~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ryleigh stood. This couldn’t be
happening. With only a few months left until graduation, she didn’t want to be
forced to drop out, but what else could she do? “Look, Mr. Jacobs, can’t you
just—” Vertigo assailed her. The room rocked, and she grabbed the desk.
Mr. Jacobs grabbed the back of his
chair. His eyes mirrored her panic. Books flew from the shelves. Glass
shattered.
She had to get to Mia.
She turned to run. The building
bucked, and she toppled, slamming her knee into the hard wood floor. Pain shot
up her leg. She grabbed the chair to pull herself up, but the next wave threw
her back down. She tried to regain her footing, but someone yanked her to the
ground.
“Stay down.” Mr. Jacobs shoved her forward. He crawled
beside her, half pushing, half dragging her toward the door.
Debris pelted her back, shoulders,
and head. How could she have left Mia? Tears blurred her vision.
“If it’s an earthquake, it should
stop any minute. Just keep crawling toward the door.”
Desperately wishing she could cover
her ears to block the screaming, she clawed forward. Her knee dragged behind
her, pain pulsing with each movement. Falling apart wouldn’t help matters. She
had to get to Mia.
Ryleigh crawled through the doorway,
into utter chaos. People trying to push through the mess, others huddled in
corners shielding their heads. An injured woman cried as she rocked back and
forth clutching her arm. A man crouched over her.
Fear and disorientation held Ryleigh
immobile.
