Two chapters in one day, what do you know? Still I'm not happy with how short this chapter is...and the last for that matter. Aaaaaaaand the OMGWTF?! continues...

Windows smashed. A loud noise accompanied it and then a lot of screaming, shouting, and swearing. A few stood up alert, looking, while many and majority ducked down off their chairs to ground level. That's what separated people. Those who had some common sense got down, not that being on the floor would help anymore than sitting on a chair, but it was just safer. Then of course you had the idiots who think it's cool, or do the opposite to everyone else for the sake of it, either that or they're some kind of hero in training, but it was college…they were idiots. Even Shannon was flat to the ground, covering her head, even if it did mean, literally, being in contact with the dirty, walked on floor.

"What the fuck was that?!" Ana Lucia shouted, over the sounds of alarms and ultimate terror that seemed to be coming from every direction right at that moment. It seemed like people might as well have not taken their hands away from their heads the second after the sound, as then the alarms had gone off in their screechy, loud, to the point, way they did, and once again hands were up and over ears, which made it considerably harder to communicate.

"Oh my…what's happening?!" Claire screamed back, covering her ears and staying low, while Shannon clung onto her quietly but shaking, staring at others who were also looking around for answers.

As soon as the teacher stood back up and tried to get the attention of the class, people started running for the door, and as it seemed, there was already half the student body of that building blocking the corridor as fear flooded the atmosphere. Practice of all safety routine had been left in disregard. It was literally survival of the fittest, in full throw.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…" Claire repeated over and over. Ana Lucia grabbed hold of her and stood them up. Claire looked at her, terrified, and for once Ana didn't have the same hardness behind her eyes are she usually did. She didn't have any hold on the situation over anyone else. "Oh my god." She reached into her pocket, searching for her phone. "I have to phone Kate…and Charlie! And…"

"Sayid!!!!" Shannon started screeching, with a complete look of terror on her face. A few people near them, seeing and hearing her freak out, started to panic themselves, causing the rush for the door to become even more frantic than it already was.

"No! Come on, we're getting out of here." Ana Lucia forcefully commanded over the noise, still ignoring the teacher, who as much as he was trying to help, was slowly backing his way towards the classroom door himself, before giving up and running out of it, leaving the remaining students there. "COME ON!!!!!" She shouted once more, following in the footsteps of the teacher and then into the masses.

Despite the running, the crowds being that thick slowed down the exit, and after what felt like forever, making their way down stairs, they emerged out into the fresh air and even more people.

They looked out upon the campus, and saw smoke rising from one of the buildings and fire, visible fire; large flames flicking out of windows.

"What the hell is going on?" Ana asked again, in complete disbelief of what was going on. This was college, boring college. Work, sleep, work, eat, work, A crap college in a small town just outside the city, things like this didn't happen. This was reserved for places with names you couldn't even pronounce.

Claire reached for her phone again, typing away anxiously. Finding Kate first, in her last call list, she dialed immediately, receiving a message from the operator saying that the phone was currently out of service. Charlie came next, his phone ringing on and on, with no answer. She was in the middle of ringing Jack when suddenly shouting came in their direction, thinking that was it them, she cancelled the call and quickly stuffed her phone in her pocket.

"Hey!! HEY!!!" Sawyer shouted across heads, making Ana Lucia jump back to the reality. He was pushing through the crowds again, this time no one seemed to care like earlier. There was that much movement going on and bigger things to think about that one guy moving past was nothing.

"Sawyer!!" Claire ran up to him and hugged him tightly, letting him go again to talk to him. "What's happened?" She asked urgently.

"Hell if I know! WOO!! I think someone set the college on fire!!" Sawyer said punching the air. Typical. Idiot. Boy.

"SAWYER!!" Completely the opposite of 30 seconds earlier, Claire hit him…hard.

"OW! Dammit woman!! What?!" He shouted back offended, the smile completely wiped off his face.

Shannon stepped forward from beside Ana where she'd been standing quietly watching the crowds, having not said anything since they were still inside the building. She was thoroughly shocked and speechless with the whole situation…not at all dealing well with it.

"Have you seen Sayid?" She asked Sawyer, who looked from Claire to Shannon.

"No…no, I haven't seen anyone else. You three are the first I've seen since we were evacuated." He said looking back over at the building.

"Oh…"

"It's their building that is on fire though…" He finished turned back to them. "…isn't it?"

There was silence for a couple of seconds as this registered through their brains, and then formed a reaction.

"What did you say?" Ana asked calmly, eyes wide. The sound of sirens was now one of the main sounds infiltrating the air, as Firemen crowded round the building that was spouting smoke and fire, and contrasted heavily with the calmness that Ana exhibited out of shock.

All four of them looked over at the building, seeing the services work, hoses firing water jets at the building, and shouting of orders flying back and forth. That was it. That was the building with the fire. The same building that had all the chemistry classes and labs in it. The building that should contain Jack, Kate and Sayid. Surely they'd be out somewhere around the campus though…right? That's what they had to keep telling themselves. They were fine. Everything was fine.

Yes, it has got dramatic, hasn't it? It seems so strange for this story, but I don't think there's been enough drama in it, so I'm getting it out the way...and I also wanted to blow things up, so you know, everyone wins. :P

Reviews appreciated. :D
