I was 13 and a freshman in High School the day it happened. My friend Katie and I had just got out of gym and were trying to hurry up and get dressed for our 4'th hr. We were late as usual and trying to hurry to class. We went by the locker room office and saw on the TV that some planes had hit the Twin Towers. I just figured it was something that had already happened and that it was just a documentary not knowing that it was happening right now. I asked one of the girls in the room what they were watching and they told me that someone had hijacked two planes and crashed them into the twin towers. They told me that they were American planes. My first thought was "Oh my god Angie." See my cousin Angie is a sturdiest for Spirit Airlines and I was so scared that she had been on one of the planes. As we left all throughout the commons the TVs were turned onto the news. In every classroom we did nothing but listen to the news. I was in 5th hr when I heard about the Pentagon and the other plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. The whole day was just like a bad dream. It just didn't seem real. I still can't believe that it actually happened. It was the most unforgettable day ever!!!!!!!
