Chapter 4

Fire sprinklers

"He can't lock us in!" Lizzie screamed.

"Well he did," Kate said.

"That's a fire hazard!" Gordo said.

"The principal was telling me that all the windows have some sort of unbreakable coating on them so that rules out any windows," Lizzie Said.

"For What?" Gordo asked.

"I gotta get home!" Lizzie screamed. "Facing another detention is worse then Getting grounded for three weeks by my parents."

"Good point," Gordo said. At that moment, The Group all screamed as the lights went out.

"Oh my God!" Kate Screamed

"Who turned out the lights?" Ethan asked. Everyone ignored him. A Large thunderclap was herd right then.

"It's not storming is it?" Gordo asked. "The Weather people said we're right in the middle of the Drought." Sure enough the sky was black and they saw a tree that had fallen on a nearby house's garage.

"Lets see what the weather people say," Lizzie turned on the TV that was hanging in the corner of the room. She switched it to The Weather Channel.

"Yes citizens of San Francisco and all counties surrounding it your not going to believe this because well you just wont you have a tornado warning. Get to your basements and go to a place where is little or no glass." The Announcer on the TV kept talking but no one paid any attention.

"OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" Kate was screaming and pacing at the back of the room.

"I wonder where Mr. Finley is?" Tugman asked.

"Yeah?" Miranda Agreed.

"Let's see if we can get out," Matt Suggested. He walked up to the door. "Hey It's Unlocked." Matt opened the door and found his way into the halls.

"Let's look for Mr. Finley I gotta tell him I have to go home," Lizzie said. Everyone except Kate went into the halls.

"You can go if you want to I'm staying here to do my time and get home to wash my hair." Kate said. She sat down and started to file her nails.

"Okay Kate, you can stay here all alone if you want, in the dark . . ." Lizzie said and walked off.

"Um, Ugh, Wait!" Kate rushed out to them and followed the rest.

"I see you decided to come along," Lizzie said.

"Okay, I'm monophobic, big deal!" Kate stormed. The Group looked around the dark school. The Only light provided was the occasional lightning strike.

"Let's check the teacher's lounge," Ethan suggested.

~Hey, Occasionally he comes up with a good Idea~ Animated Lizzie said. The Group walked toward the Lounge.

"OH MY GOD!" The group walked into the lounge. The TV was on, a flashlight was shining, and Mr. Finley was lying on the Ground with pare of scissors stuck in his back.
