Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo7bDibBap
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! 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsVDHyopqU
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! 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlO8aGDDH0
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.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVxrSkQlqS
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. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0h8VAGBdC
RAINE
So, what happened?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X4RFEMEyR
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4oDe2f9Rz
RAINE
Same. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FVRF4jCcT
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!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFYvDuwyB3
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNGhXccsP6
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA0gsDvlBu
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMf8jVkjNr
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLduaVv8Th7
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJvVSiegG
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!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kANA6IJB5
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtMfuDc3xb
RAINE

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5EsUyQ0JK
AJWAKU
Raine?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mdjUFV4b8
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHivEHdMoig
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSgXp7ZhSb
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4G9ujapGz
RAINE
Uh, hi. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ436vlCV6hE
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv0I3pByO2

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKRFPOjeKA
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcyHvZzDQz
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzmfDyb5Tu
RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8xEsfpD25
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwz5P6NBmI
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjUNNnpY7
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZgFttxbvY
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iB8AtLciy
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpjZFGufZV
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMdJO0z89q
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4WEsbZfzN
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!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Kk3MGWV8
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIMfj2fAeJ
SUNAKU
What?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uevntgJCm
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. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadoLvyQndU
RAINE
Who are you? 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFRB4MQNvk
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DCkiEvLGS
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. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg6dJdwpty
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqksAqk8PA
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22cycaZUcC
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqyerbNQng
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZey9cuoP8
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7trj3Tp77F
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?!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbYTSUUlrm
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl8F0SGQqN
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0oi0fQbiR
AJWAKU
Yeah…?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQjSDtxmYC
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXmb7IkNHC
KABESE
Stop. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2WB4nOWKZ
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn1M6CTYgD
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWczfjkaBg
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9bAsoe1wy
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSjmgRp3Wr
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvxIHsK7Dj
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrfVhyREWw
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUCpW83nWW
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E6YOIe9t8
RAINE
Sure… 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65uDdZbOTX
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVDEqNEgov
AJWAKU
Great!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKSt8wDPZG
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dFqERn9GS
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwAMQ6By7x
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrL1PNe31b
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6BzJoXIaP
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. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ndvHFVCu7
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. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDB9udoigF
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.)762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsMrqdeV60
