The Perfect Victim
Just then, I felt the room start to shake.
It was an earthquake!
Our classroom was on the first floor. If I ran outside, I would make it to the open field. Just as I was about to run out, Claire yanked me back hard.
"Louis, if you're going to break up with me, I have no reason to live anymore. Let's die together."
I watched helplessly as the beam above us came crashing down.
I had no idea how long I was trapped under the rubble. All I knew was that when the rescue team finally pulled me out, countless cameras were pointed right at me.
