“said my friend Lionel, “would be a good name for a rock band.”“Yeah,” I said, “like Guns N’ Roses.”I was at school, in the hallway outside the main office. Kids and teachers were rushing around. It must be before first period. There was a sign on the door with an arrow pointing to the media center: THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE A BOOK FAIR! I was wearing my backpack. Everything looked so…normal! I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. It hurt.What a relief! I could go back to my normal life. At last....And then suddenly…“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkk!”Our school secretary, Mrs. Conners, came running out of the office.“It’s Principal Miller!” she shouted. “He’s…dead!”Panic. There was yelling and running and sobbing. Cell phones appeared instantly and everybody was dialing 911. The nurse, Mrs. Robinson, came running over from her office with a first aid kit. The vice principal, Mrs. DeLuca, came running out of her office.It seemed as if only a few seconds had passed before sirens were screaming down the street and cars screeched to a halt outside school.MoreLessRead More Read Less
