"Fencing club will begin on February 28th this Tuesday right after school in the small gym. Anyone is welcome to join this old historic sport, and that concludes today's announcements."
The school PA system went out leaving a definitive chill. This is the first time I witnessed such a phenomena after a month of being accustomed to the constant chatter the students created during the announcements.
"Now, out of curiosity...," my teacher began, "who is interested in joining the Fencing club?"
From the back of the room where I sat, nobody moved and it seemed nobody even chanced a breath.
