"...You know, you might actually be crazy." says the leader, "Nonetheless, momma taught me manners. My name's Junior, Junior Beach. Be sure to be gone the second you see yellow school buses; I don't want to see you in my alleys ever again."

If I'd known what the assembly would be like, I probably would have just gone to the principal's office.

There had to be over 300 students packed into this single room, all pushing against each other to find a seat on the long row of benches; 90% of the benches had plenty of space behind them where anyone could get into your blind spot and the noise from all the other students would completely mask their presence. I couldn't believe that these people could just comfortably walk through such a dangerous room without any anxiety; I was completely terrified.

Scanning the room, I see no faces that I can recognize and there are too many for me to get a proper read on them. By the feeling of the room I can tell that very few of them want to be here, mostly they are lazily walking through without any motivation, which gives me an advantage though there is the possibility that this is some form of mirage. While scanning, I find it very difficult to find a single spot that offers me ease of escape, high visibility, and effective obsfuscation; luckily, there is a very promising spot near a window off to the side.
