~*~ Blondes the new Pink~*~

School day started out normal, first period went by as usually.. and we were all getting settled down into second period when Mr. Jones came over the speaker and told us to start our lockdown. The first thought that goes through everyones mind is that its only a drill… so we slowly make our way into the computer lab, turning off all the lights and just sitting on the floor. I first started realizing that it was maybe real when our teacher kept saying.. you know I don’t think this is a drill, its real. Some kids were joking and laughing about it.. I mainly was just conserned about my nap that I was taking on the floor.  When the day seemed to get longer and Mr. Jones wasn’t calling the lockdown off, we all knew it was real. I wasnt that scared or anything, i didnt think that there was something serious going on just maybe a stranger in the building or something.  When Jones came on a second time and told the teachers to go and read their emails, we knew something was going on because he wasnt saying it over the intercom. Our teacher of course came in and told us what was going on and what the email said, so everyone got a little more tense. We weren’t aloud to use our cellphones but i think that everyone said screw that idea and all cellphones were out and being used. I know that I kept getting txts from my parents, which was weird for me because i didnt even know they could use txts. I looked at the teacher and told her that i was going to txt my parents back and tell them i was ok, which i believe she started understanding where we were all coming from and let us slide.  When we finally got the announcement about what was going on, why were in lockdown, and what was happening next, we pretty much already knew what was going on. About a half hour later, we heard bangings on the door and Mr. Murphy yelling that he was coming in our class room. At first just him and a police officer walked in.. then we realized wow there are 4 SWAT team officers int here to. Fully dressed in their armor, with there huge helmets and rifles strapped across the front of them. It was very scary seeing this. I think this was the time i realized that it was real. When we had to put our hands on everyones shoulders people that it was a great idea to run themselves out of the doors, and pretty much drag all the slow people down.  Finally when we stepped outside for the first time which seemed like forever, we were greeted with cameras in our face and worried parents standing outside.  We walked into the civic center which was alright, I was one of the first classes in there so it wasnt too crowded. After sitting in the civic center a while, we got the new that it was false…. the reaction was priceless… everyone was pretty “pissed” off. I dont think there was one person in there that didnt want to beat the crap out of that kid right there and then. I will admit i was one of them. I couldnt believe that i had that much time in my life wasted by something so stupid and immature, that now i have to come back another day out of my summer for something  that could of not happened, if that kid wouldnt of lied. The thing i think is the worst is that they did it right after the REAL tragedy at virginia tech. Im still mad about the deal something so dumb.
