Sean and Noah
“Noah, go east. I’ll take the west wing. We’ll meet in the middle.” I pointed, and with a nod- Noah and I ran. Some of the kids were still in the school. I walked down the hall and fought back the need to run into all of the classrooms yelling: “You are all going to die if you don’t get out now!!”Thinking of a way to evacuate the kids wasn’t hard, I simply pulled the fire alarm. I hope I don’t get a referral for this..... They all ran out like there was no tomorrow, yelling and running over other kids. That’s when I saw Mina. She was walking through the crowd. What the hell? She’s going the wrong way! “Mina!” I ran up to her and turned her face to me. “I hate to ask- but...WHY IN THE HELL AREN’T YOU RUNNING THE OTHER WAY?” I was breathing hard, trying to contain myself. She was already calm, which surprised me. “The others might not get this chance to say good bye to you, So I don’t want to blow it.” I tried to smile, of course it wouldn’t work if I just yelled at her. I just pulled her closer and squeezed. Mina, I think you know what I’m going to say... The hug  was cut short, she pushed off me and ran. “Sean- you’ll make it. Don’t worry- I have to go.” I watched her go, at the last minute, I reached for her. The kids dragged me further down the hall.

I caught up with Noah, who was running at break-neck speed for the main doors.
"Did you get them all?"
"Yeah, you?"
"All but the ones outside. I fear there is no more time. we have to get out
immediately!" That’s when I felt it. I soon knew why it took Mina such a long time to push away- she planted the detonator on me. She planted a bomb in here AND she want’s me to set it off. I looked down at it and showed it to Noah. “Well- you think I should?” He nodded. We were about 100 yards away from the doors, and still running. I was dubious on pushing the button, and if I hadn’t slipped- I don’t think I would have. Right when I pushed it- a wave of fear passed over me. “Oh SHIT!! Noah- RUN!” Explosions jarred the school, and just as we ran out the doors- the school went up in a burst of flames. The force threw us onto the grass. I rolled and Noah landed (horribly) on his face. “Noah- you alright, man?” I coughed. The building wasn’t finished erupting, some of the kids lay dead on the floor. I helped Noah up and walked to where we all were supposed to meet. I saw Doris and Quatre sitting down and patching up a kid who suffered from the blast. I saw them, Amy and Chris- but no Duo and Heero. Where are they? Mina and Adam weren’t there either. I helped Noah sit down and walked around. “Mina? Where is Mina?”
Doris and the others looked with me, and with no luck. Abbey, Mina and Adam mush have died in the blast. Doris wasn’t taking the fact that Mina was gone very lightly, that was the most I’ve ever seen her cry- even if pain wasn’t inflicted on her. After a while, Noah and I left. It was time to go on our own. I took one last look at what was left of the school and walked away. Mina. I wish I could have helped you...
