“Hey, are you okay? What’s wrong?” a teacher came up to him

“Nothing. Mr. Cruz, I’m fine. I just tripped. I think it was that crack over there.”  He pointed as he stand and went on walking.

They were on the road walking on one side. Then Victor noticed how windy it is today. Cheska shivered as the wind began to felt cold. Inoh looked at JM and gave him a thumb up, signaling if he’s okay. JM looked back and gave a smirk. Abigail was in front because she was assigned leader to lead them where to go. Right next to them was the semi-truck holding the construction supplies. JM said to himself. “Something’s wrong…” Then suddenly one of the pigeons pooped and it landed on the windshield of the semi-truck. The driver tried to wipe it out using the wiper but it only smeared more covering up the view of the driver. Panicking inside, the driver went in to the lane were the parade is going. It was 5 meters away from the parade and the truck immediately screeched to a halt to avoid accident. But as it stopped, the metal bars glided backwards, fast, and it pierced Abigail, who was in front of the parade, right in the face and in the stomach. Not only did the metal bars slipped but some hollow blocks came falling. The car behind the truck wheeled on to the rubble causing a tire to blow and made it spin out of control. The car then hits a student and a teacher right into a brick wall. JM was stunned and he immediately searched for his friends getting them to safety. In panic, the students ran back to the school. Some avoided the cars, others weren’t so lucky. Cars from behind are crashing into one another. As JM looked closely were Victor is, he was running and avoiding the other cars. The van with the cables almost hit JM but he was able to avoid them. The van turned left and right to avoid other vehicles especially the students that are running, when the cable slipped and dropped on the road. Inoh was running towards the side walk when his foot was caught on the cables and it dragged him along where the van is going. He was swinging from left to right, hitting one car to another. Then he got loose. His feet were badly bruised and he can’t stand up. In pain, he crawled slowly to one side but then a jeep came rushing towards him. The driver didn’t notice him, when its wheels rolled on his head. Cheska was able to see JM. She ran towards him. “Help, JM!” she shouted. JM saw her and he also ran towards her. “I’m coming!” he answered back. As he came closer to her, he noticed a car behind her, almost running her over. “Look out!” he warned. Just in time, she glanced at her back, rolled to her right and avoided the car. The car then hits a heavy metal lamp post. JM signaled her again to run to him. She was almost there when JM realized that the lamp post was falling right above her. Once again he warned Cheska but it was too late. The lamp post hit her hard at the back, splitting her spines in half. JM, who was again stunned as he witnessed 3 of his friends die, desperately finds Victor so he could save him. JM was almost at the school. As he reached the gate, it was locked. He finds another way to get inside when he spotted a ladder, which is from the cable van. He placed it in front of the gate and began climbing. Victor had also finally reached the gate.

“C’mon. Hurry up! I don’t want to die.” Victor shouted

“I’m almost there…” JM said as he reached the top of the ladder

Just a few meters away from them, was the truck with the propane tanks. It skidded towards were Victor was standing. It hit him hard, causing the barrier of metal that holds the gas together, to break open and let Victor to roll on the ground. As the truck finally stopped, and Victor facing the back of the truck, the tanks rolled and brutally crushed him in his chest, face and legs. JM was about to go over when the 16 wheeler truck with the flammable gas inside, hits the propane tanks causing a big fireball explosion, engulfing JM with it. The whole accident was gruesome. Blood, rubbles, steel plates, chunks of internal and external organs, smoke and fire were everywhere. As JM’s body dropped dead and his skin burned to a crisp, the scene just zoomed and flashed in front of JM’s eyes. He was breathing heavily while walking, when suddenly he tripped and hurt his right knee. Suddenly, his eyes widened. Have I seen this before? He wondered. Then a teacher came up to him. “Hey, are you okay? What’s wrong?”

It was Mr. Cruz. JM didn’t answer. He was feeling paranoid. He did not know what to do.
