Today is a thursday, October 31 to be exact, also known as Halloween. It's about 11:30 am, everything seems to be as any other boring day at Ms.Mendez's math class. "Thank god this is my last year at high school" it's mostly all I can think about. Everyone just keeps talking about the Halloween dance, dang this people like to talk. I want the dance to happen as well, but there is no need to talk about it 24/7.
By now it's already 12:00, out of nowhere the class speaker starts making a noise, it's the principle. "I'm very sorry to say, that classes for the rest of the day will be canceled, due to a message by our president" he said. Everyone started gasping, and then he continued "the message is not exactly known, but there is a red alert. Then out of the blues our vice-principal enters our classroom, he says "because the message is not confirmed, the dance is still on" he leaves by slamming the door. All our teacher says is "everyone pack up, it's time to leave".
Everyone does as told an evacuates the building. On my way home I realize i'm going to be in much trouble if a message was not sent to my house explaining why i'm there so early. When I get home my mom is just arriving and my brother on his way. My mom and I ask each other at the same time "do you know what the red alert is about?!".I wanted to laugh so badly but I saw the feeling of fear in my mother's eyes.
My mother is not someone to be afraid , so I knew something was wrong. That's when I found out my mom knew something , but she had doubts about it happening. I decided not to bother her and just deal with my math homework . By now its 1;30 pm, my mom calls my brother and me, to eat. I still could see fear in my mother's eyes, and I know my brother could see it as well.
A couple of hours later...Now it's 4:30 pm "time to start getting ready" says my mother. Even though the dance is at 6;30 my mother insist I start getting ready. When im in my final product : hair down to almost my hips black and red curls , long black , gray and red dress and the most dramatic makeup i've ever seen. I don't know how she did it but now it's exactly 6;25. As soon as my mother says done "done" , my company for the dance arrives and rings the doorbell.
After we arrive at the dance I could see everyone was astonished by our costumes. After 2 hours of dancing , talking and contest , Grayson(my company to the dance) and I decide to leave. When he drops me of at home , as we reach the door our phones start vibrating , when we check ii was a message explaining what the red alert was about...the purge. When we enter home my mother starts yelling "we have to leave , we have to leave ' over and over again.
I decide to verify if it's true or a prank . But then it hit me...I left my purse at the Halloween dance under my table. As I run out the house , pulling Grayson out with me by saying "will be right back!". Grayson and I run to the school as fast as we can but I hesitate , because of my heels. As we arrive we could hear the volume of the music lowering and someone starting to speak on the microphone.
When we get inside we saw the principle verifying the message given by our president. "The message by our president has been confirmed..."
