029Please respect copyright.PENANAzmD7DlXVLd
AJWAKU
Yeah…?1029Please respect copyright.PENANA6aTiRUJruV
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?1029Please respect copyright.PENANANA2zHPJmDJ
KABESE
Stop. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAWenQkgWSD2
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAFHykzTQaQV
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 1029Please respect copyright.PENANA5u3ubBwwJG
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!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAomJr9qk3vC
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAoUXUpmkkXR
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAOlCzmTwt3x
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?1029Please respect copyright.PENANA6HfXgB4xjW
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAd90CRpYEXv
RAINE
Sure… 1029Please respect copyright.PENANADWW4MGOxdH
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.1029Please respect copyright.PENANACmIShAwsKq
AJWAKU
Great!1029Please respect copyright.PENANAcWp56Nj2XZ
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!1029Please respect copyright.PENANA7DXMwqlvg9
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANANtQzMrO1Zk
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAkE6qy1Q9v4
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)1029Please respect copyright.PENANA0vehl2ObQB
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. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAupJEOuO033
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. 1029Please respect copyright.PENANAwoExMGeqZ5
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.)
