Dad: What do you think?

Alex: It's your hair haha

Dad: Do whatever you want with it

Alex: Ok then

Alex takes her snakebites off then puts on black lipstick. she puts them back on then puts black makeup across her eyes. Once she's done, they go in the garage. They take out their guns and bullets from the trunk of the car and start loading them. They put the bullet magazines in a pouch behind the motorcycle and in Alex's backpack. They attach the pistols to a belt, both of them have three each. Alex attaches two axes on her bullet proof vest then puts it on while putting the other two axes on the side of her pants. Her dad puts his vest on then grabs a duffle bag and puts the assault rifles in them along with chains and locks. They both put jackets on and zip them up to cover the weapons

Dad: Ready?

She nods as he gets on the motorcycle and starts it, he has the duffle bag in front of him. Alex opens the garage door then hops on the bike behind him while holding onto his waist tightly. They take off. They park on top of a hill behind the school. He gets off and looks at the school. Alex starts to shake as she sits there. She gets off the bike then starts catching her breath. Her dad goes up to her. He puts his hands on her cheeks and rests his head on hers. She puts her hands on his

Alex: I have to tell you something

Dad: I know

She looks at him

Alex: You know?

He nods

Alex: How?

Dad: You're not good at hiding things from me

He smiles

Dad: Anything to make you happy sweetheart

She hugs him, he hugs back

Her dad picks up the duffle bag as they walk down the hill and to one of the doors where they chain and lock it. They go to all the doors, chained, and locked them. Everyone was in class. They go to the main entrance and enter where they chain and lock it from the inside. They look at each other
