Nick was in math class when he heard the announcement over the intercom about the lockdown. Like instructed, his teacher kept on teaching. Nick was the opposite of most of the other Jocks. He did exceedingly well in school, and was a member of the National Honors Society. He had a hard time paying attention today for whatever reason, mainly because of the lockdown. No info was given, about what happened, but texts were vibrating his leg every 3 seconds. He resisted the urge to check them until it felt like his leg was going to fall off.
22 new messages...great. He kept the phone concealed under his desk as he started checking them one by one.
"Nick, did u hear what happened 2 Kent?" "OMG NICK, u heard abot Kent, right?"
There were 20 other messages the exact same. He started texting back one by one.
"No, what happened?!"
The first one came back almost immediately.
"He stabbed himself bcuz Tabitha rejected him. Hes dead!"
...And they kept coming. He never really liked Kent. Kent was always a jerk to people that weren't popular, but he didn't hate him either. His hands started to shake, and a chill ran up his spine. Then the announcement came over the intercom about classes being cancelled for the day. He was sort of in a daze, and didn't really know what to do. He grabbed his things from his locker, and started walking towards the parking lot where his crappy Jeep was parked. He had a sick feeling in his stomach, but hadn't eaten all day. He decided to drive to the local Subway and get something to eat.

He had difficulty eating, and just stared at most of his food. He decided it might be a good time to try and get some info on what had happened to Kent. He decided to text Tabitha, if anyone knew the real story, it would be her.
"Hey Tabitha, want to talk about what happened?"
He and Tabitha were fairly good friends. They had known each other for awhile, and had hung out a few times. Nick's girlfriend didn't really approve of him talking to her, she always thought there was something else going on when in fact there wasn't.
He thought about what his Girlfriend would say about him texting her. Oh well, she'll get over it. It's not like anything would happen between us, anyway. He sat at the table nibbling on his sandwich, waiting for a reply.
