The laser is in my head. Just stuck there. I can see the bullet slowly approaching somehow. Somehow I can see myself on a third person view and everybody else. Nobody is reacting to it. Maybe they don't have sharp eyes and ears like me, but then again, I'm not physically reacting to the shot.
A few more seconds passed and people started reacting. Everybody took cover but me, Bea, Damon, Salvador and Toby. The bullet pierces through the glass and I can hear it breaking. Toby's tray falls and I'm already ready to get shot. I hear people yelling. I turn around and the scenario I see is the one I didn't expect...
***
Several months have passed. Pakistan and India have finally reached an agreement and there was no war. The bugs, microfilms and statues wemt back to their normal state. Everybody has settle down and the two countries are like best friends now. And all because Toby took the bullet for me.
Ok, so I might have lied... I knew what happened but I like suspense, and I think you also liked it. So thanks for reading my story!
