Chapter one: October 30 2020

Politic. Political? Politician? No, none of those fit. I was writing a poem inspired from the morning news... something about the new president and the president of Korea tryna make a deal... none of those words rhymed. Meh I'll finish it later. I walk into the school building looking up at the bleachers searching for my group. It was the day before Halloween so everyone was in the spooky spirit. I didn't really have any plans for Halloween, so it wasn't a big deal like it used to be. Not very many of my groups members were on the bleachers yet, huh that's weird I guess my bus came early today, no big deal. I sit next to Trin and look at the doors where everyone came in, I saw leigh Ann walking in with Chad following her, usually they'd come In before me. No big deal. They walk up the bleachers and Hayden walks through the door, and he walks up the bleachers too. The day proceeds as normal, boring as ever..... no drama or anything yet.... everything was now calm.... and everyone was nice to each other. Mostly. I wouldn't be surprised if things flared up again, what would it be this time? Who knows, but whatever happens I'm stayin outa it.
As I'm walking to my 3rd period class, American History, I noticed the teachers all huddled up together talking violently with worried faces... the principal and vice principal where there....
"Wha- wait what's going on?" I say under my breath as I walk by, I noticed that I had been staring at them for longer than I should have, one of them turned around and looked at me.
"Shouldn't you be gettin to class young lady," one lady said as they all glared at me.
"U-um.... yes ma'am, sorry," I say softly. What? What was that? What is going on. Should I be worried about this? No. No. Stop worrying about it. Some kid probably just got in trouble. Stop overthinking. But I couldn't stop thinking about it, a teacher wasn't in our class room until the last 20 minutes of class, and that's when I knew something was up.... they had us do a bomb drill....
I've never been apart of a bomb drill, we've never had to practice those. We've never had a bomb threat, and how would the bomb reach us anyway? The teacher instructed us to get under the tables as the loud speakers produced a loud and raspy alarm. Some students are crying, some silent with fear.. I barely knew anyone in this class, so I took out my phone and text Leigh Ann.
Are you guys okay? I sent her a text. She responded almost immediately.
Ya wbu?
That's good, yea I'm good, do u know what's going on? I typed as fast as I could, I switched to Hayden's contact and texted him. Hey, are you okay? Do u know why we're having a bomb drill? He texts back.
Yea I'm fine, idk what is going one. Are you okay?
Yea im okay but- BOOM! I dropped by phone on the concrete and hit my head on the besk. I look up and people start running and someone opens the door and people spew out of the classroom quicker than i could stand up. I grab my phone and i see leigh Ann text me.
Go straight to the band room!! Me and Hayden and Kyle are already here and a few others!! Hurry!
I jump to my feet and run to the door. Kids are screaming and running like chickens with their heads cut off i could barley get out of the class room. I squeeze my way into the crowd struggling to get to the band room. The school keeps shaking over and over non stop and people are falling everywhere. BOOM BOOM BOOM!! I get knocked to the ground and everyone is stepping on my hands and kicking me, someones runs into my head and my ears start to ring and everything goes blury. Then some one picks me up and sets me on my feet. They grab my hand so I dont fall over again... I look up and try to look at the person who just saved me and all i could see was theyre hair... Long straight and black.... It was leigh ann.. She pulled me through the crowd and i still couldnt see. We turn right and things stsrt to get more quiet and i hear a door open then close. We stand still and the voices are now faint. I hear people run over to me all talking and asking questions at one. I started to get dizzy and i couldnt keep my balance. Everything soon goes dark and i feel myself fall over as i fall into a dead sleep that feels as though it was forever....
