"Five minutes more!" said Mrs Angel our English teacher, she was a dark lady who was still in her thirties and had a nice flare about her, she taught English differently, and you would wonder how a smart woman like her ended up at Ridgemont High.
I was already done with my paper and the murmurs had begun to rise as the hall was struggling to finish their questions, it was a few minutes to break time already and Andrew didn't look like he needed my help so I rose to go and submit and right as I stood, a loud banging sound coursed through the school compound.
It took us a minute to process and in no time, everybody jumped from their sits and lay flat on the ground
"Get down!, everybody stay on the ground," said Mrs Angel as she lay flat close to the invigilation desk
"Everybody stay calm, I'm going to call 911 okay?" she said as she began dialing from under her desk
"What the fuck is going on, " said Suis as he lay down flat
"Oh god, oh god, I need to call my mom, we argued this morning," said Sally as she started to crawl to the back to get her bag and collect her phone.
all students are supposed to keep their phones in their bags.
With this, everybody started crawling to the back of the class to get their phones and either call their parents or 911
While the scrambling was going on, another thunderous bang coursed through the whole school, the person had shot again!
The students rushed for their bags after screaming,
"Everybody please be calm, please," said Mrs Angel
Philemon got up
"I need someone to help me move the chairs and desks to barricade the entrance," he said
A few people looked at him like he was crazy
"Now guys, please!" he screamed
Josh and Salas got up and pushed the desks to block the doors and Sulli and a few girls started stacking up chairs on the desks to block it too
I, Andrew, and Berny got up and walked to get our bags at the back, we were the only ones standing in the class
"Are you guys okay?!" shouted Sally
"get down now" whispered Sulli
I walked to the back and picked up my fencing bag, brought out the bulletproof vest from my backpack and the class went silent
"Dabelu! Andrew! Berny! Get down right this instant!" whispered Mrs Angel as she pushed the barricaded door with her back to wedge it even more
She was about to talk again when she finally realized why everyone was silently watching us
Andrew started wearing his knee pads and his fighting gloves, Berny was wearing his football clothes and carrying his helmet in his hands, Mrs Angel watched us in confusion and shock.
Andrew brought out the soldier Bulletproof vest and helmet and I did some stretching and I was ready.
Andrew and Berny were suited up and waiting for me
"What the fuck are you guys doing," Asked Celeste as she crawled towards us
"This is stupid," said Sulli as she also crawled quickly towards me
"So what do you want to do huh?" asked Sally as she hid under the table by the edge of the class
"Go and fight the shooter with swords, karate, and football?" she whispered
