Chapter 3: Lockdown

Wolf groaned as he stood in the lunch line. Ian gave him an extremely hard slap on the back "oh come on, it wasn't that bad, besides, Kiara GIGGLED at you, it's a good sign" Wolf muttered "Or a sign that she was laughing at me cause I'm an idiot and I drooled all over my desk" Ian rolled his eyes and got a bread roll from the lunch line. "Just wait dude, things will turn out ok in the end" Wolf scoffed and took a roll for himself. Ian glanced back "besides, what is the worst possible thing that can happen?" as soon as Wolf and Ian walked by Kiara's table Wolf slipped in a pile of spaghetti and spilled his food everywhere, which was immediately followed by roaring laughter from other students, including Kiara. Ian looked over Wolf "Ok, the second worst thing" "Dude, just shut up" Ian snickered and went to their table. Wolf sat up and saw a slender hand reach down towards him "Need a hand?" Wolf looked up and saw Kiara standing over him. He looked over at Ian who mouthed the words "score!" and he gave him the thumbs up sign. Wolf looked back up at her and took her hand. It was soft and delicate and warm to the touch. It sent a shiver down his spine just thinking about it. As he got up he said "Thanks" Kiara gave him a soft, sweet smile and said "Your welcome, oh, um, you got a piece of noodle stuck in your hair" She plucked it out as Wolf blushed and Ian roared with laughter at the table. Kiara giggled and said "So I'll see you around?" Wolf nodded so quickly he almost cracked his neck and he was off in a huff. Kiara looked after him and sighed. Her friend Mary whispered "Oooo Kiara O'Donnell you are not falling in love are you?" Kiara turned sharply around as her other friend Hannah giggled "Oh, come on you two, I barely even know him!" She turned back around "He IS kind of cute though" Wolf sat at his table with his head on his arms, like playing heads up 7 up. Ian patted his back "It's not that bad, ok so you embarrassed yourself in front of your super hot dream girl, but at least she talked to you" Wolf moaned "She pulled noodles out of my hair man!!" Ian almost couldn't stop himself from laughing again "And that's a bad thing?" Wolf looked up "Well I can tell you all the many ways of how that could have gone better!" Ian snickered and ate the last of his roll. "Tell you what, after lunch we will go and talk to her and her fri-" The fire alarm rang and Ian sighed "or not…" the intercom buzzed on and shouted "WARNING! LOCKDOWN! LOCKDOWN! DUCK AND COVER UNDER YOUR DESKS OR TABLES" Wolf fell backwards out of his chair and crawled underneath the table, Ian next to him. He looked towards the window where he could only see an empty courtyard, but suddenly a man was running across a courtyard, he looked like he was running for his life. Closely behind him was another man, a man with blood all down his front and his arms outstretched, chasing the first man? After what seemed like hours the lockdown continued. Finally the intercom buzzed "ALL STUDENTS REPORT TO THE CAR AND BUS LOOP FOR EARLY DISSMISSAL" The cafeteria cheered and ran out of the door. Wolf and Ian caught up with Kiara and her friends as Wolf said "I wonder what that was all about" Kiara shrugged and gasped "Hey! Don't you live like 4 houses down from me!?" Wolf blushed while Ian's smile got wider "Why yes he does Kiara, maybe we should all go over to Wolf's for ice cream, his treat of course" Kiara smiled sweetly at Wolf and said "I would love too" Wolf spoke telepathically to Ian "Ass" Ian tried to contain his laughter "Your welcome Wolf"
