So, I'm once again bring back a story from the dead, besides Autumn Falls. Although, I had accidentally deleted this, then kicked myself because I couldn't find the story on my computer. Anyways, hope you enjoy.

--------------

No one could believe that it happened. No one could that it would happen in their small town.

But, somehow, they knew it would happen. They knew that their was a ticking time bomb inside the school, but they didn't do anything.

The daily newspapers and those around the world announced out their mistake- their sin, as it was now called.

Two Teen Boys Causes Massacres Inside School'

'Over 17 Students and Teachers Killed and 21 Injured in School Massacre'

A lot of parents liked to pretend that one of the boys wasn't trouble; the other, they admitted was simply tricked. A simple-minded, shy, quiet boy who was picked on. He was tricked into thinking what he was doing was the right thing.

This, however, didn't save him from his sentence in court. But because so many people stood on his behave; he really didn't know what would happen, he received a life sentence.

He should die, just like his partner, some angry parents would spit out

Everyone had to said that they had to see this coming. There were the warning signs.

But the people of the small town chose to ignore it; the troublemaker was a senior, they only had to wait just 4 more months and he was going to be out of their hair. The school wouldn't have to deal with him anymore and he would leave the town, just like most high school graduates did.

Most people couldn't wait for the day he left . He did nothing but cause trouble and set bad examples for the younger children. He had a police record a mile long and everyone wondered just where the hell was his parent during all of this.

If anything, no one could explain where things had started. There were none of those casebook examples.

He didn't come from a broken home. His parents were together. He didn't listen to heavy metal music or rap. No kind of excuse where they could put the blame on.

For the students that where injured, the parents wanted some kind of therapy for them, but instead of the shrinks, the students found comfort in each other. In fact two survivors were married to each other just two month after the tragedy.

For the teacher at the high school, it was a hard time go back inside where many of their colleagues had been shot down. A couple teacher had refused to go to the school. But there were some teacher who wouldn't let the incident stop the job that they loved.

There were many seminars the next school year. On how to be prepared and what to do if they saw anyone say or do something suspicious.

The school was redone. It now had what was called the 'lockdown mode'. In case there was another shooting, a button could be pushed and all doors would automatically close and lock. The lights would go out, a siren would sound and the police would be contacted.

It cost the town a lot of money; but it was worth it. They knew they children would be safe going to school.

The survivors had a hard time coping in the aftermath. Many suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Some, though, would hide the either mental or physically scars that they had.

The event also shined a light on the school. Most parents liked to think that their school was different from the rest in the state. But they found it was the same. It had the jocks, the nerds, the punks, and the cheerleaders.

This is the following stories of 12 survivors, told by those, including the shooters, who witnesses it.
