YES! I am posting!!!! Okay, so I have a very funny story to tell all of you. Well, I thought it was funny at first, that was until I was hit with the after math. Here goes my story. So today in gym class after doing our usual warm-up my class and a few students from other classes went upstairs to the weight room... like the place where you work out on tread mills, and you lift weights up there. So anyways, we were up there for gym and in the weight room there are two sets of doors that you can use to enter and exit the room. On one side there is a set of stairs that takes you down into the hallway then into the gym that leads you to the girls locker room. The other set of doors leads you straight to the gym that takes you to the locker room. I needed to get to the locker room so I could change and then go to lunch. I was very hungry today after working out so much in gym. =] So when the teacher released us, many student went out the door that takes you too the hallway. Actually, everybody went that way except for 6 girls. The much faster way is to go out the other way. Then you just go down those stairs and into the gym. Also with only 6 of us going that way would be much faster. So, my friend Whitney and I decided to go the short way. Also 2 other girls that were jrs. from our gym class followed us. And two other girls that i have never seen in my life went the faster way too. So the 6 of us walk down the stairs and in front of us is the door that leads to the gym. We pull on the doors and much to our dismay, the doors are locked. DARN! so much for the fast way. We then went back up the stairs to go back into the weight room to go down the other stairs and go into the gym. And again we are looking at the doors that lead to the weight room and we pull... and GUESS WHAT!!! LOCKED! YES! Both sets of doors were locked. there are no windows in the doors either. they are black solid doors. So all six of us were trapped in the hallway. So we pounded on the door that leads to the weight room, and nobody answered. By this time everyone was downstairs and going through the gym to go into the locker room. So we ran down the stairs and started pounding on the door and yelling help, help, we are locked in! and sadly, no body came to the rescue. So we sat there, waiting, and waiting, still pounding on the door. Nobody came. I wanted to go to lunch! I wanted to go home! How long would we be in there? Nobody knows where we are!!! AAH!!! Luckily, one of the creepy girls I have never seen before was a bad student. And she had brought her phone to gym class with her. WOO!!!! A PHONE!! Perhaps we could tell someone we were in there and they could free us! but who to call?? I don't have many numbers memorised because I can just look for them in my contacts in my phone. So what to do? nobody knew who to call... THE SCHOOL! YES! We could call the school and they could send someone to free us!! At this time we still thought it was pretty funny, but we began to worry that we would be locked in the hallway for a very long time. AND we were in our ugly grey gym shirts and shorts. AND IT WAS SNOWING! And there was not any heat in that hallway, and if there was it was not on, and we did not fell warm. So anyway, we thought we would call the school, but would anyone know the schools number by heart? And again, LUCKILY, I was with another slacker girl that called the school often to call herself in because she wouldn't be at school that day. HA HA! So, she called the school and very nicely said, hello, I am Erin and we are trapped in a hallway near the Auxiliary gym. Could you please send somebody down to let us out? The lady on the other end simply said okay, and hung up. I don't think she believed us! But think about, would you believe a girl on the phone telling you that a bunch of girls are locked in a hallway and they need someone to let them out? I think she thought we were prank calling her. So we waited about 5 minutes, still banging on the door and yelling. Evidently nobody could hear us. And if they did, I guess they didn't care. So after the 5 or so minutes had past we called again. At this time the bell had rung and we were locked up during our lunch period. So a different girl called the second time and she said, "okay, seriously, there are 6 girls here and we are locked in a hallway. We need someone to come and let us out so that we can change and eat lunch." This time the lady believed us, and she called down an aide and so we waited. We waited another probably 8 minutes. So we were locked in there a very long time, probably almost 25 minutes. That is a long time to be locked in a hallway in your school. So FINALLY! the aide showed up. She was not happy. She opened the door and very rudely asked us what we were doing in there!! OBVIOUSLY WE were TRAPPED! and we were waiting for her to come let us out. Then she asked who our teacher was and we were all from different classes so we didn't name anyone and we were really just trying to get to lunch. So me and my friend ran to the locker room, and the other girls walked there too. Then I changed as fast as i could. And somehow that crazy mean hall aid was down there asking us for our names. The other slacker girls teased her and gave her crazy names, but then she asked to see all of our IDs so that she could give us referrals. =( I don't get referrals. I have never gotten one in my life. And to get one for accidentally getting locked into a hallway? WHAT!?!?! It isn't my fault my stupid school has doors that lock you into the hallway. SHEESH! I was very very sad. For those of you that may not know, I am a perfect student. I never get in trouble! I have NEVER gotten a referral EVER!!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!!!! UHHH!!!! So, tomorrow me and the other 5 girls are having some sort meeting with the principal. I can't believe it though. My day was going rather well, and i really don't think that I should get in trouble. I made a mistake. How was I suppose to know that the door was going to be locked? It is always unlocked every other time! Also, how was i suppose to know that the other door would lock behind us? I didn't know. I have only been up to that room a few times and I was unaware. So yea, that is my story. I thought it was worth sharing. And I haven't posted anything in a really really long time. I am going to try to blog more. Please comment!! And tell me what you think of my story. =] thanks for reading! I LOVE YOU ALL! =]
