(Zulaykha)
"Attention, students of Los Angeles High School. Due to an unfortunate incident, school will be cancelled. I repeat, school will be cancelled for the rest of the day." there was an announcement coming through the speakers.
I ran out of the classroom and bumped into Arlo.
"Hey! Watch where you're going, Zucchini." Arlo said, jokingly. "Are you going to that party today?"
Huh?
"A-Arlo... Someone is dying!" I said.
A student was dying in the classroom and Arlo was only worried about a party?!
"That's sad... But hey, it's the weekend. That student would want us to be happy instead of grieving over his death." Arlo said.
I glared at Arlo and shook my head. I quickly headed out of the school as I called my brother on my iPhone 7, telling him to come pick me up.
