Part Two - Sarah

---

I had heard the alarm. Of course, it would have been too much to ask just to finish the lesson. Oh no. They couldn't wait until the end of math class.

Honestly.

But I guess I had better get to safety. As always, I had my phone in my pocket. In case of need. To call my parents. I was happy to say I was still alive. With all my family. True, I may not have been the nicest of people, but at least I made up for my mistakes.

As well as I could, anyway.

Sometimes I wondered. What was the point of living in a world when I had so many chances of not being able to reach my full potential? Take just one day. I could be run over by a car, shot, kidnapped...

And I wouldn't be able to see Lanya. 

As my sister - my twin sister - we were super close. We barely ever did anything without each other. Just not being in the same class made me feel hollow inside. If something - anything - happened to me, what would become of her? Lanya was more fragile than me, but she also had more determination. Maybe she would try to continue living life normally, going to my tomb once a year and putting flowers on quietly, slowly constructing a lone life. Without me. 

Maybe she could survive. Not me. If I ever lost her, I would be devastated, probably refusing to talk to anyone, living a secluded life with just my pictures of her for company. Oh, we had parents, of course. And a younger brother. A normal family. I knew they loved her - and they loved me, too. With all of that, they never quite understood the links that united us, deeper than anything they had ever experienced. We were closer than anyone else, always together and rarely separated in our daily lives. 

Of course, we had been in different classes before. We had understood, and even though it pained us, we had lived through it. After all, we had never been in an actually big school before. We had always been in small places, with small classes. Then we moved, and we learnt what it was like in normal places.

I had helped her with her flyers and her great ambition of ending school shootings. Some part of me thought it was all in vain. But deep down, I respected my sister, and I knew that if she was involved in a cause, it was worth it. So I believed in the OneVoiceManyChildren movement. 

Speaking of which...

"All students and staff are required to stay in their room at all times until further notice. Protect yourself as much as you can."
