Chapter 3

We had to move quickly and adapt. I knew this but others didn't. "Hurry. Follow me," I told those coming behind me. Truthfully there wasn't a way to prevent disaster. But we could still try to endure it.

IF we acted quickly.

"Wait, don't move so fast Shun!" Miss Asakura said, trying to keep up in her shoes. Her pantyhose had torn somehow while we were dodging debris in the halls, trying to move. Honestly how did she seem so cool before? Before she was always the epitome of the students' view of what being smooth and flawless was...

Well actually she was as amazing as the other students though. But right now she was more concerned with trying to not get caught in the mess of broken concrete and exposed rebar sticking out around us as we moved through rubble. Concrete dust is also still snowing down in places where the building is damaged.

But knowing what to do in a disaster and actually doing it aren't the same. For example it was dark. I had the only light, out of the 3 of us. Both Asakura, and Yumi were struggling in the dark, having to go by my light and stay with me.

Huh, why aren't their cellphone lights working? My light works but theirs doesn't...? How strange.

Asakura wasn't the only one that had gotten scraped up and dusty. All three of us had gotten dirt from the ceiling debris on us. We were also trying to maneuver around the ruins of the school. As we looked around everything was a wreck. The building seemed to somehow be holding itself up. However, when you looked at all the exposed guts of the ceiling you wondered how that could even be possible.

But there is rebar and broken concrete all over the place. It does feel that a lot of the halls are still strong enough to hold up, but...it looks awful.

"Wow. This is way worse than what Tanagawa said. She made it sound like everything was cool and fine," Yumi added in support.

"She was blinded by the idea of no homework maybe," I said.

"You think she'd do that?" Sensei asked, carefully.

"That would be tempting," Yumi noted.

"Dang it, maybe I've been too lenient. Extra homework for sure after that gets resolved," Asakura muttered.

"Well...it's no homework, would you be tempted?" I replied carefully.

"Sigh. You're right. That does sound like a good deal to a kid," she shook her head sadly.

"Please don't punish the rest of us," Yumi pleaded earnestly.

We were having to dodge stuff while moving carefully. Lots of ceiling tiles and supports were hanging down. Plus pipes had fallen from the fake ceiling that was underneath the real ceiling. It was also dusty and the air not so great in some places. And the darkness caused by rubble blocking out light coming into the building around us made it more terrifying.

A pipe had even leaded a bunch of water from the second floor down in some places. It was probably water from the bathrooms above, and even though it looked clean I hopped over the small pools.

People also didn't want to go outside because it was warmer inside the school than outside maybe, I suddenly thought.

"We need to keep moving," I reminded them.
