I’ll never forget it. We were sitting in the classroom on Friday afternoon. We were having a History lesson. I remember I clearly. Miss Harber was telling us about Christopher Columbus. Suddenly two men burst into the room. They were wearing masks and carrying heavy guns.
“Don’t move!” they shouted.
“We are taking over the school!”
Some of us screamed. Miss Harber was very brave. She ran between the men and us, spread out her arms, and shouted, “Don’t you dare touch them!” one of the men grabbed her and threw her to the floor.
“Shut up! This is a political action. Keep quite and nobody gets hurt!”
I turned afraid. My glasses fell of my freckled nose when I twisted my head to get a better view at the men. I tried extra hard to give them an impression of not being anxious or frightened. They were both very strange to me. However, I recognized their weapons from Counter Strike. Miss Harber was crawling on the floor. It was not in her nature that she would be bullied.
“Every day, more than 80 Americans die from gun violence!” She cried.
“And you are not going to hurt anybody in this ragged classroom or in this old school.”
