Not Even School Is A Safe Place...

I was sitting in maths class, bored out of my mind, just on the verge of falling asleep. I hear my teacher scream at this one kid about his homework, he got a detention in the end. Deserved to be honest. Recently I saw YouTube videos about this one account threatening to try and do a school shooting, but it's senior prank week, I don't give a damn about this man. But the videos were saying that they were going for my school, which is a bit nerve wracking but whatever!

"You're next EverBrooks High!" "I bet no one will hear your screams EverBrooks High!"

That was the name of my school. But why do they have to say the name of my school like that. EverBrooks High makes me feel sick to my stomach from the cringiness so imagine having to see it on some YouTube video about trying to kill us! Honestly with THAT name just put me out of my misery already! Anyways im off topic!

I'm just dropping off to sleep but then I hear screaming.. I immediately jolt up, is this the guy!? Omg I'm not dying today, this is the only day I actually understood one maths question! My hair and makeup also looks good! I even got my crush to drool at me! (Well he looked at me with a weirded out face but in my books, thats drool right there!) Wait no, the screaming is just my teacher telling me off about falling asleep! But I was still in sleeping mode so I jumped up screaming! I'm a laughing stock.... MY CRUSH WAS EVEN IN THAT CLASS and he was looking like he wanted to gag (look he's drooling again!) I'm delusional!

Speakers in our classroom blare,

"THIS IS NOT A DRILL, A SHOOTER IS IN THE SCHOOL! WE ARE GOING INTO LOCKDOWN! LOCK THE DOORS AND STAY AS HIDDEN AS POSSIBLE"

I'm more awake now but since I'm delusional, I start believing I'm still asleep so I start smacking my face like crazy, tryna wake me up. The entire class is staring at me and my tomato-like face! Seriously, it was BRIGHT RED!

My teacher slowly walks to my classroom door and locks it shut. Great! Longer maths! I see a shady man right outside the window of the door, he's smacking it so hard that i thought he was about to bust it down! I start panicking, my throat feels tight, I feel like I'm about to throw up! The door busts down and I just take a run for it! I sprint past him and run into the hallway but I hear footsteps behind me.. It's him.. I'm on the verge of tears, I sprint as hard as I can, my chest feels tight and it burns! Theres other kids looking at me. This is embarrassing! I look like a lunatic! Then I hear it. Gunshots. Kids screaming.

"DON'T HURT ME! "

"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! "

"PLEASE, HAVE MERCI!!"

"If you kill her, I die too! "

Well that was dumb! That girls now dead! I see blood splatter, staining the white walls of the hall.. I want to vomit.. There are so many bodies everywhere! This was never a prank! 'This is it! This is the day I die! ' I think to myself.. I run to the bathroom, I sit there shaking at every gunshot! I cry to myself with my hands over my mouth, trying to not make a single noise. Then I hear something.. A voice. But, it sounds familiar.. MY SISTER

"PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I'LL DO ANYTHI-" Then this man shoots her dead.. I'm now in tears! My mascara running down my face! I bite down on my hand so hard that it starts bleeding! I taste blood. I feel nauseous! I can't breathe! I feel my eggs and bacon coming back up. I lean down by the toilet and bring it all back up! I smell scramble eggs! This is gross! Gunshots fill the school... Sirens scream outside. 'FINALLY! THE POLICE!' I think to myself. This is the end of this nightmare... They drive past the school... I scream "TURN BACK! " because I'm stupid! Then I hear, loud footsteps. Every footstep sounds closer, my heart drops further down on every step... I'm gonna throw up again! The door swings open. I start texting my mum that I love her. Then a miracle happens! Police immediately bust down the door and arrests him right on the spot! My heart lifts backs up. I feel relieved. I can breathe again! They police take me out with the blood dripping down my arm, he asks if I've been hurt and I just say I was biting down too hard out of stress. He nods quietly then takes the man to his car. I walk out the bathroom and I throw up right there on the spot. My bacon is back up now! I'm disgusting, I swear! Then I turn around and see my sister, dead, twitching and blood slowly flowing out of her back! I was just about to faint. We all go home early for the rest of the day. I tell my mum everything, we both start crying. A few months later (after my sisters funeral) I watch the news and my chest gets tighter! This man has escaped. I tell my mum.. She starts worrying because she doesn't want to lose another kid. She locks all the doors, closes the blinds and locks all the windows. She let me have the next few days off of school (YES NO MORE MATHS HAHA)

Although we seem safe and this man doesn't know where I live, I feel like something stalking me. It's kept me awake at night. I just want this feeling to get off my back, it's like he's watching my every move....
