“Birdie,” I whisper. “Birdie, I need coffee! It’s your turn to go get coffee!”
I sit up and see that Birdie’s bed is empty.
“Where the hell is she?” I ask myself.
I somehow manage to climb out of bed and stand up without falling over or throwing up.
I shuffle to the door and open it.
That’s when I see Maz and Birdie pacing.
“What’s going on?” I ask.
“Just go back to sleep, Jaci,” Maz says.
“Why? What’s happening?”
“Did you check your phone?” Birdie asks.
“No,” I say.
“Go check it,” she says.
I rush back to the bedroom and when I look at my phone I let out a yell.
I walk out of the bedroom, my jaw dropped.
“This is real?” I ask.
“Yeah,” Maz says.
“Has this happened before?” I ask.
“I’ve never been through this,” Birdie says. “We’re trapped in here.”
“We’re not trapped,” Maz says. “We’re just… being safe.”
“From a bomb?” I call out. “How do we know the bomb isn’t in here?”
“Stop saying that word,” Birdie says. “I can’t stand it.”
I look at my phone again.
There’s a bomb threat atDSC.
Everyone is to stay in their rooms.
We’re quarantined until the entire campus is searched.
Which is going to take… a long time.
“What if we’re stuck like this for days?” Birdie asks. “I’m hungry. I need food.”
“We have food here,” Maz says. “Don’t start panicking over this. You know it’s all bullshit. There’s no bomb here.”
“Wait a second,” I say. “We’re all a bunch of mafia families mixed together. Isn’t it… I don’t know… aren’t we easy targets?”
“It doesn’t work that way, Jaci,” Maz says. “Believe me. If someone gets killed, it starts a war. And a bomb? A bomb can kill anyone. This is fake.”
