Ok, so I'm finally back. Well, partially. Here's the next chapter. Part 1 of my flashblack scenario. I had this done a while ago, but just never had time to type it up until now. I'll be working on this and my other stories now that I'm on winter break. Hope you like it.
It had only been one day since my life had changed. One day since this town had changed—for the worst. It was really a normal day at school. "Why did things turn out this way?" I thought. "Pretty much ruined my life. What the hell could've caused this?" I continued to think, as I leaned against the elevator wall, waiting for it to reach the roof.
It was a chilly morning, but was expected as December had arrived. I had parked my car in the school parking lot a few minutes after the first bell had rung. I could always be late to English class, because my teacher was laid back. When I walked in, however, my entire class were surprised at how little I was wearing, compared to all of them in layers of jackets and scarfs.
"Oh my God! Aren't you f-freezing?" One of my friends asked me.
"Not really." I chuckled slightly. "The cold doesn't really affect me that much." I said, sitting down.
It had remained relatively chilly throughout the morning. But things started to get heat up towards noon. Both the weather and the situation.
I had been in Math class blankly copying notes. I always tended to daydream, always letting my mind wander, but also somewhere staying attentive for the lecture. I had been daydreaming for a while, until I was snapped back into reality by my friend sitting behind me. Apparently my teacher had been asking me to solve the problem on the board.
"Oh, so you're finally back with us it seems." My teacher teased. "Anthony, can you please solve this problem? It seems your classmates are having trouble." She explained.
"Oh, yeah—sorry." I replied as I stared at the board. A few seconds of silence passed as I ran the question through my head. I was one of the top students, and I was always put on the spot whenever everyone else didn't understand something. "The coordinates of the vector is 2i – 3j + 7k.
"Well done. Care to explain how to do it?" My teacher asked me.
"Well—" I was interrupted by the P.A. system. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The vice principal came on with what was obviously an urgent announcement.
"Attention everyone! We have…just received word from authorities that there is a—bio-hazardous threat…near the school. So until further notice, the school shall go into lockdown. Everyone please remain calm—and remain inside your classrooms." You could hear the fear and uncertainty in his voice. There were a few screams in the room, but other than that, we had no choice but to sit there and wait. A few minutes had passed.
"You know, this is just me—" I started as I stood up. "—But if it's really a biohazard, shouldn't the school be evacuated?
"Well, maybe if it's a minor situation, they wouldn't need us to." My teacher responded. A few whispers filled the room. It was impossible for people to be silent, but that was expected. "All we can really do is wait."
I wasn't satisfied with that answer. Whatever was happening, it wasn't safe just to stay there. But I couldn't just leave. "Probably be detained and thrown back into the room—yeah…" I always had crazy scenarios in my head. I went back to sit with everyone else along the back wall.
"Hey guys wake me up if we're about to die…" I joked around. Everyone else chuckled nervously, taking what I said to heart.
A few hours had passed now. It was already beginning to get dark; dusk was fast approaching. I looked around and saw that everyone had practically fallen asleep.
"Maybe this is my chance to look around, and see what's happening. I got up and walked over to the door, and stopped. "Hmmm. If I'm guna be ninja about this, I won't be able to get back in here once I leave without being noticed. Oh well, what's the worst that could happen.
Next part coming soon!
