"Right , Melissa ,this is the fifth time I've told you.Keep your stories till playtime!"shouted Mrs.Johnson.It really was a typical Year 1 classroom:boys fighting about toy cars,girls fiddling with China Dolls and the teacher,well,just looking over everybody.The teacher slumped on her chair,sighing.Her son,who had epilepsy, had been sent to hospital the previous night due to the attack he had gone through.Numerous times she nearly called her husband to go and comfort her child,like a normal mother ,but what stopped her?Work!To forget about all the memories and depressing thoughts,she grabbed her phone and decided to go on 'The News' app.While the app loaded,she looked over the large-screened computer to check on the children just to find Damien fighting with Julie. "Damien..."she sighed,"Just let it go."she continued gently.With a smug look on his rounded face,Damien let the red crayon go and folded his arms.Letting out a huge sigh,she resumed back to her phone.

After seeing this shocking report,she gasped.Frozen.Silent.The closest school near the asylum in West London is the one I am currently in , she thought.She looked immensely worried due to the amount of sweat balls rolling down her pale face,settling in her  foundation.Her bottom lip wobbled in fear,yet she still tried to hide the fear in front of the small children."Everything is fine."she whispered to herself ,trying to  smile,  unsuccessfully.Suprisingly,everyone had settled in their seats,playing quietly.Only for a millisecond,the fear had been snatched away.Then it returned.

"ATTENTION ALL TEACHERS!THIS IS THE HEADMASTER SPEAKING!IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY HEARD THE NEWS OF THE PSYCHO ON THE LOOSE,THEN QUICKLY CHECK YOUR E-MAILS.YOU MUST LOCK ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS UNTIL WE ARE COMPLETELY SURE WE ARE SAFE!THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.THE POLICE WILL FIND THE KILLER BUT UNTIL THEN , LISTEN TO YOUR COMMANDS!YOURS SINCERELY, HEAD TEACHER!"

The first scream came from Melissa.The second from Julie.Then Damien,who began the choir of screams.Mrs.Johnson first started to bite her top lip,then started to speak,"Ummm...Just,J-j-just stop.It'll be fi-",she nervously laughed.How did she know everything was going to be fine?Going to be all right? That nothing was going to happen?How?

It went pitch black.All the lights,off.She heard a gunshot maybe not far from the playground.The speaker-phone shouted"NOBODY GO OUTSIDE THE ROOMS!"Just after this was said,the lights switched back on.All in unison.Even the squeals stopped."Nobody speak."she whispered,quivering in her seat."Miss!Miss ,please I'm desperate.I really need to go to the toilet.Please."Julie said in a muted tone.Hesitantly,the teacher shook her head."Sorry,"she let out a sharp sigh,"Sweetheart,you're a brave girl and you can keep it in.There's no need to act weak."She told her.Julie stared at her,still tugging at her leopard-printed skirt."Miss,please.I am not joking!Please."Just as her eyes began to water,a voice came from the speaker-phone.

"YO,ALL THE TEACHERS,IT IS ALRIGHT TO COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF.BE FREE!AND,ERR,EXCUSE MY TONE .JUST HAD SOME CIDER!"

"What?That sounds unlike the headteacher."The teacher looked unsure,grabbing her phone."Well,actually,"she stared at Julie ,noticing tears streaming down her face,"Go on then.Honey,I'm sorry.Go on ,but still,be safe."she conceded.Just before Julie opened the door,Mrs.Johnson gestured her to come back in.An idea hovered in her head."Look,I'm going to be 100% honest and say that I do not feel safe.We still need to keep safe.I mean why would the Head teacher drink cider  while a killer is on the loose?We should have ,like a secret code or something only we know.Maybe like a magical fairy code,Julie?What do you think?Hmm."She let out a small friendly laugh,just to make Julie happy.It did work because Julie smiled, weakly.Damien shot his hand up instantaneously."Yes,Damien?"she whispered.

"We could do something like knock, clap,knock,click?"Damien suggested.The teacher cleverly replied,"Well,not a lot of children can to do that.Even I probably can't do it."Damien frowned.But that just made another student raise her hand,"I know,maybe when Julie is coming back,she can do...something on the door!Like,Tap.tap,knock,knock?"Melissa asked.Now this made the teacher think."Well done ,Melissa!The secret code will be...Tap,Tap,Scratch!Yes,just do that on the door.Julie,we'll be able to hear  it easily."Julie smiled,because she was sure she was safe.Or so she thought...

Tucking her hair behind her ear,Julie proceeded and walked silently towards the door.With a 'click!'of the door knob,she disappeared into the light.As soon as she walked in the corridor,a static click was heard.Which was then followed by all the lights .Off.The small whimper of a child could be heard.Then light footsteps.The teacher walked towards the door,worried.5 minutes passed.10 minuted passed.15 minutes passed.30 minutes pa-"Nope,something's gone wrong. I knew he was here!"she said,trying to whisper but very loudly.'Tap,Tap,Scratch.' 

"That is a relief,"sighed the teacher,wiping sweat of her forehead.Just before opening the door,she heard Damien squeal,"Miss,I mean Mrs.Johnson,I don't think it is her."The teacher stared at him."Yeah,I think it's not her,it doesn't sound like her."said another child,smartly.The teacher just laughed,as if everything was normal.'CLICK!' There stood a tall ,broad-shouldered man,staring straight down at the helpless teacher.In his right hand were 2 grenades and tied to his belt was a huge rifle gun.But his left hand made the teacher scream.A head.With long,blonde,curly hair.And pink-diamond butterfly earrings in each ear.*It was Julie*.He grabbed one of his grenades and threw it behind him,into the corridor.BAM!Then he got his rifle gun,shooting Damien under his chin,the bullet shooting out and going straight into Melissa's head.He killed all the 156 pupils in the building.Brutally murdering each child,one by one.During all this commotion, the teacher managed to climb out one of the square windows.

She now lays in a mental asylum and repeats over and over again,"Tap,Tap,Scratch.Tap,Tap,Scratch.Tap,Tap,Scratch.Tap,Tap,Scratch."


*The killer was hiding in the toilet next to Julie and when she entered the cubicle ,he jumped out of the door and kicked open the door of her cubicle and said"Tell me the code or you'll die."She told him but he still killed her.Her decapitated body still lays there,in Cubicle Number 3.*
