Excerpt
Copyright 2024, Tricia T. LaRochelle
“Can we have our snacks now, Mrs. Williams?” Trina, my petite student with short, blond hair asked with a hopeful spark in her greenish-blue eyes.
“Sure.” I stood. “Go ahead and grab your snacks and sit at your desks for snack time. But wash your hands first. Knowing the drill, my students made their way to the bathroom to scrub up. Thankfully, they never seemed to mind.
“I’ll continue reading our first Magic Tree House book, Dinosaurs Before Dark.” I made my way to the story corner where a cushy carpet covered the floor, and a small bookcase displayed our class selections. With book in hand, I dragged a stool to the front of the room. “Do you all remember where we left off?” This was always a good way to see how much they had retained from a previous reading.
But before anyone could answer me, my walkie-talkie crackled to life on my desk. I lifted my index finger. “Hold that thought. I'll be right back.”
Oblivious, the students opened their respective snacks and drinks, chatting with each other about the dodgeball game while I grabbed my walkie-talkie. Giselle hovered near the students in case anyone needed help opening a chip bag or a juice box.
I lifted the walkie-talkie close to my ear and heard what sounded like Principal Robbins say, “Lockdown. This is not a drill. Code 3. Shelter in Place. Follow protocol.” My heart leapt into my throat. Code 3 meant there was a possible threat on campus!
Holy crap!
From within my desk, my cell phone, which remained on vibrate, blew up a moment later. I pulled open the drawer and scanned the warning texts from the school as well. Another protocol. There was no chance I’d misunderstood, though I’d held onto that hope for a brief moment.
Trying to ignore my racing heart, I grabbed my lockdown binder and flung it open to the procedural page. “Giselle, can you read to the students for me?” I rushed over and handed her the book, trying to stay calm.
“What’s going on?” she mumbled, one of her hands half-covering her mouth.
“Lockdown, Code 3. We need to shelter in place.”
