"Open up the door! I know you're all hiding in there!"
No one says a thing, for fear of getting shot.
I put my hand over my mouth, trying not to make any noises. I try to keep my breathing even so that I lessen the chance of gulping for air while everyone else in the classroom is quiet. (That took like 5 tries to spell. I swear I can't spell quiet.)
There's banging the door and you can hear some quiet gasps. I close my eyes, surprised I didn't close them earlier. I feel Arlon hug me tighter, probably for his own sake, because I definitely didn't ask him to hug me that tight.
I can hear a table scrape on the floor.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are! I just want to find you kids!" the man says.
The classroom door creaks open a slight amount and I hear the clicking of a gun.
I snap my eyes open and look to the ceiling.
Worst case scenario we all get shot and die. Best thing that could happen is that he misses and we all live happily ever after.
That was my thoughts until the gunshots started.
