     (3 weeks later)
The sound of a locker door slamming made me jump a foot. My eyes darted around, my heart racing. Carly, stop it, i scolded myself silently. Your ok. I brushed myself off and grabbed my books and headed down the hall. "Carly! Carly OMG you'll never believe what just happened!" She was practically bouncing up and down like a little kid. Her face was full of eagerness. It was almost comical in  a way. I quickly stifled a laugh. "What happened Emma?" i asked her, struggling to keep my voice serious. "James Morris asked me to prom!" she squealed. "That's great Emma! Have you found a dress yet?" Her face fell a little. "No, but i was thinking i wanted it to be a dark red. Like maybe a blood red or something." Suddenly i found myself back in that cold dark room. The gun shots, the blood all over his face. The screams ringing in my ears-"Carls? Carly are you ok?" I shook my head as Emma tried bringing me back to reality. I felt like i couldn't breathe. "Hey Ems i'll just talk to you later." i said quickly and pushed past her down the hallway. I hurried to the bathroom and shut myself in a stall. I felt like i was hyperventilating. I leaned agaist the door of the stall and slowly slid down until i was sitting on the floor. I wrapped my arms around my knees and put my head down. Carly, its ok, i said silently to myself. He can't get you. He's in jail. You'll be ok. Just take a deep breath and-the loudest bang rattled my thoughts and i just burst out screaming. I don't even know why. I couldn't stop screaming, no matter how much i wanted to. I heard the scuffle of feet rushing into the bathroom. Someone was pounding on the stall. "Carly? Carly Its Mrs. Rush the principal. open up!" I had to get out of that stall. I felt like the walls were closing around me. I scrambled to my feet and struggle with the lock. As soon as it came undone, I tried to run out too fast and i felt at the feet of the principal, Emma, and my friend Tyler. They all looked very concerned. My screams soon turned into sobs. Emma helped me to my feet. "C'mon Carls. It's ok." she whispered to me. Then she turned to Mrs. Rush. "Its ok Mrs. Rush. I can take care of her." Emma helped me to the teachers lounge, where Mrs. Rush handed me a class of water. "Carly, what happened?" Emma asked as soon as Mrs. Rush left the room.
