Girls, crying through the hallways. Boys, eyes downcast. Teachers, being judgemental. Eyes ocasionally flitting. The kid could be standing next to them, and they wouldn't know it.
There was a bomb threat at my school, scheduled for yesterday. Let me start from the beginnning.
A week ago, there was a note in the back of an eighth grade literature book. I didn't read it, but I talked to the girl that found it. It said there was going to be a bomb, it was for today. Of course, I thought it was just a rumor. I completely forgot about it.
Then I saw a girl in the hallway that I kind of knew. she was crying. I went up to her and asked her what was wrong, before the homeroom bell rang.
"My parents made me go to school today." She said. I was about to say "oh." then walk away, but she said something that made me stop.
"And the bomb's going off today."
"Oh," i said under my breath. I turned back to her, but she was gone.
The kids in my homeroom were sitting silently, odd for a seventh grade class. The teacher came to the class.
"Yes, there was a bomb threat, and yes, it is a rumor. But they called the Superintendant, the Police Force, Fire Department, SWAT, the Bomb Squad, and the Police Dogs, for precautions." Like that was going to relax us. But we weren't checked when we came into the school. And the note said they were going to bring the bomb. That's smart.
It was scheduled to go off at one thirty, five minutes into fifth period. It was a long day, so I'll give you an outline.
Guitar Class- I told taylor about it. She didn't really talk for the rest of the class.
Language- We said goodbye to the friends that we weren't going to see for the rest of the day.
Geography- The teacher repetedly told us it was a rumor. It didn't help.
Lunch/Outside- We talked about what we wanted our last words to be. Mine were "unforgotten"
Science- It was fourth period, almost time. I told the entire class that it wouldn't happen. I wasn't really sure of myself. I said goodbye to Taylor. we saluted. i said "it was a pleasure playing with you tonight" which is a quote from Titanic. Then we hugged.
Math- I had gotten to class. My only close friend was absent that day. I was going to have to do this alone.
For the next five minutes, it was the morbid, sad, trying-to-be-strong attitudes of earlier. Ten times more. The teacher didn't say anything, I suppose it was on purpose. You could hear small crying from variouse classrooms.
It was time. There were ten seconds left. There was a countdown. All around the school you heard it, and the teachers didn't bother to stop it.
"THREE! TWO! ONE!" We all yelled.
"Unforgotten" I whispered.
It was time. We grew silent. the evil clock struck the six. And all of the sudden, nothing happened.
What a joke. They say whoever it is is going to get expelled. When thet find him. I hope he's glad he scared the crap out of everybody, because there's gonna be a lawsuit.
Now rumors are out it was gonna be today. Only it didn't happen. Again. Now they're saying it's gonna be tomorrow. Sure.
Sorry it's long, but has anything like this ever happened to you?
Was there even a bomb?
Was it a rumor?
