"A hurricane watch has been put in effect. A newly forming hurricane is in the Atlantic ocean heading towards Florida, that is thought to head up the east coast."
Meghan sighed, she seemed to be doing that a lot lately.
"Did you get the text?" Alli asked frantically once Meghan got to school. "Yeah, I think everyone got it." "Yeah well everyone is talking about it." Meghan rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about it, it'll probably miss us anyways." Alli looked worried. "Come on, let's just get through the day first." "ok." She whispered quietly. They walked into school silently, not exchanging words.
Meghan was worried about Alli. Alli was scared of literally everything, especially storms, since living on the coast they get a lot occasionally. She usually helped Alli get through these things when they happened.
Several talks and texts were exchanged during the day between classes. Everyone was talking about the hurricane, and the clowns. The clowns still, like what. Anybody Meghan knew, she would talk to them and tell them not to say anything. All day was literally caos. Hurricane talk and clown talk, non stop.
There was an emergency assembly as the end of the day. The principal decided to speak out about the newly forming hurricane and the fading clown incident.
"The hurricane has been named. It is Hurricane Matthew. At the moment it is only a category two, but is expected to move higher in the next few days." Small gasps sounded through the seats in which everyone was seated. "The clown incident has been confirmed as a hoax, no details will be spared, I want everyone to stay calm and remember it is just a prank. The people who were doing this were just portraying an upcoming movie." Screams sounded throughout the auditorium as people panicked about an upcoming clown movie. "We are now going to release everyone home, please be safe." The assembly ended just as quickly as it had started.
The kids talked about everything on the way home, some cried, fearing the safety of their life.
Meghan got on the bus and sat in a seat by herself. She pulled out her phone and put her earbuds in, drowning the world out once again.
