>I almost trip over myself as I round the corner, aiming for the school's front doors. A veritable wall of saurians blocks my path. Stumbling backwards I push as hard as I can. Anywhere.
>I find my anywhere, an empty classroom. I can hide here for just a few moments, just long enough for them to clear from an exit then I take flight. I take a second to think about where I'll even go. Are they all like this?
>To my horror I hear the door have a pressure placed upon it. The quiet creaking makes me duck my head under the teacher's desk. I hold my breath.
>I count out my heartbeats as I listen intently. No noise is made. My vision begins to darken as I realize exactly how long I've been doing this, right after hyperventilating.
>I hazard the smallest breath I can muster. Still nothing.
>They must have left. I go ahead and move out of my hiding spot, ready to chance another go at a retreat.
>Yet several blank faces stare at me. Trish, Naomi, Reed, Fang all of them. Every single saurian I'd met up until this point just staring. Waiting.
>I flatten myself up against the whiteboard. They step forward. Slowly and full of intent.
>I prepare for a fight. I'm no athlete, god no but I'm not going to just let it happen. I crouch slightly and prepare.
>Fang breaks, snorting and laughing. Trish rolls her eyes and calls out.
>"Oh goddamnit, Fang." I dart my eyes wildly between the lot.
>She keeps laughing. Naomi and Naser sigh and shrug, making motions to leave.
>Suddenly I feel very, very embarrassed. And quite mad at Fang.
>I slide down the wall and plant my ass on the floor as Fang finally recovers from her giggle-fit, moving over to offer me a hand.
>I glance up to see Reed's come over as well, showing me his arm. It was goddamned paint that rubbed off on his scales when he bumped the door.
