The Prayer of the Children
The students at Bayville High ran out the doors of the school screaming in fear. Gun shots had echoed through the corridors of the school during the third passing period. At that sound as many students as possible exited to get away from the possible danger inside. Within minutes, police were outside of the school questioning the students who had made it out. The principal had made it out, she was given a cell phone and a lap top computer. With the computer she accessed the school's student files and started to contact parents.
"I'd like you to tell me everything you know, okay? Now what's your name?" the officer started to question students.
"My name is Duncan Matthews, and all I know is that I was at my locker when I heard the shots go off. I'm pretty sure that it was in the area of the math department area."
"Thank you Mr. Matthews. Your knowledge has helped us narrow down our search." The officer walked away, and Duncan gathered with the rest of the cheerleaders and football players that had made it out.
"Hey Duncan it looks like everyone's here, I think," one of the players told him.
"Where's Jean?" Duncan asked after counting the players and cheerleaders to himself.
"I don't know, maybe she's with that Summers guy or that freshman girl?" one of the cheerleaders suggested.
"Thanks, I'm going to look around I'll be back in a few."
"Okay."
Duncan made his way through the crowd of scared fellow classmates, but he didn't spot Jean, Summers, or the freshman girl Jean sometimes hung out with.
Suddenlly, Duncan spotted some of the kids who went to the institute with Jean. "Hey have you guys seen Jean?" he asked.
"We're not all guys," Rogue replied.
"Sorry. Lady and Gentlemen then?"
"No we haven't seen her," Evan told him, "but we haven't seen Scott or Kitty either."
"Vay man, I'm vorried avout them. I think they have a class together or someving?" Kurt told them.
"I think it's Trig." Rogue offered.
"Damn it that's bad."
"What's so bad about it?" Evan asked.
"I think that's where the shots came from. My locker's not too far from there. I just know that it came from that part of the school," Duncan explained.
"Oh no," Rogue said quietly.
"That can't be..." Evan said trying not to except the fact that their friends might be dead or seriously injured. Scott was like his adopted big brother, Jean was like his adopted sister, and Kitty was like his adopted little sister. He didn't want to think that he just lost three members of his family.
"No, they're alvight! They have to be!" Kurt told Duncan. Duncan left Rogue, Evan, and Kurt to think about what he had said and what might have happened to them.
