Mother nature's sick game

Couldnt do shit but roll my eyes

"Who can tell me about prions"
Ms. Reese says breaking me out of my dissociative state,
Staring directly at me.
The classmates in front of me turn their bodies facing mine, some chuckling with big grins.
I slump in my seat hoping to take the heat of their glares off of me.

"Surprised she came today"
Snobby Ashley says between gritted teeth, preceding to flick  her long, brown hair off her shoulders in my direction.

"Surprised daddy hasn't paid to get you off from coming to school,
he should know you aren't really going to excel anyway"
I hiss back, sinking yet again into my seat.
Clearly fed up from years of torture.
Her friends gasp and chuckle at my response.

"Ladies, do we have a problem?"
Ms. Reese says completely stopping her lecture; peering at us from under her glasses like she were a librarian.
"All good"
Ashley peeps at me again,
flicking her hair one last time.
I couldn't do shit but roll my eyes.

The time slowly passes as Ms. Reese continues to ramble on about diseases,
Staring at us with her ancient eyes
None of paying attention, yet she still goes on and on.
There's three minutes left of class,
The last class of the day I think, relieved.
Only one more month of school and I'll never have to deal with these people again.

"Attention"
A raspy voice says coming from the school intercom, breaking my thoughts.

"I need all student and teacher faculty to report to the gymnasium immediately;
Under no circumstance should anyone leave this building
regardless if parents are here or not.
once everyone is here we'll talk more"
The speaker ticks off as voices start to fill the room.
"I'm fucking bouncing"
Ashley annoyingly whimpers to her friends.

"What's going on?"
Rodrick, the quiet kid of the class who only sleeps and reads apocalyptic stories asks.
"No clue, but we need to all line up single file and find out"

Everyone staggers to the door,
Pushing each other in and out of line to see who can find out what's going on first.
The rooms getting hotter by the second as everyone's panic and voices fill the room.

I peep out the window,
Watching the May weather blow the trees side to side
The sun beating down on the grass as insects buzz around the windows.
Nothing seems out of place,
but deep down I know somethings not right.
"Why don't I have service"
Ashley screeches out stomping her feet, basically beating her phone up.
"Oh, calm down you're such a damn drama queen"
Her friend says nudging her
"Don't fucking touch me"
Ashley spits out,
Clearly aggravated by the heat and delay in getting out of school.

"Okay class, lets go"
Ms Reese informs us,
Opening the class room door;
She leads us out as we follow one by one.

Hitting the doorway I look around at the other classrooms preparing to leave. Most wearing panicked faces as they bite their nails and try to get service on their phones.

"What do you thinks happening?"

I overhear two of my classmates talking

"I heard it's about that incident where that
guy tore off and ate that man's face, do you remember?"

The girl nodded her head,
I could hear her swallow the fear.
