I Have Gas!

Well, not really, but my school does! This morning, when Valerie, Nik, Andrea, and I arrived in our school's parking lot, we exited Valerie's van like usual, except today the janitors were telling us to stop. So we stopped in the middle of the parking lot and looked confused. Apparently, the school was being evacuated. The first thing I decide to say is, "The school is going to explode!"

But, of course, nothing that cool happened. Apparently a gas leak had occured in the cafeteria at about 7:05 this morning, and the faculty was getting all the students out and up to the football stadium/track field. So we, the student population of about 1200 of my high school, were forced to stand in this place in cold weather, half of us in tee-shirts--including me, which was why it's so horrible--for an hour and a half.

Of course, someone had to hear the complaints of how cold it was, so about seven buses were parked on the hill leading up to the stadium and we were to sit in them if we were really, really cold. No one really cared. We wanted to leave. But noooo, the school board was having none of that. They finally out us back in the building.

And utter choas broke out. Well, not chaos, but there was a lot of arguing. The middle school, just last semester, was released for a water main break that could be fixed in ten minutes. A gas leak is a tad bit worse than water. "o noes i m getin wet!!!1!" Losers.

Luckily, we were released ten minutes after being called into the building, and there was an uproar of cheering high schoolers in enclosed classrooms all over the place. So I have no school today.
