Authors have been chosen (read chapter two)
Things are slow on quibblo right now so I am attempting to add some action. This group story will not be long. You have a week to finish your chapter unless you notify me otherwise. I'm not an unreasonable person- I understand how busy life gets.
This is a group story about a school shooting. It pains me to know that these things happen, but they do. I want to show just a few of the effects a tragedy like this can have on each student in the school system. So yeah.
So here's the story. It's at Ellway school, in a small town. The school has grades seventh through senior year there. Everyone is going about there normal day until during the middle of third hour, lock down is called. There is a boy with a gun, threatening the students. For the students within the locked classrooms the wait is agonizingly long. Other student's are not so lucky. The shooter started in the cafeteria where the 7-9th graders were eating, then went to the library, and was finally shot down at the gym.
I want this story to show what's it's like for a community to go through this, plus challenge you guys to work on harder writing. I want to touch quibbloian's hearts with each student's story.
There will be three chapters written per person. The first round will be the prologue, before the shooting. The second round will the climax, and the third round will be the aftermath.

:)
who are so unlike herself. Tom likes to read (mostly science fiction) and is interested in photography, drawing and fixing things.
Strange kid and avoid him.
Social class: outsider
Background: Has two older brothers who are at university, Ronan who is 22 and Owen who is 20. They are both a lot like him and spent their time at the school much as he is doing. Because they are quiet like him, they too weren't very welcome among their classmates so the three brothers are very close. Tom's father is often away on business and the mother, though she loves her children, has never been quite sure how to handle the three quiet boys
Name: Tom Carter
Age: 17
Appearance: Medium height, shaggy, black hair and pale grey eyes. Wears old jeans,
Hoodies and scuffed trainers.
Personality: Not a big talker, but friendly to everyone and has a lot of self control. He can be funny in his own way, sometimes telling a joke which nobody gets for a few seconds because he says everything in the same tone of voice - calmly and gently. However because he doesnt normally go up and speak to people, quite a lot of students just think he's a tbc
Name- Tessa Brown
Age- 18
Appearance- Short, sandy-blond hair, tan skin, tall, scrawny build, wears dark t shirts and jeans.
Personality- Talkative, outgoing, friendly and very social. She has her secrets though, and can be very touchy about many personal subjects.
Social class- Not exactly popular, but she is well known. Tessa has a lot of friends, but also a lot of enemies. She's the kind of person where you either love her or hate her.
Background- Living her whole life in an average neighborhood, there was nothing outstanding about Tessa until the start of her senior year. From there, her life fell apart around her. Whereas for most, senior year in high school is the best, most memorable and enjoyable of high school, Tessa's was memorable for a different reason. At the start of her senior year, Tessa's father divorced her mother out of nowhere. Things went straight downhill from there for her.
TBC
All of her grandparents, to whom she was very close, died within months. Her mother met another man, Gregory, and got pregnant. Tessa was delighted that she wouldn't be an only child anymore. The idea of a little brother or sister was the best thing that had ever happened to her. But it wasn't meant to be.
Her mother had a miscarriage and the baby died. It pushed Tessa over the edge. She was never the same after that. Outwardly, she was the same. But inwardly, though she never showed it
TBC
She had completely changed
Name: Sean Turner (Shawn)
Age: 15
Appearance: Medium length shaggy bed head dirty blonde hair, Big brown eyes, at least five inches taller than the average, jeans that only go up to above his ankles, video game reference tshirts, white and blue worn out sneakers that are always untied, and average size and weight.
Personality: He is quiet and easily amused, he collects stuff that he finds off the floor and takes things from others when they are not looking.
TBC
Personality contin.
He is quite awkward around girls. He is considered to be the second smartest male in his class and many think he is a math prodigy. He's not so horrible with much subjects except science and social studies. He is usually found playing Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Suoer Smash Bros. and any other non childish game that is available.
Social Class: Nerd/ Gamer
Background: He is the second oldest of 2 brothers and two sisters. He comes home every night like a soldier
TBC
Because his dad is a veteran soldier. His dad is pushing him to be the greatest sportsman there is and uses him by force, blackmail, or bribes. He is actually not a bad goalie and tries in gym but that is only because he doesn't want to get in trouble with his dad. He is bullied at school a lot for being a nerdy gamer and at home he is bullied by his older brother for being smart. His mom died when he was really little and his stepmom makes him do choir when he doesn't like singing at all.
Name- Akira Haller (Sometimes called Kira) [pronounced uh-ky-ruh holl-err)
Age-(12-18) 14
Appearance- Tall for her age [about 5'11"], wavy dark brown hair a little past her shoulders which is usually worn in a high pony-tail, freckles across her upper nose and below her eyes, big light brown eyes,
Personality- sarcastic, energetic, competitive, skeptical, tough, strong, dirty minded and cold
Social class- Popular/Sporty/Gamer (if that last one is considered one lol?)
Background- Her brother has just recently stopped smoking after 7 years (he is 26), and she just recovered from a broken leg from playing soccer. Her dad has a high-paying job as a surgeon at the children's hospital and Akira's mom also has a high-paying job but works as a graphic designer. She lives at home with her mom and dad, and her male Pitbull named Kujo.
