HOW I SAVED MY SCHOOL FROM BEING HIJACKED PART-2

Save everyone huh? Man! It isn't so easy after all I said to myself, after contemplating. What can I do? What should I do? I questioned myself. Wait! What have I been wasting all my time for? I could just call the police. Nah! I don't have a mobile phone. But again, I don't need one. I can just use the school telephone in the reception.

Yeah, that's it then. I mean, it doesn't hurt the school if I use the telephone to save it, does it?

I gathered all my courage and started to walk towards the reception. I turned on my stealthy mode. If I keep walking without making any noise I might reach there soon, I said to myself.

"Hey, you!!" someone called me as I kept walking, I turned around to see a huge muscular guy. "How did you get here? Answer me! How did ya?!" he asked me. I was totally scared, I did not know what to say. "I-I j-just arrived, "I stuttered. SHIT! I messed up. What kind of a fool is gonna believe that I just reached school now?

"I don't care," he said, "Hands up kid, or I'll have to beat you down."I was scared, scared to death. What am I gonna do? Is this it? I couldn't be of any help, huh? STOP! I have to stay calm. I have to do something.

"Okay," I said and raised my hands. He ordered me to follow him. And I did. I don't know if I should call it my good luck or God's blessing, because he took me to the reception. After we entered the room he made me kneel down, I guess I expected too much.

The man took out a walkie talkie and said," Hello! Yeah, it's me, Paresh. No, he must be hiding somewhere. Look, if he somehow manages to call the police and I get to the jail... I'm gonna kill you!" Okay, now that was scary.

He turned around and looked at me. " Guess I'll have to be done with you now," he said. Wait, what?! He took out the gun he had and loaded it. Then he pointed it towards me! I had a bad feeling about this. Right when he was about to shoot me, the walkie talkie rang. "Huh? Look, I've got my own things to do. No, why don't you- Damn you! Okay, I'm coming," he replied. He looked at me once again, and then said," You really have a stroke of good luck, kid."

Then kept his gun back and then rushed out. Phew! That was close. I really need to thank god a lot once I get home, I thought. I looked around and noticed that the giant gorilla man had left me alone here. Alone in the reception. Alone with the telephone. Hmm

... And here I thought that the guy was huge trouble.

I stood up, and once again looked around. Yep! I'm all alone, I said to myself. I went to the table, reached for the telephone and then dialed 100.

I waited, no one received it. Then I dialed again, and this time, someone answered. " Hello? How may I help you?" He said. " Hello! I am a student at a school named The Chandbagh School. I need your help. Our- our school's been hijacked!" I replied as fast as I could. "Look, kid, I don't have time for prank calls. If it isn't true, I will come to your school, report it and then lock you up in the cells," he told me." No sir! I-it is not a prank! I am not joking here. I need your help!" I told him, and before I could say anything else I heard footsteps. I looked around and saw the giant gorilla man staring at me.

I gulped. Then I slowly cut the phone. " What are you doing?! Did you just make a call?! Did you?!" shouted the man. He came towards me, caught my neck and pulled me off the floor. I couldn't breathe, he was strangling me to death. But then I landed a kick on his chest. Then without thinking, I screamed and ran as fast as possible. But the man caught up to me. Then he blocked my way and punched me right in my face. I screamed that punch was really hard, as I was bleeding.

"Who did you call? Was it the police you called? Speak up, kid! Was it the police you called!" The man asked. "N-No I did not call anyone. I really did not. Actually, when I was about to, you entered!" I answered. " You think I'm a fool, don't you? I should have killed you back then," he replied. I tried to escape but he caught my hand and started to bend it hard. It was paining a lot, more than the gunshot. I cried, I begged him to stop it. And he did, but only after my hand was broken and I was bleeding really badly. I fell to the ground. Then I started to crawl, I was a prey running from a hunter.

Then I heard something ringing. It was the man's walkie talkie. That's when I remembered something, I forgot to give the school's address to the police!! Now I am doomed, I thought.

"I've got a problem here. A kid called the police. I don't know?! My fault? It's yours! If only you hadn't called me back then. Anyway, what's taking you so long for getting the money from the principal?! Of course we better run! Yeah, he's seen my face. Okay... I was gonna do that anyway..." replied the man.

Is he gonna kill me for real this time? I haven't even lived long enough. I could not even save anyone. I looked up, the man was ready with his gun. " Looks like I was wrong, kid. You don't have such nice luck. See you in hell," he told me. I closed my eyes. So, is this the end? I asked myself.

BANG!! I heard the gunshot. It was too loud. I fell to the ground. This time I did not feel any pain. Is this how you feel when you die? I could not even thank my friends and family for helping me to get till here. That's sad.

I could not feel my body. I only felt coldness. Am I really dead? I asked myself. Then how am I still talking to myself?

Then I felt someone trying to shake me. " Hello? Hey kid, You alright?" someone spoke. I opened my eyes and saw a man wearing a blue uniform and a cap. I tried to stand but couldn't. And looked at the man again, h-he was a police officer!

I was happy to see him. I was relieved. I looked at my side and saw the giant gorilla man lying dead there. I don't have nice luck, huh? Look who was saying. I took a long breath and then lied there.

Later when I woke up I was in a hospital. The police officer came inside as soon as I woke up. He said," Lucky you if it was someone else they would have died already. You got two shots, one behind your shoulder and another one in your ear. And your left hand's bone is pretty badly fractured too. But I hope the doctors will do something about that. And I hope you will get a reward for your bravery." Saying that he patted me in my head and went out. Reward huh? I have already got one, I am alive and that's enough.

After some minutes my family came in to meet me. they were crying in joy. And my mom made me promise to never do such dangerous things again in my life. But who knew that I would grow up to be a respected Sergeant Major of the Army.
