Fire “Drill”

Well what do you know “ring ring ring” right in-between classes, you guessed it, fire bell.  Yea.. well no way, its not a drill.  So, I walk out side and what do you know teacher aid.  ”Go back to class,” she says to hordes of nervous students. So I turn to my friend next to me, “You want to stay outside,” cause the fire bell was still ringing.  He was kinda like, I don’t know, so we went inside.  Kids were going crazy; screaming, pushing, running, it was chaos.  Then, Ms. Brown, the assistant principal comes up behind us, “Quiet, evacuate the building immediately.”  Everyone’s like shit, it’s real and we all walk outside real quiet.  Then you know what?  We hear fire trucks coming.  So we all stand outside, it’s pretty cold like 35 and drizzling.  20 minutes later, “Everyone may return to the building,” comes over the PA system.  Turns out the whole thing was just a faulty smoke detector, which was replaced.This is the second time this has happened, we really need to get this crappy alarm system fixed, well actually, I hope we don’t cause then I get to miss class more.  But if something really did happen, kids are less likely to think its real because of all these “drills.”
