Across the country there were reports of riots, and they were spreading… But not a thought of this crossed Darren Townshend's mind, as he fiddled with a pencil at his desk. Four more hours to go…He thought to himself as the seconds ticked by on the classroom clock. The lecture today was about some long dead civilization that was putting even the teacher to sleep, the only thing that really caught the class's interest was hearing about human sacrifices, in which case the information was followed by an "eww…" or "that's gross!"
At long last the bell rang, every one in the room quickly gathered up their things and left the room before being given their assignment… And not once… did the riots, growing ever closer cross the minds of the students at Sterling high school…
Darren moved down the winding hallways quickly, attempting to avoid the after class rush. But as always… it didn't work. "Wassup rocker?" called a voice just over his shoulder. It was October, she and Darren went back to the fifth grade… when she made Darren eat a worm as a bet for five dollars… (He never got the money.) "Nothing much, hoping that the riots spread here so we get out of school." He replied. October laughed, "Speaking of which reports of the riots are only thirty miles away." Darren smiled to himself, "I guess that means there's going to be a little more than a few rent-a-cops patrolling now, right?" at that they both laughed, their high school was known for have a high rate of "rent-a-cops" on hand at any given time. After a short walk through the science hallway, where they reached their next class, technology. October and Darren sat down in front of their computers and logged into their accounts. "You know…" said Darren, not looking up from his computer, "on my way to school today I noticed SWAT vans along some of the back alleys near my house, I don't know what's going on but I have the feeling something big is gonna' go down." He paused for a moment while he turned the music on his computer on. "I even brought my boot knife with me today…" October turned to look at him, the glow of the computer made his naturally pale skin glow in the dim light of the tech lab, his eyes had narrowed and he looked like he may cry. Darren wasn't known for freaking out, but right now he was a nervous wreck. "Darren…" October said softly, "Please calm down, nothing is going to happen today is just going to be another day of school." There was a moment of silence… Darren was lost in thought, deciding weather to believe October or to give into his paranoia, and October was trying to decide if she had done the right thing in saying that to him. When the silence was broken by a cold laugh, "October's right Darren… you shouldn't worry about today, it's the rest of the week that you need to worry about." "Shut the hell up Shane." Snapped Darren. "Aww, come on bro you know I love you." Snickered Shane. Leaning his head over the top of his chair so he could look at October and his "adopted brother" Darren. "What's all this about SWAT vans? And riots only 30 miles away?" Darren turned around in his seat and looked at October. Sighing she explained the story as best she could. "Shit man… I didn't know." Sitting back up Shane turned back to his computer and typed into a search engine quickly 'local riots'. "What the hell?" said Shane quietly… The search results came up blocked. "What's up?" Asked Darren. "The school… they blocked the results." Typing furiously, Shane attempted every thing he knew about getting through the schools security systems. "Dammit!" he yelled as quietly as possible. "Nothings working…" At that the lights flickered and died and the PA sounded, "THE SCHOOL IS NOW UNDER EMERGENCY LOCK DOWN." Gunfire sounded in the background. "STUDENTS DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CLASSROOMS." Screams and howls of pain… more gunfire… silence…
