• I went to the bathroom with my friend Alex (who is a girl) and while we were in there something happened. We had a lock down and it was a real one. We got so scared we decided to stay in the bathroom. "Alex what are we gonna do?!" I whispered. She started to shiver and we got goosebumps. "Sneak out really quickly." Alex whispered back. We kept quiet, and heard the guy in the hallway saying "I'VE GOT A GUN HERE! I AIN'T AFRAID TO USE IT!" and you could hear him loading the gun. "Riley this might be it." Alex whispered to me. I started crying, because I was scared out of my mind. "Shh he might hear you!" Alex whispered to me again. I wiped away the tears and sniffed. "I'm gonna peak." I whispered. I crawled over to the door, and then silentley opened it. I saw him looking the other way holding a gun, a machine gun.

    I quietly closed it and crawled back over to Alex. "This floor is gross, but he's got a machine gun." I whispered to Alex. She got all big eyed, "How are we gonna get out?" She whispered back. Silence for five minutes. "Alex...if we die today I want you to tell everyone I know I love them." I whispered to her. "If I die I want you to do the same. If we both die together we help out our friends as souls." Alex whispered back. I nodded yes and we began crawling to the door, quickly ran out, we looked for a door that said the letters S.I.N for "Safe in here". "YOU!" The guy with the gun said. "What about me?" I asked, as I reached in my pocket for my knife.

    "You're about to die." He said and aimed the gun at me, "Any last words?" he continued. "Alex, I LOVE YOU! Not as a lesbo way I mean like as-" I started but the guy cut me off by pulling the trigger back and let go. "RILEY I LOVE YOU TOO!" Alex shouted ran infront of me as the bullet hit her heart. "ALEX!" I said, I ran to her side as she was on the ground, dead. I started to tear up "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" I shouted at the guy. "Why would she do that I wanted to kill you first, oh well mine as well do so now." He aimed the gun at me as he was speaking those words. I ran through the doors, up the stairs, ran to the costume room next to the stage. I looked for a bow and arrow, luckily I found it and a rubber band. I tied my knife's handle to the arrow. The guy came infront of me "Whatcha got there a toy? Ha ha you think you can kill me with that?" He asked.

    "I don't think-" I began and aimed the arrow, pulled the line back up to my face. "I know." I said and let go of the arrow. The guy got stabbed in the chest and he died. Blood gushed all around him. I walked over to him, pulled out the arrow, and walked back to the class I was in. I was holding the arrow with the bow on my shoulder. "I got him." I told the teacher. The teacher gave me a crazed look as if she was pissed, but also smirked. I guess she was mad but happy. I put my knife back in my pocket, after taking it off the arrow. "The thing is....he got Alex.." I said. Every stared at me, they knew Alex was a good friend to me but I never really talked about her that much. One of my besties, Kyle, got up and hugged me he didn't let go. "Kyle you were gonna ask her out...." I said, and then hugged him, I didn't let go either.

    The rest of the class we talked about Alex, actually all day we did, and the teacher called the Principal to make him at least say annoucement about her. He did he said "Today we have a lost of a student. Alex Griffin, may she rest in piece. She was a good friend of Riley Simmons, a sister, and a daughter. She wanted to let everyone know that she loves everyone who was nice to her and who was her friend. I would like to thank Riley Simmons for getting the introuder, but finding a bow and arrow, tying her knife on the arrow, and shooting the man. However no knifes are aloud at school but I'll let you off with a warning Riley. That is all." Kyle and I cried on eachother's shoulders. The parents of Alex came in the class and hugged me saying "You meant a lot to Alex. She wanted to repay you someway for saving her from dying last sitiuation, I guess this is one way for her to do it." the mom said. "I told her don't get even with me." I said and started to tear up.
