My crazy morning(Gun threat)
So today seemed like any other day, I woke up a little early got already for school and got my second badge in Pokemon Pearl.
I went outside at 6:55 AM to wait at my bus stop with my sister, telling her we should try to get on the bus first so we don't end up stuck in the back.
We get on the bus no problem and slowly make our way to school.
For some reason when we arrived all the buses were there not letting off the kids, are bus joined them at the end of the line.
Nobody knows whats going on, but no one really plays it any mind thinking that its just a drill. Around 7:10 a teacher comes to our bus and tells us that the school is on external lock down, he says that we'll be let back into the school in about 15 minutes.
Around 7:25 a cop arrives and enters the school, everyone jokes him because of his short shorts. The Teacher never came back and were not being let into school some kids are starting to worry. Around 7:40 three cop cars arrive, everyone continues to get tense, but everyone starts freaking out when Channel 6 News and Channel 13 News arrives. Around 8:00 some girls on their cell phones tell us that a man is supposedly in our school with a gun.
Finally around 8:15 they start letting kids go into the school, were being watched by police who are making everyone enter through the gymnasium. Teachers around us tell all the kids on my bus to get onto the bleachers, as I'm about to get down teachers start calling all the boys to go into the next room, I wave goodbye to my sister and follow a line of guys to the next room.
In the room I see teachers and police officers taking students book bags and looking through them, shortly a blond teacher takes my bag and begins to look through it. She asks me, "Do you have a lighter?" To which I simply replied, "No." Once she finished looking through my bag I'm pushed towards the Principal of my school who has some weird baton thing that makes slight buzzy noises. My principal asks me to step forward then waves the baton around me checking both my sides. I'm then told to proceed to my 1A class, rather then head their I decide to sneak out of the school. I'm not sticking around when a an armed guy is on the loose.
I start walking around the school checking all the exits for a chance to escape, unfortunately most of them were being watched by teachers. Luckily the exit near the Gymnasium wasn't under watch so I attempted to flee through there, once I reached the track outside I saw a teacher waiting outside for escapees like me so I quickly went back into the school. I continued to check around the school, but every exit was being watched. I passed by my sister and told her that all the exits were being watched, she wanted to leave as badly as I did. When I went to the cafeteria exit I noticed that if I used the door closest to the vending machines the teacher couldn't see me. So very calmly I walked out the school towards the cars, in the distance I could see teachers and cops talking so I slowly walked towards the cars hoping they didn't see me and if the did I hoped they would assume I was a teacher. Once the cars blocked my view of them I sprinted across the parking lot and across the next street.
Though I was out of school I wasn't home free yet, I couldn't walk strait to my house because their were cops and teachers blockading the road. I walked down a unfamiliar street hoping to turn left eventually and start heading towards me house. Lamely the street just kept going and just then a Cop's siren went off... I couldn't let the cop see me. I ran across the street and cut through someone's backyard and found myself in a small court. As I walked in the direction I assumed was towards my house, I came across a bunch of elementary schoolers and an adult watching them waiting for the bus to pick them up. As I passed the adult asked me if I was a student from that school that just got locked down, I told her that we were forced to wait on the buses and that supposedly a armed man was in the school if he was caught or not I don't know. She asked me if the guy with the gun was fact or rumor, I told her I didn't know, all I knew was that they were searching all the kids that went into the school. Just then the elementary bus came, and I can't make this one up, all the kids started running not wanting to be stuck on their bus. Eventually they stopped and the bus picked them up, but it was so funny. I slowly made my way home trying to act natural if any cops drove past me, I finally got home around 9:00 and started writing this.
Talk about a crazy day.
