School was always my safe haven. I always thought it would be safe no matter what, a place of learning and where i would prosper and grow. But within minutes that has all changed and no-one has bothered to explain why this has happened.
School has now been disrupted and not for any of the usual excuses such as fire drills. Lessons are cancelled and all of everyone's belongings are still in the school.
I am glad in a way that we decided to hang about here rather than revise at my house, not only because my father would just disrupt us with all his experiments but we wouldn't have a clue what on earth is going on here. Well that doesn't really help us being here as we don't actually know yet what is going on but hopefully we will soon.
The most distressing thing about this is we haven't heard off or seen the girls yet not since i saw Kim on the field but still its worrying. Especially because Julie normally texts me by now. It was making me sick with worry just thinking about it, not knowing if they are safe or not. All we can do is hope and wait for the best even though it is not helping in slightest and the teachers look as terrified as we feel. They've barely spoken a word to us since we got out of the building, apart from every so often asking us to be quiet which some of us do better than others.
There was another bang and we all ducked to the ground.
Panic erupted around us like a volcano that had been lying dormant for thousands of years. People were crying, whispering shouting questions.
"Everybody stay down" our headteacher snapped.
"I think that was a gun shot" Jerry swallowed hard, I have never ever seen Jerry look that pale before. I wonder why he thinks that bang we heard was a gun shot.
I looked up at where I thought the sound came from, i could see something round like a crack in the middle of what I thought was the library window on the third floor.
It was hard to for me to believe, almost something out of a nightmare or a tv series or a film so I shook it off. A gun at school that was absolutely ridiculous. I never thought i would say those words together in the same sentence. I never thought it could be true. I never thought that something like this would happen so close to me.
I was struggling to fight back how sick i felt right now, my friends the girls Kim and Julie are missing. What if Kim and Julie are trapped? What if they are hurt, unconscious even and can't call for help? What if we don't see them again? What if someone is badly hurt?
I shook my head. I have to stop thinking of the worst and start hoping for the best. It is the not the best situation but I have to start thinking like Jack does and be braver and worry less.
I threw up. I felt absolutely horrid but it was probably nothing compared to what is going on in the school. A gun can kill, A gun can severely injure. Sickness just makes you feel like utter rubbish but at least you are alive. And there is no blood with sick unless you are terribly unwell.
"Wow that is horrid dude" Jerry said.
Jack shook his head "No" he pointed to the school "what's going on in there is horrid. And I don't know about you two but I think that we should try to find out about our girls"
Jerry and I nodded in agreement, we can't just stay out here and worry about them we have to do something.
I stood up and wiped my mouth "Jack is right we have it much better out here"
I know Kim can deal with a stressful situation but i am not sure about Julie. Julie is the nicest person i know. She is the kindest, sweetest person in the whole word despite being the complete polar opposite to her uncle. But even if Kim can defend herself in hand to hand combat no one can protect themselves against a gun.
I wish i knew what Jack was thinking. He hadn't said much at all about Kim and know he is just as worried as i am about her.
I swallowed hard, the rotten after taste still there stuck in the back of my throat, "You don't think Frank is to blame?"
Jack shrugged his shoulders he was pacing up and down on the yard but he got faster and faster.
I guess mentioning Frank's name was a bad judgement call. Ever since the first dojo match between us the wasabi warriors and the black dragons then Frank and Jack have been mortal enemies especially where our Kim is concerned.
"There must be a way of getting inside without being detected or putting anybody else in danger" Jack said speaking to himself "Come on Jack you can think of this"
If anyone can work it out then Jack can, he's always been good at coming up with plans and ideas and convincing whoever he needed to help implement them. If it was me i would be rubbish, yet ask me anything to do with science and i am your man but when it comes into getting into a building that is more Jack or Jerry's scene. Its like we don't really have anything in common apart from our karate, yet our skills compliment each other its strange.
"I've got it" Jack announced moments later.
