Tornado Thursday & Fire Friday

It was third period on a stormy Thursday morning. My classmates and I were busy working on math, when all of a sudden, a loud siren sounded from the p.a. system in the classroom. My math teacher, and the other teachers on the third floor, had no idea what was happening. It was a tornado warning! Quickly, my fellow classmates and I marched down the stairs to the ground floor. We had to sit facing the lockers for forty-five minutes. Thankfully, the tornado did not hit our area and and we were able to return to our normal schedule.

Friday, I got out of drawing and comp. early and headed to the restroom to put my hair up in a ponytail. Once I was done putting my hair up, I went back outside to the hall and found everyone walking to the bluff. I asked one of my classmates what was happening and soon found out that there had been a fire in the gym. Since there is no p.a. in the bathroom, I had no clue what was happening. The school stayed on the bluff for about fifteen minutes and then we were allowed to return to our classes. We soon found out that a dryer in one of the lockerooms had caught fire and was burnt to a crisp. I was relieved that nobody was hurt and there was no damage to the gym.

It was a long, but exciting, week at school! We have three weeks remaining until the beginning of finals. My social life, except for a graduation party or two, is about to come to a screeching halt.
