They were like fireworks. Only louder. Stronger. More rapid, more strangely louder.
I covered my ears. It sounded like they were coming from outside. I looked towards the doorway.
And I saw.
Billy Burnett, some boy in my math who talked too much and mouthed off the teachers was backed up against a locker. He was crying. He never cried. He was staring down the hall at something I could not see. I squinted at him, trying to see what he was looking at.
And then, all of the sudden, he was screaming.
I stared down in shock at his chest.
I stared at it too.
There were three red, gaping, seeping dark holes of blood. Staining his blue sweater.
His mouth lay open.
And then he slid slowly to the ground.
I screamed.
He was dead.
He just got shot.
He was dead.
And I saw him.
