about half way through English, the teacher told us to choose a partner for an assignment. As soon as the teacher finished her sentence, I felt someone grab my hand. Kai looked at me and squeezed my hand.

"partner?" he asked

"well. it looks like I have no choice, if I say no, you'd probably break my hand" I joke.

suddenly, we heard gunshots.

Kai pulled me under the table while the gunshots got closer. ear-piercing screams rattled the hallways. we could hear the Gunmen getting closer. Kai squeezed my hand

"The gunman is going to come in. even if you are shot or not, act dead. trust me, it will save you".

I nodded. Tears were running down my face, I was so scared.

We saw the Gunman at the door. his black rifle ready. He was clothed in white with multiple red stains.

blood stains.

He took no hesitation to start firing. There was no sorrow in his eyes when he shot down the students and the teacher. Bullets ricocheted from the walls and the tables. I acted like I had been shot, just like Kai had told me. I was hoping that he was ok.
