School Of Death

#5

Ray goes over and sits, not next to her but in that area under the tree. I sit next to Ray as Layla stands right behind me, looking like she's ready to fight someone.

After about six minutes Mrs. Jessica gets and says, " Stay here children, I have to go see what happened. " she smiles and walks away, getting on her walkie-talkie so she can find out where to go. " Mr. Baldbinskie," I here her say, " where are you? "

By the time he answers she's to far away for me to hear what he said. " Today has been a day. " Ray lies down spreading his arms out wide, almost hitting me. " I just can't wait to get on the bus. "

I lay next to him, " Me to. " I smile thinking about how coincidental it is that we're laying here like this. " Remember the last time we did this? " I look at him.

" January 23, 2016. " he says, smiling at the memory. " We had just gotten back from a field trip and were told we could play out side until it was time to go... "

" And I was tired so I made my way over to the biggest tree and sat down against it... "

" And I was sitting at a different tree, and when I saw you I headed over to you. Laying down next to you... "

" Then I lied down with you. "

We chuckle sharing the memory, from that day and then sit up. " Um, okay then. What are we going to do while we wait for someone? " Layla says confused about are burst of laughter. " We could look for other students? " she suggests, looking around.

Her and I share a look, and she instantly starts climbing the tree till she's at the top. " Come on. " she sticks her hand down for me to grab.

I push her hand back up, " No. I need to be down here should anything happen. Here, " I grab Ray's wrist yanking closer, " take Ray instead, so you can still have another at of eyes. " he pushed her hand and climbs up almost as fast as she did.

We sit waiting for a while getting more impatient as time goes on. All the sudden I feel a sudden vibration, after a Little bit of looking and thinking I pull my phone from my pocket. I look at it and I have a message that says, ' Students this is Mrs. Jessica. Meet up with a teacher at one of the following locations, and make sure the people your with now goto the same teacher as you. Front door, front parking lot, back parking lot, car wash next to the school, football field, bus parking, tennis courts, sidewalk in front of school, and outside locker rooms. '

" You guys, do you have your phone's on you? " I ask wondering if they had seen the message. Layla nods her head after she lands in front of me. Ray slides down the tree after her, with no clue what is going on. Layla looks at me and I know exactly where we're going, to the football field. " Ray come on where heading to the football field to meet up with a teacher. " I say to him as I walk with Layla, to the field.

" What? " I hear him whisper to himself as he starts catching up with us. I don't say anything knowing that we need to get to the field as fast as we can, there's no time to ask questions.

Walking almost all the way around a huge school takes a lot of time, being a quarter of the way there we haven't seen any one, at all. Wishing we knew what was going on we keep moving, a song stuck in my head, a dance in Ray's, and nothing in Layla's, we keep moving.

I get out my phone and pull up the map trying to find out how much longer I will be until we reach the football field. I see the number and yell, " Holy Shit! " we had at least forty-five minutes until we got there.
" What! " Ray and Layla exclaim, and look around.

I turn around and say, " We have forty-five minutes until we get to the field. " They calm down, and start to pout and whine. We keep walking, hoping that forty-five minutes will go by quickly, it doesn't.

Layla and I are still in our gym clothes so we can run faster than usual, but Ray has regular shoes on, and we wouldn't want to leave him. So we walk at a pass everyone can keep up with.

Still we hear nobody else along the way, and don't bother stopping to look. It would waist out time and everyone probably say the message, so who would still be out here.
About forty more minutes of walking we hear, " Willoson sit down! " I look at Layla and we both start running, with Ray not far behind us. When we finally get to the football field, we see Coach Steambin and Zack. Coach Steambin is the high school's football coach, he is a great coach but bad with kids that don't play.

" Coach Steambin! " Ray yells as he passes me and Layla. " Sir, me and m friends are here. " Coach Steambin nods his and invites us over. Ray and Layla run the whole way, as I slow down to a good passed walk.

Coach Steambin greets Ray with a firm and shake and Layla with some type of bow, I think. When I get up there I just walk by him, not paying attention what do ever.

Ray went over and sat next to Zack, Layla say like three seats away and I sat between them.

All I want is for Zack not to say anything to me, to Layla, or even about us. I just want him to leave us alone, since we can't go anywhere else. I lean my head on Ray's shoulder, and close my eyes, I was to tired to do anything right now.
