 it was a  schoolday on saturday for  me and my best friend alex on the saturdays some kids who are failing or need help they come to school on saturday. we lived in tulsa, oklahoma. "aw crap . theres a quiz today" alex said un-surprisingly. then i said" well of course there is mrs.farrell repeatedly said it over 7 times. you shouldnt have been playin around with your thoughts."during the quiz it was so silent you could here a rain drop drop . alex was stuck on the 15th problem(15+38)+4=15+(38+4) . he had to figure out what math property the problem was . then alex started to fill a tingle in his arm . the whole table was vibrating . then alex whisperd to eathen " stop kicking the table ". then i  replied in a angerd  voice " thats not me ".they both looked up from the table at the the same time . the whole class was looking like a deer staring at headlights in the middle of the night . alex got up swiftly and took a couple of steps torward the window . as he looked out gazing at the sky you could hear him say " ohh my gaa" and all the class ran up to the window . there were hundreds of c-5 cargo planes . flying slowly and close to the ground . there were also thousands of little dots in the sky with people hanging from them . " there are paratropers"corey said . he was a big history buff and knew a lot of military stuff  . then they heard a loud explosion . as four f 15 jets flew by they propeled missiles at one of the cargo planes . the plane went soaring down in a huge red and yellow fire ball. the class screamed  in fear. mrs.farrell yelled " move away from the windows ! " the class was like heard of hippos stomping torward the wall . then mrs farrell comanded " go to the supply closet ". the class ran into an unordirly line to scared to talk they stood there shaking in fear .  mrs.farrell ran us into the suply closet down the hall . it was cramped with all 23 of the students in there with all the copy paper and boxes of papaer clips and staples . the light was dim . they were in the suply closet . we had been in there for a couple of hours the lights went out and the classgave a scream but soon went back to being quet . but there stomhacks had not.. it had to be around 5:30. mrs. farrle shakley but firmly said " we need to get some food " . the students heads turned and stared blankly at her. "does anyone volentere to come with me to get some food from the cafateria . corey the boy from and i raised our hands . we were the strongest boys in the class. " alright . lets go ". " and also she whisperd to alex who was nere by and said "watch over them ". alex gave a faint node . mrs farrel pushed the door slowly whiley the door gave a loud squek . mrs farrel then heald the door for me and corey . the hallways were quiet and dark . all but the echoing of there shoes hitting the floor . they could still here the explosins and gunshots outside in the distance.  as they walk they think of there family and other friends . when they reach the cafatiria  mrs.farrell says softly " go in the kitchen area and go to the closet and there should be some big cans of fruit  and maybe bags of bread ." the boys replied "with an uh sound ., when we got to the cafetirea we searched for food but there was none to be found. all that was there were blank empty shelves . as we walk back to the door of the cafiteria  mrs.farrel looks at us sadly and understands that there was no food . we then walk back to the supply closet . we open the door . the kids haven curious looks on there to see what food we brought .but as they see our empty faces and hands they soon retrn to the satside d empty look . we set down and for what seems about five more hours the class just slightly talked with oneother . and what seems the loud explosins and gun shots get closer and closer. we slowly drift away to sleep .  i was the first awake . when i woke up i thought i was in my bed but i soon was disapointed  to find myself cramped next to alex and corey my friends . that i would play call of duty with . and skate board together with no worries . now there are many worries . worries of family worries if i would never see my family again . all i could do was just think of all the burdans . i cried . not loadly . but a few tears found there way out of the narrow way out if my eyes .  for a few more minuites i realised tha it was silent . not like last night with all the gunshots and explosins . . i stayed awake till alex woke up then a few more people woke up haylee and gavin . then thee rest of the class and mrs.farrel woke up . we were all quite no noing what to do .  some kids drifted back to sleep then got back up .  then we heard loud foot steps in the hallway . it sounded like boots hiting the floor but a lot of themwe soon heard voices shoutung voices but we couldint understand what they were saying but the voices got closer and closer .and then they were right outside the door the class began to move back torward the wall . the  kids  gasping and letting out scared moans . and then the door opened  very furiously and fast .  the whole class screamed and moved backwards torward the wall . as soldiers armed with ak 47s yell at them in a foreign languge.it seems to be chineese. they put there guns to there side  and  started to grab  and push us torward the door. as i moved closer and closer to the door i realised there was  there was a bus parked outside with a soldier as tthe driver. when we get to the bus , a girl in our class starts to cry loudly , her nae was journey . she was my friend . she would always try to make us laugh .  the soldiers started to yell at her . nobody coulded understand what they were saying . but then a one of the soldiers spoke out in a very thick chinese accent . "stop crying it will make things a lot easier for you ". she. tryed to stop crying instaed she just shut her mouth and put her hand over her mouth to muffle the sound . as we get the bus the driver  stares at us with a hatred look on his face . but the look only confuses me , becase we have done nothing wrong . as we sit down onto the seats the soldiers come by and handcuff us and cuff our one leg to the bottom of the seat . when they were done cuffing us the  one of the  soldiers yelled out something and then the driver closed the bus door and put it in gear , when we were driving the soldiers just stand with one hand on  a the top of a seat for balance . and staring at us wtching like we could just break out of our cuffs any secound . we were in the bus for a while . i just looked out the window looking at everything that passed wondering if i would ever see them again .  one of those things was darlington park . it wasint a very good park and it wasint bad . it had a lot open land , a playground and a tennis court . me and my buddies , alex , corey , haylee, dilan and a lot of other people would skateboard there . unexpecticly i fall asleep ,
