It's Monday now. My phone keeps going off in English. When my teacher has her back to me, I check it. 25 messages from Dan.

Dan: help
Dan: I'm bored
Dan: save me
Dan: I can't take algebra anymore.
Dan: yo
Dan: where you at
Dan: your such a goody goody
Dan: keeping your phone away for class
Dan: I see how it is

And so on and so on. I bite my laugh to keep from laughing. I look up again and see my teacher is leaving the room, shutting the door behind her. There's a loud sound outside the window. Probably a branch falling. look over and see the snow swirling around outside. It's been snowing for three days straight. I look back down to text Dan when it goes dark. The powers out.

Me: dude the powers out. Pray we get out early
Dan: shut up
Me: that would be awesome though!
Dan: no stop texting me
Dan: someone's outside the door. And we have to be quiet.
Dan: my phone keeps lighting up.
Me: where are you?
Dan: under the table
Me: fun game.

I jump when there's a loud bang on the door. Not a soft knock. But like someone took a fist to the door. It's dark so I turn my brightness up enough to see a student heading to the door.

Someone's whispers for him to "get his ass back here." But the kid argues that it's probably the teacher. I hold my breath so long that I can hear my heart beating. Everyone so quiet it's disturbing. It feels as though I can hear my blood rushing through my veins. My body crouches down slightly in my desk. Time needs to stop.

The kid opens the door.

  You're gonna hate me.
