I looked over and saw the students who were under the windows clasping onto their heads; blood poured out from underneath their hands.

A single gun-shot rang out and everything went silent as I fell to the floor. Pain shot up my left side and I groaned in agony. My hand began to feel sticky; and as I lifted it, I saw the warm, crimson liquid covering my entire hand.

Then the world went black…
