Monday

As soon as I walked into RHA this morning, I knew something was up. Anna wasn't behind the desk. Joy and Tiffany (roommate) were with me, but I was scared. There was nobody in sight, and it was deathly silent. "Hello?" Tiffi leaped up to the desk. "Anna? What kind of trick is this?!" No reply came. So us three just headed up to our room. The door was locked! I dropped my suitcase next to the door. Joy and Tiffi followed suit.
We headed down to the head-mistress's office, and knocked on the door. The head-mistress, Ms. Amelia Jordan opened the door slowly. When she saw it was us, she grabbed us, and pulled us down the hall to the  cafeteria! She unlocked the doors, and pushed us inside. "That hurt!" Tiffany complained. "Yeah, Ms. Jordan, be gentle!" Natalie spoke up. Natalie is the representative of sorts of the students. She seemingly thinks our thoughts, and isn't afraid to speak up.
Ms. Jordan frowned as she locked the door. "Finally everyone is here!" She sighed, and immediately hurried to the other end of the cafeteria. "It's a lockdown!" Natalie whispered. "We're all so scared here!" The students nodded. I sat down next to Natalie and scooted up close. She put her arm around my shoulders. She has the position of "Very Close Friend" (Hint: Jubilee has "Best Friend" and Julie has the honorable position of "First Friend")
"I guess some criminals escaped from jail, and are headed this way!" Natalie told me, her big sapphire eyes wider than usual. Julie crept up too, and I squeezed her hand. "Well, what a way to start school!" Julie giggled. Jubilee soon joined us, along with Kate (who has "Good Friend").
"I just talked to teacher!" Kate said.
"What did she say?" I asked.
"She said there's no school today!"
"That's soooo cool!" Natalie clapped her hands together.
"Yeah."
"So we're stuck inside the cafeteria all day?" Julie asked.
"Until the lockdown is over."
"So what can we do all day?" Jubilee asked unhappily.


Natalie looked around sneakily, and drew out a large messenger bag. I took out mine as well. Out of Natalie's bag came a shiny white Apple® laptop. Out of mine came paper, pencils, dolls, and my camera! "Well if it comes to that..." Julie whipped out her A.G. activity book and crocheting kit. "Groovy!" I said. So, Monday turned out to be a FANTASTIC day. The lockdown ended at 5:30. But up to then, we were playing InnerstarU games online, sketching, playing dolls, snapping photos, and trying games from Julie's book.
Once the doors were all unlocked we finally got to unpack and chill-for like 10 minutes, cause it was dinnertime already.
After dinner, Tiffany, Joy, Natalie, Julie and I gathered in my dorm room to email our moms on Natalie's laptop (okay, we gathered mainly to tell ghost stories! :D).
So here we are! I'm chilling out on our bed with Natalie's laptop to give you my little entry. And guess what? Mama already emailed me back! Here's her message:

Dear Ivy and Joy,
What an exciting experience! Guess what? Ms. Jordan and Ms. Glendale have given their permission for you two to be home tomorrow, and Wednesday morning. Love you, and see you tomorrow.
Mama


So yeah! Guess what's tomorrow?
