I thought about this story myself. I hope you like it!

Chapter One

School is Scarier than you think…

"Get the ball!" some stranger in front of me shouted.

Room 5 and Room 3 boys were playing dodge-ball. I was sitting on the stage steps with my friends, cheering for Room 5. Room 4, which was my class, had already lost, both girls and boys.

Then suddenly, the lights went out.

My friends and I said, "Who turned off the lights?" over and over. We were saying it more like we were talking to our selves, then asking someone else. We were trying to get a good look at the light switch.

However, before any of us could get could see who did it, the teacher shouted, "Get to the center of the gym!"

At first, my friends and I thought that he was just calling for us, so we walked toward the teacher, even chatted a little bit.

Then I heard someone say, "Oh gosh! It's moving! The ground is moving!"

I didn't feel it, though. But just to be careful, I decided to run. Everyone around me seemed to have heard that, because mostly everyone had started running.

We all huddled in the center of the gym, clenching our heads tight. Once I sat down on the gym floor, I could feel the ground moving. I couldn't believe how big the earthquake was.

But somehow I found myself scared and giggling at the same time. It wasn't a laughing matter but still, I found myself giggling.

It felt like the earthquake had lasted forever.

When the earthquake finally ended, I felt somehow refreshed.

And I could somehow still talk to my friends huddling close to me during the earthquake.

But I don't remember what we talked about anymore.

My best friend, Amanda was really shaken up.

Amanda had a blue T-shirt with a cute horse on it, with a light blue hoodie on. Her face was round, and she had one of those baby like faces. She looked five years old, but at the same time she looked thirteen, her real age. I've known her ever since she came to our school

After the earthquake stopped, and a little time passed, the teachers said to line up.

We walked outside, but I felt a little shaken up. I felt like the earthquake was still going on.

We walked to our school playground, where all the kids from my school evacuated if an earthquake or fire happened.

We sat down in a line, where the teachers counted heads to see if they had all their children.

I sat down on the playground's ground, and I felt it moving. I told Amanda about it and she freaked out.

'Note to self,' I thought. 'Do not tell Amanda the next time I feel any earthquake.'

I looked around, and saw a few people crying on their friends shoulders. I didn't see any boys crying though.

I looked up at the sky and thought, 'What did we do to deserve this? Everyone is so freaked out. Even the kids who are trying to laugh it off are really freaked out!'

I almost thought I heard someone whisper to me, 'Nothing.'

I looked around to see if anyone said that. Everyone seemed to be talking about the big earthquake. I could not find anyone who had the voice who matched the whisper.

I looked up to the sky again and found that the sky looked weird. One side was sunny like a warm spring day, but the other side was cloudy, almost rainy like a cold winter night. Yes, it was dark.

I was sitting on the side that looked like it would start raining any moment. 'Weird.' I thought.

Then I heard the same voice whisper to me, 'This is somewhere every warrior has to go on his journey."

I looked up to the sky for the third time and thought hard.

"Somewhere every warrior has to go on his journey…" I muttered to myself.

"What did you say?" my friend, Martha asked.

"Um… Nothing…" I said. I thought about telling her about the voice, but I decided not to. I didn't know why, but I had a bad feeling that if I told her about it, something bad would happen.

While I was trying to find out what the voice meant, my thoughts were interrupted by another voice.

"I am so happy that all of us could evacuate safely," the voice said. It was our principal. Our principal had on a reddish brown coat, with a white blouse underneath. She had a brown skirt that went down to her ankles, and brown flats to mach everything. She was wearing a lot of brown.

"Now I think that the practice really helped us." she said. We did a practice a few days before, for if an earthquake or a fire started. However, it did not really help us. Our practice was based on if an earthquake came when we were in the classroom, and not in the gym.

"Yeah, that really helped." Martha said sarcastically.

I thought it helped in a way, though. Nobody really panicked that they fainted. That was a thumb up. We were able to line up without anyone running around or anything. That was a thumb up too. But I didn't tell her that.

"Now we're…" in the middle of the sentence, she suddenly stopped.

"Why did she stop?" I asked Amanda.
