The teachers started telling students to block the doors. The also pulled down the blinds and told students to put their phones on silent and stay quiet. Everyone was sitting against the walls. My brothers "wow I think that's the first time I've thought of them as that" were sitting next to us while Xavier, Max, and Caleb were a few feet away. Asher and Archer were with a group at edge of the wall but I didn't see Arthur. "Hope he's in the hallways and gets shot" I didn't realize it but I guess I was smiling at the thought

Matei: "Why are you smiling we're in lockdown"

Emilia: "What...Oh....Nothing

Stefan: Gosh, I wonder what's going on they're not telling us anything"

Bella: "Why don't you text Adrian and ask"

Stefan: "why didn't I think of that, I mean we basically own the school"

Texts:

Stefan: Hey Adrian we're in a code blue lockdown at school what's going on

Adrian: It's under control don't worry about it

Stefan:"Adrian said not to worry, I wonder if this is part of what he said last night

Everyone: "What do you mean"

Stefan started saying "Well I heard him tell dad that he had a plan for dealing with Arthur and" before he was cut off by the teachers making an announcement.

Teacher 1: "Due to the circumstances we feel it's only right to inform you of what's going. A student named Arthur James is believed to have brought an .40-caliber Beretta Px4 Storm Subcompact handgun"

Students gasping was heard all around the cafeteria.

Teacher 2: We're revealing the name of the student so if you see him tell a teacher immediately.

Teacher 1: "Asher and Archer James may speak to you for a moment"

Asher and Archer went to the teacher and they were whispering to each other but they were so loud I bet the whole room heard. Their conversation was mostly the teachers asking if they thought their brother had been acting any different lately and would have had a motive for bringing a weapon to school.

After they finished talking they went back to their spot and kept talking to each other.

I know Arthur has done some pretty horrible stuff but would he really be dumb enough to shoot up the school. I mean what possible reason could he have.

All of a sudden a horrible thought popped into Emilia's head

Emilia: "Guys, I just thought of something really bad"

Everyone: "What"

Emilia: "Well, when I met Asher he said he found out we were adopted by the covaci's using his dad's Interpol computer. So what if he told Arthur about you guys, and well you guys are loaded and in some twisted way he decided bringing a gun to school and hurting Bella could benefit him"

Matei: "If he found out we own the school and then there's a school shooting it'll probably be in the news and that would hurt the business"

Stefan: "Do you really think Arthur would do all that though, he doesn't seem that smart"

Bella nervously laughed thinking  "No way"

We kept talking for awhile just waiting for all this to be over when suddenly we heard loud banging and crashing noises from outside the cafeteria. The noises weren't gunshots but what the hell were they.
