Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkwNUT0yB8
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! 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FMZJANjXd
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! 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl8yJtUc3y
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.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOlt5bRida
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. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VLdLNiBva
RAINE
So, what happened?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnvYkZT4KS
AJWAKU

Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBwL4T1UHo
RAINE
Same. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW3RcDFmiS
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!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlGqkQhUkz
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOgILLU3hl
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKY0QA9mXD
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7B38m0qLq
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdK7WZNzCO
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxdJASGoqF
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!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI4E52vKHC

AJWAKU
Raine?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTh6SwXyGE
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsGTr76ObI
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NRuF1tJpZ
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuD2EJK7ze
RAINE
Uh, hi. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoP0IdVpLo

I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7bbBLBqrB
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwY5T7xCwY
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6if9AXV54
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuUwkuyeIO
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Kf5ik3eP
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!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2iRvCVbf8
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVdyAhiSaY
SUNAKU
What?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDimCRG8vRS
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. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfox8pANLx
RAINE
Who are you? 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL3WkemUQA
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvPkd3MJFo
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. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxVWz8sQF
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT4Y4OUFt8
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmP08hrMj1
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmsoG23YRh
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g7rzUyw16
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuibA22dFWu
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?!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BkknLkIN
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHPic4env
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOfbdSoRD4
AJWAKU
Yeah…?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TzAJxE88S
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4utEZEnzni
KABESE
Stop. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMXoOliEpZ
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)

AJWAKU

KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLJzVTVU2v
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXBfSVGl11
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGbBJS6KZr
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsQk9R0ak8
KABESE

RAINE

MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn2UJM08Aq
AJWAKU
Great!883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnbkt8VXYM
KABESE

MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew1ZsnfjYZ
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxpVhMClt4
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIun2oXdQzh
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. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVVgi1VZFT
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. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ3EGuJaLH
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!
