Thunder and lightning cracked and boomed across the sky.
"Wow. This storm is pretty intense." I said, speaking over the war raging in the sky.
"That one was only a kilometre away," Ciara commented, counting underneath her breath.
"Do you think we'll get hit?" I ask nervously. "I mean, we're in the highest building in the school..."
"Nah, we'll be fine." She said as she ruffled my spiky, copper pixie cut.
"Hey! You know I hate it when you do that!"
"Girls, are you paying attention?" Mr Goshon asked.
"Sorry! We can't hear you over the storm!" I half-shouted.
"I know!" He replied. "We might have to send you lot home!"
I worriedly glanced at the window as I saw a flicker of orange out of the side of my eye.
"As I was saying," Mr Goshon continued with the class, "the tre-" he cut off as yet another roll of thunder echoed throughout the sky. "I give up," he said, raising his hands in surrender. "Do you own thing until recess."
The class's cheers were drowned out by the cracks of lightning and booms of thunder as the heat of the storm gradually drew nearer.
I looked outside and saw twigs and branches flying everywhere, suddenly remembering the massive tree directly next this room.
I was trying to concentrate on what Ciara was saying, but I was so worried.
"... Then like the fences got blown over - I mean, i was terrified!" She finished.
"Sorry, Ciara - I wasn't listening," I said sheepishly.
"That's fine. I was just talking about when There was a mini-tornado near our house."
"Ohh. I remember that."
A bright orange caught my eye as the tree next to our classroom was hit and a fire started, despite the rain. "Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt." I said, as the tree started falling... towards us!
"Everyone - GET OUT NOW!" Mr Goshon shouted - but it was too late. The class had been hit and the walls and roof were crumbling in what seemed like slow motion.
Then everything was black.
