"NO!" Aubrey screeches, quickly getting up. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! SHUT UP! FINE, I'LL GO RINSE OFF IN THE OCEAN!" Aubrey scurries off, quickly rinses herself off, and runs back to us, in record time. She glares at Alice, "don't you dare."

Alice flashes her a lazy grin.

School break ended too quickly. Now we were back in Ms Smith's science class, reviewing chemistry. I was sitting behind Abigail, who was playing around on her laptop when Alexis suddenly asked to go to the bathroom. A couple of minutes, the shrill sound of the fire alarm rang out in our ears.

"ATTENTION!" The speakers boomed, "THIS IS NOT A DRILL. PLEASE MOVE TO THE DESIGNATED MEETING ZONE OUTSIDE, IN A CALM MANNER-"

Everybody, including me in our class, starts shrieking. Ms Smith is annoyed by our volume, and tells us to stop - but nobody is listening. It's not just us either, every student in the school was shrieking, running down the halls, trying to get out of the building. Max was the first one to break out of our classroom, and run out. We all quickly followed suit, and Ms Smith gets annoyed that we aren't moving in a calm manner.

We're about to die. We're going to be literally the opposite of calm right now, I think that's common sense.

We dash through the halls, slamming into each other. It's chaos, comparable to a riot, even. Kids tumble over from the sheer force of bumping into one another, which causes a huge chain reaction - making everybody tumble over onto the ground.

People yell at each other to get up, over fear that they may die. And to make matters worse, people are holding up the halls by going into their lockers and taking out their personal belongings.

"STOP IT!" Tyler protests, "STOP GRABBING YOUR STUFF!"

Iris shrugs, taking out all of her makeup in her locker. "I need to bring it with me, it comes with me everywhere. You never know when-"

"SERIOUSLY WE COULD DIE!" Max adds in after, "JUST LET US THROUGH! WHAT ABOUT YOU LILLIANA? YOU MUST HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE-"

Lilliana dismisses him, taking out her phone. Texting. Everybody is bewildered by them, mad. By now, teachers have been regulating all of the students passing through - barking at the girls to stop taking their personal belongings. To even prove a point, Ms Smith threw her blue nail polish on the ground.

It ended up creating a huge stain in the hallway, and slowing everyone down even further.

The cafeteria ladies wheel out the lunches prepared for us on food trolley's, running over people. The vegan cook stands on the trolley while her devoted friend pushes her around, singing with her pink ukulele: "This is your punishment for not being vegan!" Over and over again. Then, later adding on: "You'll all burn in hell!"

Jolene snaps at the cook, yelling: "You can't force people to be vegan!"

This sets off the vegan cook even more. She starts singing, "you may be a pretty person on the outside... But on the inside of your body, there are literal dead animals. So, why the fuck aren't you vegan yet?!"

They bulldoze over a dozen more innocent students, and by the end of it - there is a large group of injured students laying on the floor. They all groan in pain, and because of this, none of us can pass through. Ms Winny, our PE teacher, forces us to drag the students along the floor - telling us that this would be great exercise.

"GO GO GO!" She barks, slapping her hands together. "LET'S HURRY UP, THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVES ON THE LINE!"

Emily is frail, and decides to push a kid in a wheelchair to the exit instead. Ms Winny sees this, and yells at her.

"WHY DO YOU HAVE A WHEELCHAIR?! LEAVE IT BEHIND!"

"I BROKE BOTH OF MY LEGS!" The wheelchair student cried.

"THEN DRAG HER ALONG THE FLOOR LIKE ALL OF YOUR OTHER PEERS!"

Ms Winny advances, pushing the poor student out of her chair - and throwing the wheelchair back into the halls. It ends up clocking Iris on the head, and squashes Lilliana.

We make a mad run for the door, dragging students behind us towards the exit. We make it outside the school, and see the vegan cook and her friend ramming over emergency personnel. The police show up, and try to restrain them, but they are too fast. They end up squashing multiple police officers, all while the vegan cook sings: "Why the fuck aren't you vegan yet?!"

Once we've all regrouped outside, fire trucks start pulling into the parking lot. Fire fighters emerge from the big red trucks, and bravely dive into the school. All while police officers try to stop the vegan cook and her friend from maiming anyone else.

After sixteen police officers had been sacrificed, all knocked over - the vegan cook and her friend had been restrained.

Ten minutes later, fire fighters come out, with no fire to be found.

"Alright," our school principal snaps. "Who pulled the fire alarm?"

Nobody fesses up to it.

"I hope you've realised that you've just wasted the precious time of these firefighters. Whoever pulled it, confess now or otherwise you'll be suspended."

Everybody is silent, and the principal glares at us for even more before sending us back to class. However, on the way there, Ms Gob pulls me aside - to the principal, Ms Smith, Alexis and a firefighter waiting for me.

I'm actually really sorry I was lacking inspiration, and the only thing that gets me re-inspired is writing crack.
