Shooting

I was at school, except the campus wasn't Mendez, it was some huge place that was my school but I had never seen it before. Everyone was talking about how there was going to be a school shooting later. I was with Leslie in front of this big car garage thing shaped as a half circle. It was a tan color and t was midday. The campus was huge, like a college campus basically. The black pavement paths going through the buildings and grass everywhere. Everyone knew it was going to happen. Everyone was standing in front where I was. We were at the edge/end of the semicircle garage where there was a small fence on top of it. I was talking with Leslie, who is wearing a black shirt and jeans with her hair down and glasses on. She is to my right leaning of the fence border behind us. I tell her, "When it starts I'm just gonna run over there." And I pointed to my right in the distance of the campus. (it felt like the hunger games kinda. And the garage was the cornucopia). Se responded relentlessly, "yeah I'm just gonna run." I thought to myself for a second, since the  'shooter' was going to come out of the garage, what if the shooter comes out somewhere randomly in the campus? We waited a while, and it was getting a bit cloudy, until everyone just started moving immediately to the left and I heard a few screams from the crowd. I knew I was gonna go right, but I hesitated for a second and just went with the crowd to the left. We were all running, not knowing where the shooter was at, being very cautious as we moved. The crowed had kind of seperated now into large groups. And as mine moved kind of behind everyone else at a fast pace, I looked across some grass past a brick building to spot another group. This group was particularly small, but I couldn't see all of them, I could only see faith and (I think Allison) running to the left on a path, ahead of their group. I looked back to the front of my group (including Leslie as we ran, everyone's goal was to get to the front gates and escape. While suddenly, we saw a group ahead of ours get shot down quickly while two of them were still standing, they were immediately terminated. We finally saw the shooter with a M14. We all turned the other way, as I saw that faiths group was relatively close to the one that was attacked. Her group joined ours as they crossed over the grass and in one large crowd again we ran to an area full of pavement somewhere on the right side still (Like I said, big campus).  The crowd kept running as we passed by a tunnel in the ground you had to go down. A large number of us dashed over to it and started winding down the ridiculously long, spiral, ramp. Everyone had to be in single file or in twos since the ramp wasn't that wide and people didn't want to fall down the empty center down onto the concrete on the bottom. I knew we weren't moving fast enough even though we were trying to hurry. I tried to go as fast as I could but there were people in front of me. Out of nowhere, shots were being fired down at us, and killed almost all of us. I hurried down the steps VERY quickly watching out for some of the bodies of those that were shot. One more round was made as the few people left with me are taken down in an instant. I'm almost to the bottom, still untouched by the violent grasp of a bullet.
