I dunno, it just came onto me.
Today was kinda hectic too. I think I just need rest. But I'll just 'splain stuff now.

Well yeah, I woke up at 6:30 thinking I was late, but I wasn't. I had to be at Romy's house at 7:50-ish so we can head to B.A.M. together for her graduation. I ran out of my house and walked past her block, 2 more blocks into Dunkin' Doughnuts to buy myself a bagel for breakfast. I went to her house and was invited to sit down and eat my bagel there. We left and took to the subway to B.A.M., it was Romy's graduation so yeah. I was her "mother figure" for the day and tooks lotsa pictures of mah wittle Ro-chan being all grown-up ~~~ X3 ~~ <3
What almost got me hit by a car was running across the street and down the block to buy her a soda when she was thirsty [ROMY! You owe me 9 bucks now!]
So yeah, I was chased away eventually and went home. I sat and watched the Teli for an hour, and then left. I ran out of my house, walked 3 blocks, noticed I forgot Romy's jacket! She gave it to me to give back to her at noon since she was in her dress and gown and stuff. So no place for a jacket. So I RAN BACK to my house, got it, and started to walk quickly down to the Mura, the sushi place, to give it to Romy. I called up Ely and she came to Mura with 2 of her friends and Kim. We sat inside and got sushi and Romy came in with her family so I have back her jacket.

We ate and before we left, I ran to the backyard of Mura and hugged Romy before I left. Damn Helicopters, WHY ARE YOU SO LOUD!? We all looked up and Romy asked, "I wonder why they're so many helicopters flying around..."
Well yeah, we left Mura.
Me, Kim and Ely stood outside and just walked down back to the school. The people where blowing their wistles. "OH NO ELY! WHERE GONNA BE LAAAAATE!!!!" Kim shouted, afraid of being late for class.
"It's too early to go back inside.. you guys still have 5 minutes left of lunch." I said, looking at my phone, clearly reading '12:35pm'
We crossed the street and noticed blending in with swarms of hundreds of kids, were over 50 police officers.
Kim was gone into the pool of kids. I saw kids scared, terrified and crying.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked Ely.
"I don't know..." She responded

"OMG I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" I glanced over to see a cute little blond-haired girl say.
"HE HAD A GUN!!!!" I heard some boys shouting.
"********! HE CAN KILL US! HE HAS A GUN!!!!!" Some tall girls shouted into the air.
I turned to Ely, she looked at me and was being pushed by cops into the school. The security guard was shouting "EVERYONE! GET INTO THE SCHOOL!" she started pushing me and I digs my heels into the ground to stop and say, "I don't go to this school though..."
She glared at me, and shouting sharply "GO HOME THEN!"
I did what she told me to do. Loud helicopters.. damn..
I walked, and Ely called me.
"DONNA! THERE'S A ROBBER IN THE SCHOOL!" I froze inside, my body walking in auto pilot at this point. Not stopping even at the Hand sign that tells you not to cross the street.
"WHAT!?!?!" I shouted, people stared at my volume.
"YES! HE HAS A GUN AND HOMEROOM IS FROZEN!" Ely shouted.
For once in a very long time, fear for a large quantity of people filled me.
"WAIT. THE PUSHED ALL THE KIDS INTO THE SCHOOL WITH AN ARMED MAN!?" I couldn't believe the judgment of the school.
"Yeah." She toled me, very calm and collected.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING!?" I continued to shout.
"I don't know!"
"WHAT THE HELL!? WHO THE ******** DOES THAT!? I mean... like.. SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE HELL!?" I was losing it. Kim, I can only hope she was alright.
"I dunno!"
"LOOK! I"m gonna call my parents. They'll pick up Kim and try to pick you up too, alright?" I can only try to do what I can.

It went on like that. She kept asking for me to call her Aunt, but no luck.

As I was about to dial, my ears overheard a man on his phone.
"Hey Honey, yeah, I can't make a withdrawal from the bank. Yeah, there's police inside and around it. No one can get in so..." his voice vanished over the sound of police cars.
I walked by the Astoria bank. And the man was right about the police. It doesn't take much brain power to put two and two together.

An armed robber made an attempt to rob the Astoria bank. He must have failed though. He ran, ran down to 51. He saw those school doors open and a bunch of kids going inside and snuck his way in. Perfect getaway until the heat of the crime cools down. That's when they find out the robber is in the school. From what I heard, the homerooms were frozen. Doors were locked and windows sealed shut. Kids crying and complaining on how they don't want to die. Kim's teacher told their class to hide under the desks. Ely told me her class was hiding by the lockers. They described the man over the P.A. system as a "Black Male in A Yellow Shirt with Red Dye On One Of His Hands". They didn't mention the gun, but kids saw it and knew.

I walked and calmed myself down as I called my house. I told my mom and she sent my dad to drive down to the school to pick Kimberly up. I just walked, my mind lost. A car stopped almost hitting me, I was so lost. My feet still moving.
Get Home Donna. He Can Run Out of The School And Hurt Anyone at Any Moment.
I wanted only but to be safe myself. I knew those kids were safe, but I worried for myself at that point.

I heard a car honking, it sounded like my parent's car. I looked to see it WAS the car and my Dad inside. The window was all the way down by the passenger seat. I put my hand inside and lift up the little locking thing. I sat inside and shouted "THE ROBBER IS IN THE SCHOOL! WE NEED TO GET KIM AND ELY!"

We drove, and got Kim from school. She was escorted by a police officer down to the main office where I just knew it... she was crying until there was no more tears in her body. I held her close, my little sister terrified of what has happened. I needed to act brave and comfort her.
We couldn't get Ely, we aren't her parents [but I found out my family is written down on her Emergency Contact list...]

Things started to cool down, Kimberly had me call the parents of her friends. Telling them about the situation and if they can pick up their children.

I called Vanessa, telling her I was going to be late because of the thing involving a gun and kids in 51. When I got to the mall, I explained everything to them.

We chilled there and went to get stuff for their cosplay. In target, Ely called me during her Art Class.
"Donna, I need to be cheered up. Can you get Lewis to come to the mall?"
I protested. Knowing my friends hate/dislike Lewis and he can't stand loud shouting people. And yes, he did get totally pissed off.

Alex for the first time met everyone [except Romy D=] and joined us at the Mall.

It was fun, but crazy.

I took the train back with Alana, Cherry, Ely and Alex. They got off at their stop before mine, and Alex just continued taking the train after my stop since he lives farther from the mall then I do.

All I want is for everyone to be happy. I hope Alex isn't too hurt from being tackled or scared of Vanessa .__.
And I hope Lewis doesn't hate me, he looked really irritated and said he was just "Holding It In" but yeah, he was pissed off.

And now, all I want to do is curl up in bed and rest with a heavy heart =/
