While you and Jack are in Study Hall, the entercom goes off saying “LOCKDOWN. LOCK, LIGHTS, OUT OF SIGHT.” You walk over to the closest room, which is the science room, because for Study Hall, you are out in the open. You sit down in a corner, and start to panic, “Is this a real lockdown?” You ask, “They didn’t tell us.” The teacher responds. I can already feel my face getting hot, “It’s okay.” he says. “You need to calm down, I can hear your heart racing, that’s not normal,” he says, “I am fine,” you say.
***
“The lockdown has been lifted.” You just walk to your next class, acting like everything’s normal.
You walk to your next class, the final class of the day, Language Arts, which is really boring. Except for having Max, one of your other friends.
“Hey, Max!”
He just looks at the wall in fear,
“Max? Are you ok?”
His body falls to the ground.
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!” Tinsley yells.
Mrs. Uyale says, “Tinsley, calm down, since when did you care about other people?”
“FAITH, WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO HIM!”
You immediately get out my phone and dial 911,
“911, what’s your emergency?”
“A student in Uyale High, Mrs. Uyale’s room, Room B13. Has randomly passed out and/or-” I look at his neck, it has words, “I told you so”
“Did you check his or her pulse?”
“I don’t know how to.”
“Tinsley, do you know how to check a pulse?”
“Yes.”
“TINSLEY, HELP YOUR BROTHER OUT!” Brittany yells from across the room.
“Is there a pulse? Tinsley, ANSWER ME!”
I notice her mascara is running down her face, She shakes her head “No”
“No.”
“Okay, we will be there in about ten minutes to see the crime scene, he could have had a seizure. Did he rock back and forth?”
“No, but he stared at the wall for at least 10 minutes.”
