The fluorescent lights of the classroom flicker as the PA crackles to life. The principal's voice, unnaturally high and shaky, cuts through the usual chatter: "Uh, this is not a drill, the school is now under lockdown. I repeat, this is not a drill."

Without thinking, you grab his hand, tugging him toward the crowded corner. His fingers tighten around yours. "What the hell are you doing?" he mutters, but he doesn't pull away. The room goes silent.
