Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK7jx3HSK7
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! 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZvCpJjPHx
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! 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIjzMd9NeK
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.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe7D6z1ArI
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. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg5zOailXi
RAINE
So, what happened?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6yWtaKJ2b
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BDio2yAGk
RAINE
Same. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWNt8Vm7m2
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!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaihEpPnDjK
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5ZB6PjkO
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAofBfOLq0y
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhP4hIdGwO
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3XRDGoloA
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NsgOs2FsA
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!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvVjEOK4Fm
KABESE
No! I swear if you so much as touch her, I will kill you! Got that?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQvT27JYPQ
RAINE
What are they talking about?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5derftNUQ
AJWAKU
I-I-I don’t know. Ignore it.821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJSzZtOuHA
RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosmfhCwRa0
AJWAKU
Raine?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MUQIsmTKZ
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjgOuUOozA
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2boKCuJgKN
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjlTCffXGA
RAINE
Uh, hi. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLITOqmSjV
AJWAKU, KABESE, SUNAKU
Hi?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX6Pw71TCD
REISHI
My name is Reishi, and your name is Raine Kuro, right? 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc9H2waXpw
RAINE
Yes, that’s right.821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw0rCexk5z
REISHI
Well, I caused this storm you see. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqcSoEUKw
RAINE
I do. Well, I don't.821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQq9XPUbRx
REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WLLyoL1Ko
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTuuNanbUl
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEfG6P5S6M
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvyIioK9oI
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XLiqhd1Xn
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSrrpHrCX7
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p4cR5ZyJh
AJWAKU
Yes! 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvoDob22sK
(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!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfoBcH1yPd
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLdiWNlBV7
SUNAKU
What?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ1XtGCUnV
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. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjcdbCx2j7
RAINE
Who are you? 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0cjf65Vui
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjI6sFFCsz
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. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUhKVY4Bou
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDhTV3QFU2
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLydRrmYXr
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNJbBKF5uJ
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tuost0oO2
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzxYC8BKhw
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?!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA9dtogHiV
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtNeJFMMnG
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMHCyTToBA
AJWAKU
Yeah…?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQCTjI227b
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbwzTZfoGn
KABESE
Stop. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPZ1yzQQs1
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4axJAUVRtj
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyCKPcQnhS
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!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRNZKnrHNI
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyegc8HfZNP
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYJcJnN5wx
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr00AukcJDC
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvcv8M3IwG
RAINE
Sure… 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI61mzqiyKl
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayNR3cpKse
AJWAKU
Great!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGePX3ZorF
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXQLhSH1Hb
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwiq3gVMqV
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyf0lHLPwo
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVo6LeGgId
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. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGS7DOqN6k
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. 821Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWCR3l26hY
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.)
