Milton, Jerry and I sat in the side hallway on the second floor of our school, opposite the lift. It was kind of private, especially since there was some study classes on. We should be in that study class however Milton persuaded us to sit in a hallway so that he could play teacher (in other words be a total nerd). He read out of one of the textbooks while Jerry and I were supposed to be listening to him and taking notes but since Jerry was too busy making paper aeroplanes and i just couldn't concentrate because i couldn't stop thinking about Kim we weren't doing well.
There was a loud bang.
I could hear screaming from the classroom next to us.
"What was that?" Milton asked.
I shrugged my shoulders "Maybe a science experiment gone wrong"
Jerry flicked his paper aeroplanes at us both "You two worry too much it'll be nothing"
I shook my head, i wasn't convinced. It sounded too loud to be just nothing.
"Knock it off Jerry!" Milton snapped. He sighed "Come on the girls will be revising so should we"
I agreed with Milton, he was right: i know that Kim is stressing and i am sure that Julie is too. Kim wants to go to some prestigious karate school in Japan but to get in she needs to ace all of her exams. Julie wants to be a vet so she needs to ace the sciences.
Jerry waved his hand in front of my face. "Yo dude what's been going on with Kim and Frank?"
Did i actually have an answer for that question?
I laughed. "I don't think that Kim even knows herself. I hardly think that Frank understands himself"
I told them all about Frank's attempts to try win Kim over and steal her attention. But after seeing most of his failed attempts I don't think that we need to worry that Kim would ever consider dating Frank. I hope she finds that idea as ridiculous as i do.
"And you? What do you think about it all?" Milton asked.
Jerry nodded "It must make you jealous"
I smiled "There is nothing going on between us and anyway there is nothing to be jealous of. Do you two honestly think that Kim would actually be interested in him, especially after every daft advance he has made towards her?"
They both shook their heads.
"She likes you" Jerry pointed out.
I hit the back of the head softly "We are just friends"
I found it hard to hide my smile. The truth is that i do like her and i think i always have, ever since that time i first saw her in the school cafeteria. I never told anyone that. She looked extremely beautiful that day with the hardly any make-up, her lovely blonde hair tied back in a pony and that was before i got to know her.
"Yo earth to Jack" Jerry said impatiently waving his hand in front of my face again.
I blinked my eyes.
"You were away with your angel" Milton said.
"Give it a rest" i said "If anything does happen between us two it will happen before you hear of it"
Suddenly all the classrooms near to us emptied quickly and loudly. What on earth is going on?
"Quickly you three outside now!" A teacher barked at us. "All of you quiet!"
"What is going on?" Milton asked.
"I don't know but as quick as you can move go" She said as we followed everyone down the stairs and out into the yard.
What on earth is going on? There is no fire drill. There is no alarm going off. Everywhere is quiet like a ghost town. Like everything is dead. The teachers looked panicked even though they were trying to hide it. Aren't they meant to keep calm at all times?
"Have you seen Kim yet?" I asked Milton as i looked everywhere for the girls.
He shook his head "Any clues for what's going on?"
"Not yet" Jerry said, he tried to force his way through everyone on the yard to check that our friends made it out okay.
"I hope its nothing serious" Milton said.
I pulled out my phone to check to see if Kim or Julie had text me. No such luck. "Have either of you had a message off the girls?"
They both shook their heads.
Milton looked like he was going to be sick "Why do i have a bad feeling about this whole situation?"
I don't know how i feel but i guess i am more worried now about the girls. It isn't like Kim not to text but maybe with them being in the library her phone is turned off.
"Well its not everyday that they cancel lessons without telling us a reason why" Jerry said
Milton and I smirked "Normally you are the reasons why the classes get cancelled" we reminded him.
"And you both should be thanking me" Jerry said proudly "The sub sinker always wins"
" i wish they would tell us why they've cancelled classes and made us all come out here" Milton said, ignoring Jerry's remark about the sub sinker "My laptops in there"
I agree with Milton, i want to know why classes have been cancelled, why we weren't allowed back in the school and why the teachers looked panicked and scared. And besides that i wanted to know where Kim is. Shouldn't she be outside with the rest of us?
