Ship Life

Part 1: Just an Ordinary Day

Part 1: Just an Ordinary Day

I, Ricca, was off to my school. I had to go to school for December 21. (Please don't think about the end of the world. I didn't notice I was writing this date at all.) All of the schools in the world had to go to school on that day. I wouldn't have to make an excuse or something. The principal told us to bring our everyday things. Even we had to bring 20 bags of food, clothes, detergent and soap and other everyday things. She told us it was school camping or bonding day. I don't really remember what she said. So we had to bring a lot of stuff.

I arrived to school. Everybody was there. All of the students noticed new facilities like lockers, pantries, a lot of school materials and even more rooms. (From December 15 to 21. How fast did they even build this?!) Our teachers said that we will sleep in our classrooms. I was happy. We had a T.V. also.

After a few hours, I watched the at T.V. alone. I saw the news that there will be a big tsunami which will end the world. (What?!) After I heard this, I rang the school's bell. I warned everybody that the end of the world is today. I told them to stay in the school campus and stay in their rooms. Everybody followed except for Jan Vier. He asked me, "What is going on Ricca?"

"I saw on the news that there will be a big tsunami which will end the world today," I replied to him. (Wow this really sounds stupid. Why did I put that there?!)

"What are we going to do?" He asked in panic.

"Don't worry I built a ship surrounding the school," I replied to him. Jan Vier was bewildered.

"The principal and the school council helped me in this project," I answered in a very sure way. "We're safe."

Soon, everybody closed the doors and windows. They all saw the tsunami, too. It struck the school and made a very loud clash and there was also an earthquake, too. The earthquake and the tsunami made cracks and the school turned into a ship. It took time until everything stoped. Then that time came. It was so quiet. Everybody in each room opened thw windows and doors and looked outside. It was practically empty. The whole place outside the ship was basically water. No land at all. At least the principal was safe to hear no one was left in the water. I rang the bell again to tell everybody to assemble in the school grounds. One child child approached me and said, "What will happen to our parents?"

I replied with a sad look on my face, "Sorry to say this but I didn't know it was the end of the world today."

The child cried after I said that. The principal planned to make a funeral for our loved ones and for all the people who died on that day. Everybody cried. There was complete silence in the whole ship. A lot of us were crying so heavily. Even me. (This is so SAD!!! I'm even crying too!)

After all of this silence, everybody recovered from the crying and proceded going back to their classroom. I roamed around the school and checked the classrooms if there was pillows and school materials. Each classroom had. I checked if there were still a lot of stools and tables. We lost 30 stools. I have a plan though. If I find anything floating in the water, I'll catch it with a net.

Good thing everybody brought their uniforms so we will wear them on a specific day. I looked inside everybody's lockers and nothing was inside them. I told the students that they should put their personal belongings inside. Anyway, I was also thiking, did anybody bring their phones?
