Notes: If you didn't figure out who's POV it was last chapter you'll find out in this one right away. Some of this is my memories of the end of senior year. This chapter is where it happens so if you don't want to read about people getting shot skip the chapter.
A Bad Day to Be on Time
Adam, Marcy, Connie, Kenny, Luis, and I all had English together. Adam was telling us about his tryout with the Minnesota Waves. If he did well on that team he might end up playing for The Minnesota Wild next year who are a brand new franchise team that was starting next year. He said that if he makes the Waves he would definitely not go to Minnesota State with who he's been given a scholarship to.
"You should stay off your ankle till Saturday." Marcy said noticing Adam was limping a bit.
"Nah it's fine. I'm sure the scout already knows about how I dislocated my ankle last year."
"Well you are the one who came back too early." I said.
"I was stir crazy." He said. We've all heard that excuse a million times.
"Boards are next week." Connie said nervously.
"Hey they won't fail us. We already got a passing grades on our papers." I said. It took me five tries but I finally got it passing.
"Yeah it only has to be 8 minutes." Marcy said. "When do we find out where our boards and when they are?"
"Friday I think." Adam said. "I hope it's Wednesday so I can get it out of the way."
I heard someone scream. We hadn't been watching the doorway. We turned around to see Harvey with a gun.
He started firing. We all ducked for cover. Adam was next to me. I couldn't see where the others were. Everyone was turning desks over to hide behind. I heard a grunt from next to me and then saw Adam slump against me. He was shot in the chest. I held him. I don't know why but I did.
"Come on Banks stay with me." I said quietly. The firing stopped he must have ran out of the room.
"Goldie..." He tried to say.
"Don't say anything." I said. I was worried. He was bleeding badly and was coughing up blood. I looked at the clock. It all happened in less then five minutes. I looked around and saw that Adam wasn't the only one that was shot.
"Tell...my family...I love...them." He rasped out.
"No you're going to make it." I said knowing that was a rather stupid thing to say.
"Tell Marc...I love..."
"Shh." I said.
"Greg..." He's never called me by my first name. Heck no one on the team has. "You good friend." That was when I realized he really was dying. I may not be a doctor or know anything about medicine but I could tell by how he was getting sort of a far away look in his eyes.
"Say hi to Jesse for us." I said. I know that was a stupid thing to say but I did not know what to say. He gave me a small smile and then was gone.
That was when the police and paramedics burst into the room. They ran to check on the wounded.
"Move over son." One of them said as they checked Adam. I did knowing what they would soon find out.
I looked at the others. Guy was having his arm wrapped. But the others looked fine. That was when I realized I didn't see Marcy.
I found her with her head on Connie's lap. Connie looked up and shook her head.
