Fire False Alarm

Today at lunchtime our school’s fire alarm went off. The teachers said it was not a drill, and soon firetrucks came, three of them.  Since the teachers said it was not a drill, everyone was scared for their stuff and Joey ended up bringing all of his electronics with him, his laptop on which we watched the first couple minutes of “Space Jam”. Pretty soon a lot of students claimed that they saw some guy bolt out of the school, jump the fence, and run into the forest. I personally am not sure of the truth in that, but you never know. People dispersed from those weird lines teachers always make you stand in (which make sense at first, but after attendance is taken, they kind of serve no point) and we all got really bored really quickly.

After what felt like forever, the firemen finally came back out, looking both confused and annoyed. A couple of my peers say that they heard the firemen say something about none of the fire alarms being pulled, but of that they have no proof, and don’t believe them. At this point, multiple were undergoing a struggle not to follow the mysterious boy from earlier into the woods, to see if they could catch him, but they quickly thought better of it and went back to watching “Space Jam”.  Eventually we were allowed to go back in, which was nice, since we were out in the hot sun. After a quick check around, there wasn’t the slightest traces of a fire anywhere, and we couldn’t find any fire alarms that had been pulled. I was confused, but then remembered that there were two other schools sharing the building, and adult learning center, and an aboriginal learning center, either of which could have done it. But what really annoyed me in the end, was that that took up our entire lunch break, and we didn’t get an extended lunch. Me, William and Joey were planning on working on Dungeons and Dragons characters for William’s new campaign!

Oh well, i guess we can work on our characters tomorrow, what matters is that this school wasn’t burned down, this haven for those who don’t fit at normal schools.
