Today in Chemistry, fourth period, we were all diligently working on our worksheets. The class was completely silent, a pin could have been heard if dropped, when suddenly a blood-curdling scream rent through the air of peacefulness. Everybodynearly jumped out of their skin, a few gasped and looked around wildly. Everyone was rather concerned for what sounded like the poor girl having her arm hacked off down the hall. The scream was so audible and conveyed a very alarming, intense, and instinctual message telling everyone to immediately run out of the class room and investigate or take cover. The movie Scream couldn't have produced a more original or terrifying scream. Ms. Kraemer, the chemistry teacher, went out into the hall but by that time the girl was probably running for her dear, endangered life. She came back in and told us to shut up and get back to work. Sasha turned to me with his hand pressed to his chest, "H-how-how are people not freaking out right now?! That gave me a heart attack." Even I was more than a little startled and I do not scare easily at all.
It was actually rather hilarious and when my pulse had slowed a bit I wondered whether it couldn't have been a very bored prepubescent high school boy. But the scream was just too genuine. When the period ended and I walked out of the class room I half expected to see a pool of blood down the hall. We were in the science wing so maybe some very vain girl had had something blown up in her face and when she discovered her lack of eyebrows, which she would have paid for to be perfectly sculpted, she just could not handle the shock. The world may never know.
