*RRRRIIIIINNNNGGG*
*parker sits at his desk ,
the clock ticks as the teacher walks to the front of the room*
Mrs.sair: Alright class take out your pencils and open to page 7 in your packets.
*the class flips to page seven in a dramatic order*
Mrs.sair: As you can see the brain naturally reacts to distressing situations with adrenaline and as I'm sure you all know adrenaline Is the fight or flight reaction to danger. But what ab-blah, blah, blah.
Parker:*zones out and finds himself distracted by his own thoughts*
"What if I don't find friends what if no one likes me what if I don't fit in?"
Then he remembers his mom hugging him and telling him he'll bee alright that he doesn't have to worrie because he will make plenty of friends. It comforts him.
A few years go by and now Parker has made a few friends, he's finishing up 8th grade.
*7th period*
Mrs.sair: –And as you all know the year is concluding and that brings your end of the year exams, so make sure to study and review everything we've talked about this year. So-*continues on with the lecture*
Parker: *whispersto himself* All the sudden I don't have a good a feeling about this. (raises his hand) Umm Mrs.sair?
Mrs.sair: Yes what is it?
Parker: May I use the bathroom?
Mrs.sair: Go ahead.
The bathrooms are clean and new, the lights buzz with a low Humm accompanying the silence as Parker enters the stall the creak of the door follows.
Parker: something is wrong it feels like a buring sensation in my chest. What is this?
*Parker then proceeds the the sink as he washes his hands he looks at the mirror, he remembers his childhood*
Suddenly in the blink of an eye the lights around him flicker the bathroom destroyed, one of the lights hanging from the ceiling, mirrors cracked and the door nowhere to be found.
Parker begins panicking looking for a way out screaming for help but his voice is drowned out by the silence as if he couldn't speak at all, he tries screaming and screaming but no one comes to his aid.
The bathroom begins to fill with water and Parker starts to cry the pain the stress the anxiety all too much for him to handle. He tries beating on the walls but they don't break.
Seeing no other options he climbs on the sink to avoid the water but its no use the water begins to go over his head and Parker begins to drown as he sinks farther and farther into the darkness of the water.
Parker thinks to himself: "No I don't understand, this pain it's...it's unbearable. . . Why. . .why did it have to be–me."
As his eyes begin to close he falls deeper into the darkness.
