Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAx5xQBZmcES
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! 540Please respect copyright.PENANA0lUzKuHNqG
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! 540Please respect copyright.PENANA0MddWzJuv1
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.)540Please respect copyright.PENANApACqStuWZE
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. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAlTuvmbJcsU
RAINE
So, what happened?540Please respect copyright.PENANAIuCbarJPoU
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…540Please respect copyright.PENANAchCRZX4Jvn
RAINE
Same. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAEmaRbiTKAX
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!540Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y9zquD3o8
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAzouYkK6QZN
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!540Please respect copyright.PENANANiT7RMaXoe
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.540Please respect copyright.PENANAVBkv7DOrni
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?540Please respect copyright.PENANANMmXJ39ROg
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 540Please respect copyright.PENANA8BrTGpEANg
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!540Please respect copyright.PENANAzq95p6RajH
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?540Please respect copyright.PENANAc0hAMKbynV
RAINE
What are they talking about?540Please respect copyright.PENANAiZH62Wg7jH
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.540Please respect copyright.PENANArQWG5KuToM
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAMYWOAgcHqd
AJWAKU
Raine?540Please respect copyright.PENANAWhk49KUln3
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAbDWGkvMYct
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAYZeoMEaXiL
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAPLhmkReGLm
RAINE
Uh, hi. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAFahBIja8kc
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU

My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 540Please respect copyright.PENANAv0run8YN0c
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.540Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xc7sTOiqT

REISHI

(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAA44KSc7DQ7
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAFK7ToWMOwY
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?540Please respect copyright.PENANAJR6IIcHZzL
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)540Please respect copyright.PENANApnM2tYL0dJ
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAtYsvMREUKs
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!540Please respect copyright.PENANACFPjDS3jgO
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAX7QF2ZWKVe
SUNAKU
What?540Please respect copyright.PENANAVyl1dBqG3S
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. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAwkpwJoPWu9
RAINE
Who are you? 540Please respect copyright.PENANAj6QyqDl5BA
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 540Please respect copyright.PENANA816DyzjHj5
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. 540Please respect copyright.PENANA0WnFcd5sdt
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?540Please respect copyright.PENANADYGHHvaKUn
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAVPoafzrizK
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 540Please respect copyright.PENANADNm1fn8Y14
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAFpf2ny6tEA
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!540Please respect copyright.PENANACYpl3xAfTl
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?!540Please respect copyright.PENANAPU86OAN8o7
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.540Please respect copyright.PENANAgMPlrTMAaE
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?540Please respect copyright.PENANAUdCqddlD1S
AJWAKU
Yeah…?540Please respect copyright.PENANAyhgT9XY5AU
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?540Please respect copyright.PENANAUwhiwnh2QQ
KABESE
Stop. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAdBaf8zoWoe
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAn1KV4FlVZc

Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!540Please respect copyright.PENANANcGenLapcF
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 540Please respect copyright.PENANACNoiU81QAK
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!540Please respect copyright.PENANAsTnAPukWOZ
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?540Please respect copyright.PENANAiEeP8hkt5T
KABESE

MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAdVbOFCPMl0
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 540Please respect copyright.PENANA3AQHY2ZmKQ
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAXpjr1JdR4d
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. 540Please respect copyright.PENANANTAZRm7QD8
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. 540Please respect copyright.PENANAwvBw4bxtdV
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.)540Please respect copyright.PENANAZJvISR0Kzx
