"We have to go upstairs!" Ozzie stated, "We have to hide."
"Follow me," Jonah stated, "Everyone follow me."
He grabbed onto my hand but I saw Adrian push him hard and grab a hold of me. Adrian had pushed Jonah hard into the lockers. I could hear Jonah's body slamming onto the back of the lockers. Ozzie and Rebecca were looking on just as shocked as I was.
"Fuck that Quashie's coming with me."
"You are joking right?" I asked.
"She has a gun, she's killing people," Jonah told Adrian, "Is this the time for you to be having your little jealous rant?"
I couldn't believe he called Adrian out like that especially in front of Rebecca and Ozzie. People were panicking. People were running and he was pushing Jonah? What the fuck!
"Run..." Rebecca stated, "We have to go."
"Not with him. He knew about it. Didn't you see his face?" Adrian stated, "He FUCKING knew she was going to do this! That was what this assembly is about."
"No!" Jonah stated.
"WHO GIVES A FUCK! SHE'S DOING IT!" I stated, "I'm not following anyone. You guys can fucking follow me!"
I didn't wait around to listen to any thing else they had to say. I could see people pushing past one another to the other side of the hallway. It was madness! I had never seen panic like this. We ran towards the stairwell and that was when we heard gunshots.
"Oh my god! That's a machine gun."
"How the fuck did she get an machine gun?" Adrian asked.
I still didn't care at this point. The guns were followed by screaming. It was getting close to us. It wasn't normal screaming. These were screams of...death. The sounds began to scar my mind. I found it hard to breathe.
"Upstairs," Oozie stated, "All the doors are blocked and downstairs has barred windows."
"Barred windows?" Adrian asked.
"There were robberies. They were installed last year. The upper floors don't have any bars. We can jump down."
Adrian shook his head, "Way too high."
"Well I'm going," I stated, "I'm not sitting here waiting to die."
I started running. I could feel my adrenaline kicking in. What the fuck was going on? Lauren had it gotten this bad? Had she already killed people? Rebecca said she did. She couldn't come back from this now. It was too late.
Her life was over.
Now it was about my life. It was about Ozzie. It was about Jonah! Hell it was even about Adrian. I had to make sure everyone was safe. Who knew what was going through Lauren's mind.
"Quashie! Over here! Come over here."
I hadn't even recognized the voice as we ran upstairs. Upstairs had a lot less chaos then downstairs. We had to run to the top floor to escape the chaos. It was just a minute or two but it felt like a lifetime. People pushing past one another. There was this scent. There was this scent of death all around us.
"Quashie!"
I turned around in circles panicking and then I saw him. I saw Jackie waving his hand at me. I lead the others towards where Jackie was.
Jackie let us in the room and barricaded the door behind him. As we ran in we saw that it was Jackie and Aaryn in the room. It was a science room. I had never been in a science room before.
As we ran in the room I was surprised when Jackie immediately hugged me.
"God you are ok," he stated.
