don't be a fool go to school

Hi, Well I made it to school today (my car finally got fixed) so yeah I missed a ton of stuff but at least I got to see my friend Danny again after like three weeks. So bad news my internet at home got cut off. Well to be exact my phone got cut off but since I have no phone I have no internet. I guess from now on I’ll only be able to post at school until I get my phone back on. Yesterday I also got the chance to talk to my friend Danielle (the school friend who transferred) I text messaged her on my cell and she called me back to talk a little but she was with her significant other so I didn’t talk to her long. Well since I want to post a new chapter in my story I’ll wrap this post up. Also I’m not sure if I’ll be able to comment much on your guy’s sites seeing as how I’m only in the computer lab for like an hour a day. (Right now I’m suppose to be looking up WW2 stuff) so please don’t delete me from your friends lists! “My friend Rory” Chapter three: almost eleven the rest of first hour past by relatively normally and slowly as did second and third hour. Ellie and I did our work peacefully just living yet another day at school. It was now the beginning of fourth hour and I decided to tell Ellie about the somewhat cryptic message left on Rory’s myspace. "Yeah that's a weird post" Ellie said while scribbling down notes from the blackboard. While she did that I watched some of the other students in the class. A group of kids in the corner especially a boy named Danny was listening to his c.d. player while taking pictures of himself with his camera phone. His two friend’s girl's named Danielle and Cassie were talking and laughing at things that no one else would find funny. Other students were listening half heartedly to the teacher as he droned on about something that no one really cared about. I raised my hand to go to the bathroom and left the classroom glancing back at the class just once before heading to the bathroom. as I pushed the bathroom door opened and entered I heard the front doors of the school bang opened and closed again I thought nothing of it and kept on my way. I was only in the bathroom for about a minute and I was about to exit the stall to wash my hands when I heard a loud ringing echo throughout the school after my initial shock I quickly realized that it was the fire alarm. I heard the bathroom door open and a woman’s voice call out "any students in here need to exit right now we're having a fire drill" "alright I called back" though I was tempted to just hide out in the bathroom until the drill was over. From the bathroom I could hear all the noises coming from the hallway. I could hear everyone talking the same old normal chatter between students until something not so normal cut in to the mundane mix. "He’s got a gun!" I heard someone yell, I froze unsure if this was a joke or not but it had to be a joke! There was no way that anything like that would happen at my school I thought. I placed my hand on the handle of the stall preparing to exit until I heard another yell "everyone run!" it was then that I heard a mass of yelling and the most bone chilling sound I’ve ever heard a gunshot. "Oh god he just shot the mark!" someone yelled, I knew who mark was it was the humble security guard that worked at the school. A panic broke out in the school and I felt my heart drop to my feet other girl's were in the bathroom with me I realized as I heard one of them ask: "is this for real?" I heard her ask "yeah I think so" another answered. I wanted to answer too I wanted to tell the girls not to say anything lest we be caught and shot. It was then in my greed for my own safety that I remembered that my brother and Ellie were still out there! Still in danger but I couldn't bring myself to move. More gunshots rang out still more screaming, I recoiled against the back wall of the stall. Tears leaking from my eyes. "Who-who would bring a gun to school?" I wondered desperately was it some crazed man that broke into the school? Or a more terrifying thought was it a student? And if it was then who? Before my thoughts could continue I heard the bathroom door fly open and I froze my heart stopped beating at least that's what it felt like. It more so felt like a new terror unlike anything I had ever felt before. Hysterical crying was heard inside the bathroom and I knew it was a student “help me! For the love of god someone help me!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. I heard her try to pull open the stall next to mine but to no avail. "Let me in please! Please I don't wanna die!" she cried "no" the girl in the stall said "you'll get us all killed!" she screamed at the hysterical girl "please! How can you do that?!? Please! I don't wanna die in the bathroom!" she was pleading I couldn't take it I couldn't hear someone beg for their life like that. in a moment of bravery I pulled open my stall and peaked out I saw the girl standing there her face a wreck make up ran down her eyes and she was shaking uncontrollably I also noticed something I wish I hadn't her shirt was covered in blood. I recognized the girl as a junior named Julie "get in here!" I yelled at her she raced to my stall and squeezed herself inside with me "thank you! Oh god thank you!" she cried clutching on to me. I quieted her down a bit "what's going on out there?" I asked feeling no braver then before I had let her in my stall. "My boyfriend got shot he's dead!" she sobbed out. "But who? Who has the gun?" I asked franticly, before I could hear her answer the bathroom door opened again and this time I was sure it wasn't another survivor. It was far too quiet to be anyone who had just escaped being shot. I heard the hollowed footsteps walking in an even tone, as I heard those steps I thought about everything I had ever seen on school shootings, I was trying to remember what those survivors did to live through the experience but I could almost guarantee that none of them were cornered in a bathroom by the shooter. The steps drew closer and my heart beat faster so fast I was sure everyone could hear it, I was sure we'd be caught. Just as suddenly as the footsteps had started they stopped and I sick silence filled the echoes bathroom. "It’s no use in hiding I know you girls are in here" the shooter said right away I knew the shooter was a boy but I couldn't tell who it was. Was it a student that went to our school? "Girls don't be afraid I’ll make it nice and quick" the voice said, as the words left his mouth a sick sense of realization struck me. I knew who the shooter was, words echoed into my head "don't go to school tomorrow alright?" suddenly the stall door was kicked in. in all truthfulness I had expected the shooter to just shoot up the door thus killing us for sure. I found my self praying as the door was kicked again this time forcing it off its hinges. Julie started to cry hard and to be honest I couldn't no tears would come as I saw the face of the shooter. It all sunk in the shooter standing before us holding his weapon proudly was none other then my friend Rory. "this is it" I thought "I’m going to die here at school in the girls bathroom killed by my friend who went on a murderous rampage" I waited for the sound, the last sound I would ever hear the shot of the gun that would blow me away, but that shot never came. "Layla?" I heard my name being said I opened my eyes slowly looking up at Rory from the floor where Julie and I had huddled. I saw Rory truly now his face shown a true surprise at my being there and I was sure if I wasn't so scared my face would show the same. "Why are you here today?!?" Rory yelled at me "i-i-don't know!" I said honestly afraid. Even though Rory was my friend there was still no certainty that he wouldn't shoot me still. "I told you not to come to school today! I told you!" he said "I know I’m sorry I didn't know you'd kill people, I-I never thought you'd kill people!" I found myself cowering in fear from him. "Relax layla" he began "I’m not going to kill you, your my friend" Rory said calmly "but everyone else here is dead" he told me glaring at Julie. What he's going to keep killing? I thought "no Rory please don't kill anyone else!" I begged "sorry layla, I have to keep going" Julie screamed and before I could do anything a shot was fired. My eyes widened I felt a warm stickiness on my face and hands. I turned to look at Julie who was right next to me, to my horror Julie was dead a bullet hole adorned her neck and a sicking feeling hit me as I realized that it was Julie’s blood on my face on my hands. I screamed and the tears that had had refused to come before now were rushing down my face Rory turned away from me "it had to be done" he said in a somber tone "now for the others" he whispered "no Rory!" I yelled still crying. I got over my shock and crawled away from Julies body "please Rory don't do it don't!" I yelled with all my might "Rory looked back at me smiling in the light of the bathroom I could see the gun he held a small pistol with loads of ammunition strapped to him "the guns nothing fancy just enough to get the job done" Rory told me as he watched me staring at it.” I better hurry, layla get out of here" he said "Rory stop" was all I could manage to say and even that barely came out "did your brother and Ellie come to school too?" he asked "yes" I whispered, how could I have forgotten them? I can't promise their alive" Rory told me "you better go look for them. I wanted to stay, I wanted to help those girls still trapped in the bathroom but the urge to look for my brother was far greater, I was still undecided until Rory whispered these words to me "if you don't go I’ll shoot you layla" with those words I left the bathroom crying I was out in the hall when I heard the screams and gunfire. That’s all for now! ~redmoonchick~
