i was in gym calss in school. we always have the radio playing when we do warm ups. My friend came over to me and said that she thought she herd two planes crashed. i dint think much of it. I know planes crash alot. THen in science my teacher told us about what really happened. i wasn't very compassionate and kind of put it off. THen next period in taskwe had the tv on. AS soon as i saw all that carnage it hit me. I immediatly started crying. i didnt even know anyone in newyork. It was so scary and i kind of thought something bad was going to happen that day. Right before lunch my parents came to pick me up. I was walking down the hall and saw my father standing outside the main office. I had never really like dmy dad that much but seeeing him stanidng there almost brought me to tears. i dont know why it just did. Then when i got into hte car i sat down. A few minutes later i tld my parents i loved them and started to cry. I havent told them i loved them in and very long time. when i got home i watched everything on tv. hten i went outside on my porch nad fell asleep on a lounge chaise. but before i fel asleep i, of course, scanned the skies for sigs of planes.
