A Sudden Change

RIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGG Goes the first morning bell. After not being at school all weekend it was kind of a reassuring sound even though it scared the crap out of me just like it usually does but this time it was scarier then usual. Maybe because I was Half way asleep and maybe its because one of my best friends Ally squeezed me by the back of my neck when it wrang but either way it made me jump and spill my coffee all over my new white lace shirt. 

I went up to the first class of the day which also happened to be my least favorite. Math. We all stumble into class and as usual right at the last bell another one of my best friends Jake walks in. He takes his average seat next to me and we pull out our books. The teacher goes over something about algebra and I stare and wait blankly until the teacher wakes me up from my almost to good to be true wonderland of nothing. “Ally can you please explain why this is a negative and not a positive number?” I sit there in shock not having even a clue what this could mean or what even the problem is but suddenly Jake starts writing something on the back of his notebook. It’s the answer I suddenly realize and reply to the teacher with not one second to spare. 

As soon as I do Jenny one of the 2 “popular” girls in the class suddenly whips around and stares me in face with a discussed look. “what?” I answer, “does the thought that someone might actually be smarter then you scare you a little?” I say. She rolls her eyes in disgust and answers with a greedy little smile. “No but i’m sure that going a day with your little tool of a friend next to you giving you all the answers would scare you.” She whips back around and her ponytail almost hits me in the face. I really wish I could have came up with something witty but instead I just reply with, “He’s not giving me all the answers.” and the bell rings and we all rush out to 2nd period.

Now are classes are split. Half to English and half to science. I go to science first. Now I sit all alone because Jake has to go sit by Owen. I put in my ear phones and try to block out the mean comments being made by Jenny and Cassidy. My mom always tells me there just jealous but idk why any one would be. Besides my “flirtationship” with Noah. 

he’s the sweetest, Kindess, guy in our class and he supposedly has a major crush on me but I have my doubts. Speaking of Noah he just texted me Maybe my doubts shouldn’t be there. lol any way as soon as i look up from his little text I have our Science teacher looking over my shoulder and grabs my phone. Great just great. Now i’m Phoneless and Jakeless. Jenny laughs and blurts out, “Oh look someone was popular enough to get 1 whole text.” God why do i put up with her. I wanna punch her in the face and not even buy her ice cream afterwards. I just reply with, “guess thats one more then you huh?” and that shuts her up until the end of class. 

I meat Jake at the door and we walk down to first floor to english we pass Noah in the hallway and of corse Jake and Noah are best friends and give each other a nod Noah smiles and bumps me in the shoulder and I smile back. Jake and I keep walking until we get in the Hall until we get to the English room and suddenly the power goes out we walk in the room and sit our teacher heads out to see whats up with the power and we all sit talking the dark.

About 5 minutes later to men dressed on black walk in with a third behind them the door slams. They all pull out guns and every one starts screaming and they shoot one of the kids in the head on the spot. The lights come on and the chaos stops. We all stare blankly and shut up. One of the men says, “were all gonna play a little who loves who game with the other half of your class. Jenny blurts out she will beat the crap out of them if they don’t stop they shoot her to. A different one of the men starts passing out little sheets of paper and the first guy gives us instructions. “write the names of 1 girl and 1 boy in the other half of the class you want to see or say something last too.  If you get a match with someone in the other class you will not face your death.” We all right down names. I right down my friend Ally’s name as the girl and Noah as the boy even though i’m sure they won’t pick me and i’m not even sure if they are both still alive. All three of the men take our papers lock the door and leave. I start crying and Jake hugs me. Most people are also crying but i’m lucky to have Jake to comfort me. He gives me his jacket and holds me in his arms as I just Wait for all these men to return. When they do return they call two names, Cassidy, And mine. I lift my head from jakes chest and follow the men outside the door they take me to the gym. They tie up my hands, put a sock in my mouth and cover it with duck tape and i’m sure there going to kill me. they take me to one end of the gym and tell me to wait another person enters at the other end of the gym. Noah.

 I start to get a little exited like maybe just maybe he wrote my name down. we get closer and closer until we are 18 feet apart and one of the men in black says, “lucky you lucky you, you chose each other now a true test of love is to see the other in pain so Noah, are you ready to feel some real pain?” ‘The rules are for every two feet closer you get to each other is one slit of your precious little sweethearts wrists.” and they start pushing me toward Noah. “Two feet” says the guy behind me and the other pulls out a knife and shlashes my wrist i begin to scream but with the sock in my mouth it makes only a dull muffled noise i also begin to cry. Noah looks as if he’s feeling the same pain and is almost in tears. They push me forward again this time i’m not expecting the knife and it makes me jump cutting me even deeper and I cry even harder. Now Noah is trying to break away from the men and save me but a knife is now held to his neck. He stops and watches as they push me again and again slicing me over and over until i have a total of 9 cuts and i’m standing face to face with Noah who is just a little bit taller then me. They use the knife at his throat to cut our hands free and remove the duct tape from our mouths as soon as this happens Noah embraces me and I cry even more. Soon after the police show up and we are told all our other classmates but Cassidy and Jake are dead Noah looks at me for a second and runs his hand down my arm until he gets to the place where the cuts start. The shock that i’m in totally erases that pain and replaces it with the pain that all my class mates including Ally, my best friend are dead. I just stand there as some paramedics pull me away from Noah and place me on a gurney and take me to a hospital. I slowly but surly fall asleep and everything turns black. I can’t feel anything. I wake up by the sound of my mother weeping and my father talking to doctors. I’m laying in a hospital bed and the monitors keep beeping and nurses come in and keep me down My mother in the eyes and I fall back asleep.
