School Of Death

#4

Another fifteen minutes go by and Coach Vinson is still not here.

" I don't even know why I bothered putting my hair up. " I say to Layla as I reach back to take it out.

She puts her hand on mine, " I think you should keep it up. " she smiles, and takes my hand. I tighten my ponytail and grab her hand.

We stand there listening to the girls who surround us gossiping. They have something on everyone, even each other. Listening to them talk like that is so annoying.

" Oh, look who just shows up after half an hour. " Layla nudes my arm and points to the floor.

Everyone starts getting loud and yelling at Coach Vinson as he walks in from outside. Some people even threw there pens and pencils at him. Out of all the teachers in the school he's the most hated, and should be fired except for the fact his daughter is the principal. Every kid in here could write a book on why they hate him and have them all be simpler.

" Everybody in there gym out fits? " he yells from the floor, and turns around to see. " Good. Girls come down first, "

Being right by the stairs Layla starts down to the floor, I follow her with every other girl behind me. It's hard to walk down the stairs in our regular shoes, so they have us all shoes with a trip on the bottom, much harder.

We finally get to the floor and quickly spread out into our different spots. Standing there waiting quietly for the boys to come down the stairs and stand across from us.

" Okay, so today we're playing. Dodge ball. " Yells Coach Vinson, getting everyone's hopes up.

Now with everyone excited for dodge ball, I look at my watch to check what time, and another kid yells, " We can't play dodge ball you waisted all our time! " and then the bell rang and everyone went to their classes.

I was walking trying to wait for Layla, when a two girls passed by, " I kinda feel bad for him, I mean everyone really wanted him. " And as she said that I wondered why he ended up here.

" Kisha. " I hear whining from behind me, " I don't want to goto science class, it's the worst. " Layla wines some more, as she now walks next to me.

I pat her shoulder and walk a little faster, seeing if she noticed that I could care less. She then speeds up to me giving me the look that says it all, she knew I didn't care but she was going to complain anyway.
I will my eyes and smile at her, " Well... " I encourage her to continue with her complaining. " Go on. "
She chuckles a little, grabs my hand, and continued, " We have a stupid science test! " she groans trying so hard not to cuss. " And I suck at science! "

I look at her not bothering to tell her that we actually don't have a science test, and that it had been cancelled. I let her keep ranting, because everyone around us hates it, which is really funny. Everyone trying not to yell at her for two reasons, one they don't want to get in trouble with a teacher, and two they don't want to get in trouble with me. So they just keep walking, trying not to burst out yelling.

" Mhm. " I turn to face Layla as we walk into the classroom, we where early and so no one else was there.

" Your not even listening, are you? " she lets go of my hand.

I look down and then look back at her real slow, " No. " I squeak, as she pushes me away with a smile on her face, and one on mine as well.

We went and sat in our seats waiting for the rest of our class, studying for the test that we don't have. During the silence of me and Layla just sitting there I hear the fire alarm go off and Ray rushing into the room, " Kish!? " he stops to breath for a second and runs over to me putting a gas mask over my face, " That's all I have now we need to get out of here, you to. " he look behind me at Layla.

He had grabbed my hand and Layla ran after us, rushing to the nearest exit. We ran and ran until I turn around to see Layla holding a window open in a classroom. I jerk Ray's hand and pull him to the window where Layla is. She goes through, then I force Ray to go, then I go closing the window behind me.

As I rip the mask off my face Layla comes and hugs me and so does Ray, and I try to wrap both my arms around them both. " Kids! " I hear someone call out from behind Ray and Layla. " Are you alright?! " the principal Mrs. Jessica pulls us apart so she can see us and we can see her.
" We're fine. " I tell her looking to my right and left to see Layla and Ray a bit scratched from going through the window.

" Good. " she smiles and hugs all of us at the same time.

Trying to push away Ray asked, " What happened? What was on fire? " we all are out of Mrs. Jessica's grip look over at Ray.

Mrs. Jessica shrugs, " I don't know I think it was a copier in the band room. " she sits down by a tree and pays the ground for us to join her. " I will soon have to go see what has happened, but I need to rest a bit first. "
