hello

so there was a small fire at school yesterday. this is how the story goes.

evelyn looked up at the clock. "3.32pm" it read. she sighed. there was one more hour of maths remedial and she was tired of expanding and simplifying algebraic equations. all of a sudden, an annoucement was made. "all staff and students, please evacuate the school now. i repeat, all staff and students, please evacuate the school now." her maths teacher stood in front of the whiteboard, calculating in her mind if this was real. the annoucement came on again. "all staff and students, please evacuate the school now. i repeat, all staff and students please evacuate the school NOW." suddenly, her teacher shouted , "everyone, faster, go! now!"

chairs squeaked while being pushed and everyone hurriedly packed their things. "i don't wanna die! i don't wanna die!" some boys shouted. evelyn grabbed all her things and decided that she would pack later, after she left the school building.

with her thick black file and pencil case in her hand, she left the classroom, brisk walking to the nearest staircase. every other student she could see was doing exactly the same thing. as she walked down with her bag unzipped, she heard people commenting on what could or would happen.

when she reached the first floor, all she could see was smoke. lots and lots of smoke. she used a free hand to cover her nose and mouth and followed the crowd to the foyer. as they walked past the IT lab behind the general office, she saw a worker and two other people around the opened door of the lab. what was happening? was someone murdered? she mustered all her courage and peeked into the dark lab. instead of a dead body, all she could she was smoke. lots and lots of it. she hurried and stood with the crowd in front of the foyer, waiting for instructions. after standing in a shady spot under a tree with her friends, she heard a siren and turned to face the main gate. a motorcycle with something that looked like an oxygen tank on the back zoomed into the school. this humoured evelyn. a fire and only a motorcycle comes? where is the fire truck? or anything?

after a few minutes, another same motorcycle came in and everyone started clapping. then the fire truck came in and everyone clapped even louder. a man signaled everyone to gather under the indoor sports hall. while walking there, she saw a teacher talking to some students. she and her friend approached them and asked what happened. the teacher explain and said that the fire started with the aircon in the lab. and since the staff room was above the IT lab, everyone had to evacute in case the fire spreads.

after a few minutes of discussing what could possibly happen next, the teachers started informing everyone that the school will be closed. all students were to leave the school immediately. evelyn let out a small whoop, as there was no more remedial, and walked to the lrt station.

after that, she met her friends who were at the nearby library. they were designing a big card that was to be given to someone whose's birthday was tomorrow. she signed her name in.

and that was all that was interesting yesterday. i really like writing in third person. maybe i shall do it again sometime.

bye!

p.s. happy birthday yihao!
