Cassidy POV

Every now and then, I can hear people whispering.

"Stay silent!" Mrs. Copil whispers. We are hiding in the very back of the class behind a row of desks. The lights are out, all the blinds are closed, and the door is locked.

Suddenly someone bumps into me. "Ouch!" I whisper/yell. The class shushes me, and then the guy who bumped into me turns to look at me, and says he's sorry.

"I'm so sorry!! Are you ok!?" He exclaims a little louder then he should be. He has the weirdest voice that I've ever heard! The class then shushes us again, and the guy pulls out a piece of paper and starts writing something on it. Then he passes it to me.

It says:
My name is Chaz, I just started coming here this year. And just so you know, I promise that I won't hit on you, because I'm gay! But I understand if you don't like me, I get that a lot! Nice meeting you! :D

I knew it! He's gay, I could tell by his voice! He seems like a nice kid, so I decide to write back:

My name is Cassidy, and I just started going to this school this year too! I'm straight, but i think that you seem pretty cool! Wanna hang out during lunch, if they let us out before lunch time!?

P.S: my number is 253-997-7652. Text me when you get the chance!  ;p

I pass the piece of paper back to him and he smiles, and starts writing. When he hands it back I read:

    Coolioes!! Sounds like a plan! I will love to meet your friends!!!!

After I finish reading it I put the note down and smile at him. Then we just sit in silence for a few seconds.

*BANG*

A bullet comes through the window on the door. Everyone covers their heads and tries to stay hidden, I can tell that some people are holding in a scream! Including me. Mrs. Copil looks towards the door with the newly shattered window. I can tell that she is holding her breath hoping that the person who shot that gun didn't care to search for victims.

The silence has returned, but occasionally I hear a gun shot. I really hope that no one has been hurt!
----------------------------------------------------
I take out my phone and check the time, it's 4:45pm, school should've ended like three hours ago! How come there are no cops coming to save us!?

I decide that since I have my phone out, I dial 911. And press the call button.

"Hello, what's your emergency!?" A lady answers.

"Their is a psycho in my school, he has a gun, and he has used it a few times!" I whisper/shout.

"Ok, what is your school's address? And who are you!?" The lady replies calmly.

"The address is 1267 Fred Jensen's LN, 87216, my name is Cassidy Brooks, I am a Junior." I say confidently.

"Ok m'am, just stay put, we will be there as soon as we can!" The lady shouts, then hangs up the phone.
