(Zulaykha)
Wind was blowing furiously through the whole room. My belongings were falling everywhere.
"Hana!" I yelled. "Make her stop!"
We had angered Alma. Now I know why Hana couldn't just come out and tell people the truth or stop following Alma's orders. It wasn't that easy. Alma isn't easy to talk to.
Suddenly, everything had stopped. There was a knock at the door.
"Zu?" It was Ziyad. "There's two visitors. What are you guys doing in there?"
Ziyad pushed the door open with all his strength, moving the bed a little, but enough for him to enter the room.
He looked around in confusion. "Uhhh..."
"We were just play fighting." Yasir quickly said. Ziyad rolled his eyes.
"Seriously, guys." he said. "You're seniors now. Grow up."
And with that, Ziyad left the room. Yasir and I sighed of relief as we collapsed onto the bed that had been out of place.
Yuki and Arlo had entered the room. Yuki had a shocked, scared, and confused expression on her face. I knew she saw the bed move by itself. Does this mean we will now have to explain the calamity to Yuki?
Yuki opened her mouth to say something, but just then... The window had busted in.
The glass flew towards Yuki, but she moved out of the way.
She looked at all of the glass in disbelief.
"No..." she said. "I'm not next... I don't want to die!" Yuki ran out of the room.
Does she already know about the calamity?
