Desireé laughs as we are walking into class. "You did want now?!" She exclaims
"When we were at the hair salon I told the person sitting next to me, "excuse me ma'am, YO FACE!" I responded in a joyful tone. I'm not usually like this, but Desireé has always made me happy even on my most depressing days.
I slide into my chair waiting for class to begin, when suddenly the Lockdown siren blares. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL! TEACHERS LOCK YOUR DOORS! I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!" The monitor screams.
There's a panicked look on everyone's face. The class gets somewhere out of sight, waiting for it to be over.
My almost happy day has turned into the nightmare that lives inside of me.
Desireé looks over and squeezes my arm and says, "it's gonna be ok Caroline", I nod at her.
We sit there for a few minutes. Then there's a knock on the door. Everyone, including me figured that it was the principal coming to tell everyone to unlock your doors and to proceed teaching.
Desireé rises slowly and cautiously, and whispers to the teacher, "it's the principal, Mrs. Williams, I'll get it."
She peers through the door, when suddenly the door busts open!! In that terrifying moment I'm thinking, "nooo, Mrs. Williams, you didn't lock the freaking door!!"
All I see is a flash of black. Then to see Desireé with a gun to her head.
Some kids are crying hysterically, some are covering their eyes, I'm just sitting there unresponsive.
