Survive the Storm

I must've waited for my alarm to wake me in my sleep but I slept in,
even if I was colder than I had ever been.
But when I did awake, I thought it was still night time because the
sky was still dark and green with wind and rain raging against each
other still flooding the streets and pushed over everything with
flying debris.
But as I looked at the clock on the wall it read, 9:00 Am.
It was still the same as yesterday I couldn't believe we would be still trapped.
I wanted my dad and my bed and to just get away and see the sun.
I needed a warm blanket and a good meal.
After a few minutes of adjusting again, I realized that we must've
fell asleep while talking, because Mrs. B sat on a blanket in the
water sleeping, her head and arm propped up against the bench.
The rest of us crowded on the table under sweatshirts sleeping.
Ms. Payton was on the window ledge sleeping and Mrs. Hans slept just a
foot from her.
Suddenly with a jerk, Ms. Payton awoke from her sleep, grabbing her
stomach ( which was getting big ) with her hand, " Oh my oh my god "
Her hand covered her mouth.
She grabbed Mrs. Hans sleeve pulling her awake, " Oh god what's
happening? " she freaked.
The commotion awoke everyone else.
" I had the worse nightmare! We were trapped and... And " Kendra
sighed " Nope it's real "
" Yep I was hoping it was a nightmare too " Chloe sighed with Jade.
Megan continued to sleep.
" Megan! " Hailey and Emma yelled.
Kia felt Megan's forehead " oh god she has a really high temp "
" That's def not a good sign " I moaned.
Now realizing Mrs. B wasn't awake I slightly taped her on the shoulder
" What? What's wrong?!?!? " She jumped awake startled and concerned.
" Amber! " Mrs. Hans shouted " Something's wrong " Mrs. B, as fast as
she could lifted herself up and ran over.
" Amy what's wrong? " Mrs. B tried to stay calm as she asked Ms. Payton.
Ms. Payton couldn't even speak the pain was too much for her .
" Breath kicks! Thats what it is! " Mrs. Hans jumped up.
" I had them with my kids, most first time pregnancy get these they
almost feel like labor but if u were in labor you'd be bleeding " Mrs.
Hans explained.
" Oh good I thought she was giving birth " Mrs. B looked relieved.
For the next hour we talked about a lot of stuff and planned some
stuff of our own, while the Mrs. Hans and Mrs. B helped Ms. Payton get
through the hard kicks.
Soon it was 10 and Ms. Payton was sleeping again, while the rest of us
sat awake.
Megan was yet still sleeping, we knew something was wrong and we
couldn't get her to wake up, the good news was she was breathing.
After a while watching the storm go on was enough for everyone and we
knew we had to get out.
In only a little less than an hour it would be a full 24 hours stuck
inside waiting for the storm to pass and the sun to shine.
If anyone even dared to go outside they'd either drown, get
hypothermia, or die from flying debris.
I was so hungry, none of us had eaten in over 24 hours now.
For about the 12th time I watched Mrs. Hans try to get bars on her
phone but like all the other times before, no bars.
My hands and feet were starting to turn purple.
So were everyone else's.
The baby finally gave Ms. Payton a break by 11, because she could
finally talk and she wasn't in pain anymore.
" That was awful " Ms. Payton groaned, wanting to sleep in a real bed.
" This situation can't be healthy for the babies " Mrs. Hans seemed concerned.
" I'm fine so far... " Mrs. B casually looked at her belly, I knew in
her eyes she was praying for the baby to keep being healthy.
" Hey Mrs. B? " Kia asked.
" Yes dear? " Mrs. B replied turning toward us.
" We can't wake Megan up " Kia cried shaking Megan.
My heart stopped again, and Mrs. B raced over followed by Ms. Payton
and Mrs. Hans.
" Megan honey u gotta wake up " Mrs. B gently shook Megan.
No use.
Mrs. Hans felt for a pulse, she blew out a sigh of relief.
" What? " Emma asked.
" She has a normal pulse " Mrs. Hans wiped her forehead.
" Thank god " Jane relieved.
" No kidding " Chloe replied.
" I guess god was watching us for a second there " Nikki looked up at ceiling.
" Yeah I guess he was " Kendra laughed.
" If he really is watching then why are we stuck here to die
eventually? " Hailey cried.
" Sometimes I wonder that too " We swung around to see Ms. Payton by us.
" Me too " Mrs. B can up behind Ms. Payton.
" Me 3 " Kia giggled.
" And me " Mrs. Hans laughed too.
" This pass day and today I've really wondered does god really watch
us? If he does why are we here? " I asked but knew it couldn't be
answered.

" That kitchen mocks me " Kendra stared at the tiny snack kitchen in
the commons with us.
It was locked through a tough door by the bathrooms.
" I know there must be tons of food in there I'm starving " Kia moaned.
" We all are it's noon we've been stuck here for over 24 hours " I complained.
" Ms. Payton ur positive u don't have a key? " Emma asked for the
thousandth time.
" Honey I'm positive " Ms. Payton hobbled over to us.
" Someone must have a key " Jade looked at all of us.
" Maybe Mrs. B or Mrs. Hans has one " Chloe suggested.
" Good idea! Mrs. Hans " Nikki called over to where Mrs. Hans was
siting by the window ledge watching Mrs. B attempt to sleep.
" What's up? " she asked.
" Do u have a key to that room? " Nikki pointed to the kitchen.
" No, sorry I was hoping Ms. Payton did " She looked at Ms. P.
" I don't " Ms. Payton shrugged.
" I assume Mrs. B doesn't either, this is only her 2nd year teaching "
Mrs. Hans nodded.
" Maybe we can break the door, or try to unlock it with something else
" Jade suggested.
" Good idea I've always wanted to try this " Emma ran over to the door.
" Paper clip, bobby pin stat! " She laughed.
Mrs. Hans pulled a paper clip off of her papers, " Here " she walked
over to Emma and handed it to her.
" And I think I have a bobby pin " Emma pulled a bobby pin out of her hair.
We watched her silently for about a minute before we heard a clink sound.
Emma shoved the door open.
" Oh my god u did it! " we all screamed, waking Mrs. B up and ran to
the kitchen, finally we could eat something.
