What a completely normal, boring, average day at school! Nothing exciting, nope. Not at all.
Whatever!
It was torwards the end of fourth hour, I was in orchestra. We were playing Circle of Life, which I really hate, and My.Olmstead was playing the drums in the background, so we couldn't really hear when the secretary came on with an annoucement. Luckily another teacher had heard and came to inform us that we were to evacuate the school for a fire drill.
And that's what we did.
So my class is standing out here on the sidewalk, watching other classes coming out and standing on the grass and sidewalk further down, waiting for the principal to come out and give us the all clear. There was a police car in front of the main entrance, I noticed, but didn't think much of it. So we waited and waited....waited some more...And we all started getting annoyed and we were tired of standing in the heat.
Then we hear the fire siren sounding out in town. Figured it was a coincedince and there was a real fire somewhere else. Then we hear the fire trucks with their sirens going off coming down the road. One blocking off each end. We were all moved down away from the school more towards the end of the sidewalk.
We were all murming to each other how this was only suppose to be a fire drill. We started asking if there was a real fire in the school, but the teachers didn't know any more than we did.
We're all sittin' in the grass for about half an hour, all nearby roads are blocked off now with police cars and ambulances. Everyone is getting restless. Firemen are just standing around, walking up and down the road, not appearing to be doing anything.
Finally the principal comes out and calls all the teachers over to talk with them in private. Few minutes later we still aren't being told anything, but now we're being moved across the Jr.High's baseball field area and to the bleechers around the track at the High School(not a long walk at all since both schools share the track). I meet up with my friend Shannon and ask her if she knows what's going on. Her first words to me:
"Bomb threat."
And I go,
"Oh my God, are you serious?! I just heard people joking about it!"
I asked her how she knew, and her teacher had been the only one that told his class what was happening. Otherwise, nobody, not even the principal, not us anything. So my friend's classmates had to spread the word, and within minutes, everyone knew.
Now we're sitting in the sun, burning up, hungry, and still don't know exactly what the crap is going on. Everyone was going back and forth, finding thier friends, talking, questioning, some were even singing...
Eventually they let us go in the high school to get some lunch, which was mostly some odds and ends that our cooks through together real quick. But it was still food. We had to eat it outside. People's plates and stuff were blowing away...it was retarded. I spilled peach juice on my foot and I was wearing flops, so now my left foot and my flip flop were are sticky and I had to walk around like that.
Also, around this time period, kids were using their cell phones and calling parents to come get them, lending cell phones to other who needed to make calls. My friend Brianna was the first of my group to leave, and she took my friend Ryan and her brother with, then my friend Shannon left while I was getting my food.
I tried to call my grandmother, but couldn't get ahold of her.I was hoping news of the bomb threat was on the radio so my parents could find out.
Later we were all moved into the high school gym. I was left with two friends, Leah and Kristin. And everyone else who was left over. Not long after, Leah's dad came for her, and nobody was aloud to take any kids but their own unless they had permission from the other parents. So it's just my and Kristin. We went to the bathroom, and I cleaned off my foot and flip flop...lol.
We were just starting to play basketball with some other eigth graders when my grandmother came for me. I promised Kristin I'd try to get ahold of her mother once I got to my grandmother's house. But the time I did, Kristin was already there with her mom where she works.
Well, I don't know if the bomb squad has gotten to the school yet. I really don't know anything more. I don't even know if there's really a bomb, something I sincerely doubt. I bet it was just a prank. One that has really POed me though. We had to leave everything in the school, right? Well my notebook full of my story is still there! Grr...I'd love to get my hands on the caller's neck...
Kill...kill...kill...
