• It started as a normal day at school. My little brother Ben and I had to walk to school again today, because my mom’s car blew its engine last week. It’s been really warm for the past few weeks and not a cloud in the sky, not even a breeze from the wind. My mom always says, “Its global warming”, but to me global warming is just a scam created by the government. When I got to class, it was 9:10am. I was late for class.


    As soon as I walked into class, My math teacher Mrs. K ask me where I’ve been, she also reminded me that I was ten minutes late for the math test. I told her I had to walk to school and since I live kind of far from the school, it takes me a long time. She then told me that I should have left earlier to avoid being late. I turn to the direction of my desk and under my breath I said, “Stupid b***h”, I said it a little louder then I wanted it to be, so I look at her face but she didn’t seem to notice, thank god.


    I was sitting in my desk writing my math test, while making sure Mrs. K wasn’t looking in my direction while I sneak a peak at the persons test next to mine. While cheating off the persons test, I look in the direction of the teacher. Mrs. K was looking right at me, as if she’s been watching me since the test started. Then, Mrs. K yells my name that could pierce anyone’s ear. Mrs. K told me to hand in my test, which means I get an automatic zero. So I stand up, I walk to her desk, drop it on her desk, and as I walk towards my desk, I take a glimpse out the window. My mouth dropped as I looked through the window, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a Mushroom Cloud.


    It was probably the most frightening thing I’ve ever seen. It was gigantic, the smoke from the atom bomb filled the sky, it felt like it was right in front of me, but it was a few hundred miles away. It froze my blood cold. As the floor started to rumble, all my classmates were scared of the thought of an earthquake, if only they knew what it truly was. I was just about to mention the mushroom cloud until the intercom said that all teachers must escort they’re students to the basement immediately.


    I wasn’t thinking of what I was doing at the time, it felt like a dream, but I was running… to find Ben. He was in the seventh grade so his class was on the second floor, but since I’m in the eleventh grade and my class was on the main floor, I had to travel a flight of stairs. I ran to the stairs as fast as I could while trying to skip as many steps as possible.
    “Ben, Ben!” I was shouting while I ran up the stairs


    When I made it up to the second floor, every student and teacher ran out of they’re classroom to the stairs, they were all scattered across the hallway. I couldn’t see Ben through the crowed of people, so I yelled his name at the top of my lungs a couple of times, just until I noticed his arms waving in the air, as if he’s signalling an airplane.
    Ben yells, “I’m over here, what’s your problem?”
    “Wait there!” I yell to Ben, while I’m trying to get through the crowed.
    “But we need to go to the basement” Ben said.
    “JUST STAY THERE! This ain’t going to be like one of those ******** movies where I lose you, so just STAY THERE!” I say angrily.
    “What the hell are you talking about?” Ben says confusingly.
    As I’m trying to run through the crowed, I crash right into the gym teacher, Mr. Williams.


    Mr. Williams and I end up on the floor, rolling from the pain. I heard Mr. Williams say, “son of a…” my head was killing me, it felt as if a brick hit me right between the eyes, but I quickly pulled myself up and started running towards Ben. I almost reached Ben when someone grabbed my collar on my shirt.


    It was Mr. Williams. He says to me, “Stop Screwing around and get your a** down to the basement.” He then starts pulling me towards the stairs. I begged him to let me go, but he wasn’t listening, so I did what I had to, I elbowed him in the gut and ran over to Ben. When I got to Ben I heard Mr. Williams say, “I’ll get you ya little punk”, but I didn’t stick around to hear what was next.


    Ben and I then ran to the main floor, Ben said, “Hey, lets hide in here.”
    One of the classroom doors was left open. “No! I said, we’d have to go to the basement.”
    “But that teacher that was chasing us will be down there, and you’ll be in trouble.” Ben said
    “Fine, we’ll hide in here, just stay low to the ground.” I said.
    We ran inside the classroom, and then I locked the door so no one could open the door.
    “Man, that was the coolest thing you’ve ever done, you actually beat up the gym teacher.” Ben said. “Why’d you do it?”
    Then I Tell Ben, “Because I love you and if anything Were To happened, I would wan't to stay with you.”
    Ben says, “WOW, you say that like as if the world’s going to…


    The END
