"Jake, what the hell are you doing?"
I asked.
"You know we're not supposed to move during a lockdown."
"I was in the bathroom when they made the announcement," he said.
"So I came in here to wait it out."
He looked at me and smiled slightly.
"I figured it was safer in here than being out in the hallway."
I nodded and swallowed.
"Y-You're right."
My hands were shaking and my heart was pounding.
I couldn't believe I was trapped in a closet with my secret crush, Jake Thompson.
I had liked him since freshman year, but I had never mustered the courage to talk to him.
Now, here I was, alone with him, and I had no idea what to do.
"What do you think is going on?" he asked.
"I don't know. Maybe there's a shooter on campus or something."
He looked at me sharply.
"Do you really think that?"
"No, I guess not."
I laughed nervously.
"It's just an excuse, I guess."
He looked at me for a few moments and then sighed.
"Well, we might as well make ourselves comfortable," he said.
"We're going to be here for a while."
He sat down on the floor and leaned back against the wall.
I hesitated for a few moments and then did the same.
We were both silent for a few moments, and then he turned to me.
"So, tell me about yourself," he said.
"What do you like to do for fun?"
I shrugged.
"Um, I like…books."
"Books?"
"Yeah. I know it sounds weird, but I really like them."
He laughed.

I shifted slightly, trying to get comfortable on the hard floor.
"Um, I like to read."
"What's your favorite book?"
I thought for a moment.
"Probably 'The Great Gatsby'."
He nodded thoughtfully.
"I love the idea of chasing dreams."
"What about you?"
I asked.
"Do you have a favorite book?"
He smiled slightly.
"I do. It's 'To Kill a Mockingbird'."

"That's a great choice," I said.
"I love Scout Finch. She's so brave and curious."
"Yeah, she is," he agreed.
"I think we could all learn a thing or two from her."
We were both silent for a few moments, lost in our own thoughts.
Then he turned to me again.
"So, Lily, what do you think about the school lockdown?"
"I'm not sure," I said honestly.
"It's definitely not something you see every day."
"But it's good that we're safe in here," he said.
"Yes, it is."
