I whip around to find that a table was on fire.
The flaming table was right next to ours.
Before I know it the flame leaps to our table.

"Molly!" Joseph calls, right behind me.
The fire alarm starts to blare.
The noise is too much.
I instantly receive a pounding headache.
The burning smell becomes more intense.

"MOLLY!" I vaguely hear Joseph yell.
The last thing I hear is the teacher telling everyone to evacuate.
Then everything goes black.
