Bomb Threat

Yesterday Crescent Valley was thoroughly threatened by a bomb threat. In the middle of B block the bomb threat was phoned to our school's office, the phone call taken by a parent volunteer. It took a half hour for the news to reach the whole school. The bomb was said to go off by the anonymous caller, by 11:10 am. One hour. Our teacher didn't know what was going on, Lacey assumed noxious gas, maybe radiation. Cielle thought it may have been something or someone dying in the school. But rumors quickly grew, and we were all pretty sure it was a bomb threat. After a while of being told by many people, it was indeed, a bomb threat, some people dicided to call and get rides home, what was the point of staying? The day became a field day, we played Red Rover and a large number of kids joined in and spontaneously left. That continued until the whole 6 people compared to the perhaps 20 came over and tried to break through. It became a scattered mess, that didn't reform. Kailey and us went to find a cell phone to see if we could get a ride home (Cielle was told to leave her things in the building, lucky for her she had her iPod with her). We became sidetracked by the camera of the local KEZI9 news crew. We waved and jumped from our little spot on the track, about to start the hokey pokey with some other joiners. Cielle played the Unicorns out loud from her iPod and no one knew how to dance to it. Then a new kid who has a real obsession for holding doors open for people half way across the room comes over to play Disturbed from his iPod. We screamed and ran away. At that point, a kid named Rick who is in Cielle's French class came up to us and told Cielle:
"You know Cielle, you're really fucking cute,"
"When I sober up, I'm gonna ask you out."
Abrubt.
After all this fun we had to go back to school for an elongated lunch and the last class of the day. Ah come on!
Half or more than half of the school had left. So in Lacey's math class they watched O Brother Where Art Thou? and in Cielle's they had a test.
Today was really pleasant, the weather (Oregon Springs are great), the food, and the music was okay. We had to get used to the vocalist and the fact that they didn't quite synchronize their instruments. They were good for a high school band.

Enjoy your weekend!
