Over the last couple of days the kids at my middle school have been sent emails stating that bombs will go off during the second lunch period on the 6th or the 7th. Because of this everyone was scared yesterday. During my first period class (band) we heard an announcement...this is an attendant at the school:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Please, teachers, keep your students in class. I know you change at 10:30 but please keep them in[/quote]
That really freaked everyone out. Then the worst thing that I've ever heard at school was announced...this is the principle:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Teachers, Students, and Staff. Because of the recent scares and threats that there is a bomb in the school. And the fact that everyone in the building is scared, I have decided to have the school searched. Please exit through the east exit.[/quote]
I thought to myself...OMG.
Could this happen to my school? As we were leaving the building Fire Trucks and Police Officers started to arrive. There were no bomb squad officers?!? What is that? No bomb squad? That was another thought that went through my head. Then when we got comfortable sitting down (I was by the wallball board) I noticed some kids crying. Then an ambulance passed by and parked itself. Then the left the ambulance running there. The parametric left and went to the building. Then some of the police officers carried a ladder to the fire truck. They didn't even use it. Then the fire truck drove off. Then the parametric wen't into the ambulance and drove off. Then we heard a bell. The signal to go back into school. It had only been a half an hour...Then...The worst part. We had to go to lunch. It was the second period lunch. Everyone...I mean everyone, even the toughest of kids were crying...Every girl was really scared. A lot of the tough kids were screaming. When they started calling off names on the announcements everyone was deadly silent. We were praying that we would be called up to leave. Everyone started hugging each other. The black kids, the white kids. The small kids, the big kids. Then I tried to leave. I was heading out when one of the administrators stopped me. Damn...that close. Then will a little bit of luck, when I got back everyone told me that I had been called up to the office to leave. I went to the administrator that had stopped me and I asked him, "Could your please ask the office if they called me? I couldn't hear." He told me, "I know your game kid. Go sit back down." I didn't sit. I went to our table and told everyone goodbye that I was leaving. Another kid and me decided we were going to pretend to be on of the people that were called up. We made it to the office when I heard someone shout my name, "Zach...Zach..." I was so happy. Even thought I had cried earlier. I was leaving! It was my best friend's mother. On the way out we were interviewed for the news and we showed them the letter. My best friend held it up. Then we went to the place where she worked another middle school. Then when we got in the SS class, the teacher said, "Today's subject is Colorado." I was about to scream. The letter had stated that the explosion in the lunchroom was going to be bigger that Littleton, Colorado. The rest of the day went usual. Today I'm staying home from the school, being that it is the 7th. There is one theory buzzing around on why they did this...Mother's Day. That day the 5th grade soon to be 6th grade parents were in the lunchroom. Talk about strange and unseen coincidence or planned out b/s.
To stay on the topic of my subject, I think these/this kid(s) that started the rumors was trying to copy the Trench Coat Mafia. What do you think?
