The Empty School

Today was the first day back from winter break. As I approached the school, I noticed that there was not a car in sight. It was still snowy and cold outside, so not much people would walk. This was weird. As I enter the school, I still see no one. The school was quite that day. A little too quiet. I started walking to my class, not seeing a soul. As I grew closer to my class, I could hear a faint hum in the distance. I reached my class, and the hum was even louder now. Since that was the only sign of life, I decided to go look for the source of this hum. As I got closer to the hum, my heart started to race. Whatever it was, was right around the corner. I turn the corner slowly, peeking my head first. It was the janitor. I asked him where everyone was and he told me we had a 2-hour-delay. I look at my phone, which was on silent and saw the messages.
