911DA Story: Story

I was in my spanish 3 class for about fifteen minutes and a kid who travels between schools to get different courses come into ours and says "The World Trade Center has been bombed!" Everybody in the classroom is getting real antsy now and we ask to see whats on the TV. My spanish teacher ignores us and leaves the room to call her husband, because evidentally he is a pilot. So when the teacher leaves we're all going crazy with questions. "Who did it, are we at war, who would go to war with us?" So after what seemed like forever our teacher comes back and we finish up our class work REAL fast and turn on the TV to see a nerving and depressing sight. Our eyes wide and mouths opened we watched in silence.
