As Jon and Karyn entered the school, they merged into the crowd. Though standing next to each other, and walking toward their classes, they were part of a larger group. Cheerleaders, jocks, nerds, and so on...everyone was going to the same places.
It felt like a sea, sweeping everyone along. However, people clustered within the sea of humanity...the cliques still seemed to be maintained, despite the momentum.
Then, suddenly it happened, an odd high pitched whine passed through everyone's ears...and a domino effect rolled across all the people in the hallway...as if someone at the front of the line had pushed the person behind them, bumping into the next person, and so on. Jon and Karyn suddenly had a feeling like a tidal wave they were being swept up in...because they knew something interesting was going to happen...they were more aware when something did.
Everyone, everywhere in the building was knocked to the ground, falling into other people, dropping what they were holding.
Elsewhere in the building, Zoe sat up, dazed. "What was that?" She said.
"I'm not sure," the person next to her remarked.
Zoe blinked, her eyes blurry. She reached around on the floor, instinctively and found something...and brought it to her face. It was a pair of glasses. She slipped them on, and suddenly everything seemed clear. She turned to see who had been speaking...
