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 and saw Sarah sitting there. "It felt like..."
"..like that episode of Voyager where that wave passed through the entire ship," the two said in unison.
"But, that sort of thing doesn't happen in real life," Sarah said, sniffling a bit. Her sinuses were bothering her all of the sudden.
"Well, something happened," Zoe said.
"I guess," Sarah said, struggling to her feet and grabbing a large bookbag and putting it on her back. "But...everything feels fine...I mean...no broken bones or anything. I just feel...disoriented somehow."
People around them were struggling as well, everyone seemed to have had the wind knocked out of them.
The PA system roared to life. "Attention everyone...I...don't know what just happened...but...if anyone is seriously injured, please report to the nurse's office. For everyone who just fell over...that happened to everyone...please report to your first period class while we all try to figure this out."
"Who is that?" Zoe remarked.
"The principal...I think..." Sarah said. "But...you heard them. Let's get to class."
