*RING* 6:30-Oh no, school! How horrible. I must get to school early today because it’s the fifth day of school and school’s beginning earlier. I have two freshmen waiting for me outside to go to school. --- Well here I am waiting for my freshman friends, me being the dependable sophomore! My friend is late again but here we are at school.

It’s 8:20 and I’m in 1st period in English class. Seven students are late and the teacher is very mad. *Beep* (PA) “We had a situation with the bus so please excuse the students’ lateness.” Oh well, probably traffic.

It’s 9:00 and in my 2nd period global class. Everything’s normal, then…(9:35) *Beep* (PA) “We have just heard that two planes crashed into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. If you are worried about your parents we have phones in room 120 in case you need to call. The cell phones do not work right now. But we are safe; no one in this school is to be harmed. But for further safety no one is allowed to leave the building until further notice. Do not worry.” The room is quite, for about one second, now everyone started talking and laughing all at once. People are saying that the pilot must be extremely stupid as to hit the Twin Towers. Now some people, like my friend, got worried about their parents. Everything is too unreal to think anything at the moment.

It’s 9:40 and in my 3rd period visual basic class. I’m beginning to worry about my parents. I’m wondering where Wall Street is located, is it near the towers, or far? I have no idea. Since I’m in a computer room I’ll try going on news web sites to see what happened. The web sites are all busy. But finally I got through the New York Times, but all I see is that the Twin Towers fell and George W. Bush said something about this situation being an act of terrorism. Oh my god!! We are being terrorized??? Is this World War III???

I see my friend waiting for me outside my classroom, everyone’s talking about the Towers now. I’m starting to get very worried about America. We go to our homeroom and listen to the radio. Everyone’s worried about their parents but their cell phones don’t work so there’s no contact. My friend starts talking about bombs and terrorists and World War III. Now on the radio I hear about the Pentagon being crashed by another plane. Then a bomb in a car parked near the White House. But no one was harmed by the bomb because the White House was already evacuated …HAHA…they’re worried about George W. Bush. There was also a bomb in a small building in Pennsylvania. Now I’m really worried about my parents…. WHERE IS WALL STREET???????

My friend’s dad works in the Empire State building and she’s really worried. She’s crying now. Since the cell phones don’t work we must go to the guidance office for the phone. We enter the room and all I can see are people crying. Teachers are worried about their children and husbands and wives. The students are crying about their parents, siblings, aunts, and uncles. Watching these people cry makes me want to cry too, but I know that my friends need me right now and I will be strong for them.

It’s 10:58 and I’m in the lunchroom. I’m worried but my other friend seems happy so she lifted my spirits. If I stay optimistic, others well benefit from it too.

It’s 11:40; I’m suppose to be in technical drawing but I told the teacher that I need to call my parents and so the teacher let me off. Now I’m in the hallway with my other friend who dragged me to call her parents. All she’s talking about are her parents. I understand that she is worried, but her parents are no where near the Towers. She’s worried about her brother too, who goes to a school in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is really big so she doesn’t have to worry. She didn’t even ask about my parents, I’ve been worrying for everyone else and they always cared back but she didn’t say anything. I am strong and I don’t care anymore.

My friend called her parents and got through that everyone’s O.K. except her aunt is in Manhattan somewhere. So she started crying, I tried comforting her but she ignored my comforts. I called my parents but no answer, I tried five times but no reply, I figured that they were evacuated but I have no idea where they are and there is no way to locate them. My friend said she was hungry so I went with her to the cafeteria. I saw another friend there and stopped to ask if she was O.K. Then I turned around and find that my “friend” left me there. I couldn’t find her for the day, I couldn’t care less.

My other friend seemed pretty calm so I felt O.K. Then she told me about the delay this morning. It was because a freshman got hit by a truck.

Then I heard another person say that a girl named Antika lost both her parents in the crash. I was scared, I needn’t say more.

I was so worried and scared out of my mind but I kept my emotions down. A friend of mine was crying like crazy because her dad worked in the second tower on the lower floor. I don't blame her for crying, I don’t think I could even hold that in. I’m really quite because I’m really worried about my parents. The cell phones work now. I tried calling with my friend’s cell but nobody answered. Today is the anniversary of Camp David
