Author's Notes: I guess I should have warned you ahead of time this is a drama and one
character will die, but I'm not telling who. So if you want to know READ! Thank you!
Summary: "We've got to teach children that life is the most precious thing they have."
- Touched by an Angel
Breaking of the Strom
Catie was right the day did go down hill, after Carrie reclaimed her history paper.
In science Catie had had to do a lab, she hated labs because she had to work with her fire
loving lab partner, and they had to burn soil and her lab partner set off the fire alarm (it
wasn't the first time). Her fellow German classmates had been the jerks that they always
were, and the teacher had decided to give a speech on respect. In math the people were
even more immature than in German, and spent most of the period playing Marco Polo.
Now she was in English, a class that she actually enjoyed since she moved from
Miss Fisher's, who thought that all of her students came from the same mold, to Mr.
Banks', who had a more open mind. Catie had only one problem with English, and that
problem that sat behind her. His name was A.J. Roberts and she had known him for as
long as she could remember, her dad and step mom worked with his parents at JAG
headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia. A.J. like most boys went for the football team
and A.J. unlike most boys he quit at the beginning of his sophomore year, to join, of all
the teams at Kingsport High School, the cross-country team. Catie thought, no she knew,
he had joined because of her stepsister, Gabby the Grate, A.J. had liked Gabby for a long
time (almost as long as Catie had liked Jaime, but that was a different story), but Gabby
showed nothing more than friendship. Gabby was also in Catie's English class, but since
Mr. Banks sat the class in ABC order, so Catie with the last name of Rabb (everyone at
school called her Catie Roth because it rhymed with goth) and Gabby with the last name
of Brumby sat nowhere near each other. Another person that Catie knew, but didn't sit
by was her best friend, Val (Val's last name started with an L). Also in the class were
Hank and Tyler, who worked along with Val on the geek squad (Jaime worked with them
too).
"Everyone in your seats, please." Mr. Banks said at the front of the room, " Now
just let me find the test and you guys can start." Catie's head was in a whirlwind, how
could she have forgotten that the unit test was today, the test that decided if she would
pass or fail English, and she hadn't even finished the book the test was on, let alone
studied. Catie prayed that Mr. Banks couldn't find the test and they would have to take it
the next day, her prayers were answered when Mr. Banks left the room, in search of the
test he thought he left in the copy room.
As soon as he left the room, Debbie Cyra, who sat closet to the door, got up and
shut it. Catie thought this was a little strange. Then Catie heard a loud popping noise
that sounded like a firecracker and saw Julia Sykes, who sat in front of her fall into the
aisle just in front of her. She looked up and saw Debbie's boyfriend, Jack Martin,
standing in front of her with a gun pointed at her. "Okay, goth girl, stand up!" Jack
instructed her, Catie did so, not wanting to face conquences of not. "Debbie, come over
here," Jack called to his girlfriend, "I know you want a piece of this, too." Catie watched
horrified, as Debbie took a hand gun similar to Jack's and practically ran over to where
Catie and Jack were standing.
Catie closed her eyes hoping that it wouldn't take long, hoping that death would
come quick. She had never been as scared as she was then. The last thing Catie heard
before slipping into darkness, was the popping of two bullets as they were shot into her
body.
A/N: Sorry, about the cliff hanger, but I wanted to make the suspendencefull. The
next chapter should be out in a few days; I just have to figure out where to go from here.
Thanks for reading and please review:)
