Snippet #1690022

CJ pushed throught the crowds on boys, all headed for the same floor, frantically picking a room. It was strange how so many students were actually following directions from a person their own age, with no more power then them. He was suprised that some teenaged boy didn't stand up and challenge Cody's power. Teenagers didn't like to be told what to do by anyone, but it was probably because everyone was so scared of what was going to happen.

CJ wanted to find his brother, Landon, but had no luck with this huge crowd. He took out his phone earlier and had texted him, but Landon still hadn't answered. He knew fully well that Landon wasn't in this crowd, however. Landon wasn't a person to follow. He liked to do his own thing, even if the other choice was far better. Landon was probably on the roof right now and climbing down the walls to find their family. It made him chuckle a bit, but it was also a serious thought, to be honest.

Landon was pulled away by a hand and into a seperate room. Before he could assess what was happening, he had already been dragged into the room and into a chair. He turned to see it was Demi and Eli. He had barely talked to either of them before, but they had classes together. "Girls, I need to go," he said. They held out a bottle of alcohol to him, but he rejected it. "I need to figure out what's going on. We can't just sit here and do nothing until they free us, if they free us. I mean, I think all the adults are probably dead now." He shook his head and stood up. "I'm going down to the cafeteria and finding some food, and you two can come if you want," he lamely offered. He just wanted to figure out what was happening, and everyone here seemed to just think this was a joke and they were having a lock in or something.
