A SHOT IS FIRED
Chapter 3:

Ephram slumped back into his chair. Ms. Smith gave him a dirty look for leaving, but forgave him under the circumstances. Ms Smith tightly bolted the door shut because that's what the school had learned to do incase of such an emergency. Many of the students looked panicked, and Ms Smith did her best to calm them, but this was obviously a very stressful situation. Ephram, on the other hand, could practically feel his heart breaking. He thought that maybe Amy felt the same way about him as he did about her, but apparently not. She was probably just meeting up with Colin now, and the two of them would reunite. The thought almost made Ephram sick. He thought how he would probably never have the chance to tell her. Besides the fact that she was in love with another guy, who knows what terrible thing could happen on this day. The shooters were still at large and nobody was safe.

Amy kept up at the same pace as her brother. She could practically feel her heart breaking. That would have been the perfect opportunity to tell Ephram how she felt. They could have been happy together. How could she ever do that now though? Colin thought that the two of them were the perfect couple. How could she tell Colin that she was in love with another guy? She couldn't.
"Don't worry Amy we're almost there. You'll see Colin soon." Brite said trying to be reassuring. Little did Brite know that Amy wasn't worried about Colin, she was worried about Ephram. Amy felt terrible. Not only was she lying to Colin, she was lying to her brother. She had to tell him the truth.
"Brite, I need to tell." just as she was about to tell him, they were interrupted by a loud bang. The same bang that she had heard earlier. A gun shot! Amy turned around to look if someone was coming. One of the masked men was coming down the hall towards them.
"Brite, we have to get out of here," Amy said. When she turned around to look at him, he was standing there clutching his chest.
"What's wrong?" Amy asked him unknowingly. When he moved his hand away from his chest, Amy screamed at what she saw. There was a bullet right in his chest. She put her now trembling hands up to cover her gaping mouth, just when he collapsed to the ground.
"Amy." he choked out looking at the sister he loved so dearly.
"Brite, get up, we have to get out of here."
"Amy, I need for you to go on without me. Get out of here, save yourself!"
"No, I'm not going to leave."
"Just go Amy. Please do it for me."
Amy looked at him and then back at the man who was still walking towards them. She hesitated, but then kissed her brother on the cheek and said, "I love you Brite. Don't forget that!"
"I love you too, Amy."
And with that, she was gone. She hated to leave her brother, but there was nothing she could do. All that she could do was pray that he would be okay. She ran down the flights of stairs to get to room 109 where Colin's class was. Just then, she thought to herself, 'what am I doing?' She could be going to see Ephram, nothing was holding her back. She turned around to go back to Ephram's class. She couldn't let anything happen to him and her brother. She was about to turn around when she ran into someone, Colin!
