I was going into my homeroom class when, I looked up and saw the t.v. on and it was on the news (not our school news either). It was talking about how one of the world trade center towers had got hit with a plane. At first I didn't even know what the twin towers were But, when I went to my first class which was english we sat there and we watched the news.Then our whole class watched as the second tower got hit by the second plane.
All of a sudden our principal came on the intercom saying that we had to turn off all the t.v.'s because we shouldn't be watching stuff like that. We were all getting scared. I remember my friend jill crying because her aunt was working in the World Trade center and she didn't know if she was ok.I was really scared because my aunt lives in New york around that area and, I didn't know how she was doing.
Another weird thing happened at school our power had gone out.Everybody in my class was really scared saying the terrorists were trying to come after us. All day at school parents were getting scared and picking up their kids at school. AT lunch it was like half the school was gone. The front office had set up a table and chairs for parents who wanted to pick up their kids.
