On September 13, I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start, so I got to sleep in. Not only did I get my full eight hours of sleep, but an additional two more hours as well. I got ready, danced in my room to my favourite music while I picked out my clothes, made my lunch, and was on my way to school. I arrived at 9:50 a.m. Little did I know, in the next 20 minutes, my life would change forever. As I got out of my classroom, there he was, holding the gun.
Although everything happened so fast, in a matter of about 4 minutes, I remember it clearly. I remember every face I saw, and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown. And lastly, I remember running—running for my life. I ran down the stairs, out of the school's front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down, I thought to myself, "How am I running so fast?"
I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown (禁闭). We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4 students were injured.
The lockdown lasted for about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever. Our headmaster made his way to our room and explained that the shooter had been caught and we were all going to make our way to the football field.
