Emergency assembly. The children began talking at once.

Thomas yelled as she ran by them. I rushed inside to see Casey jogging up the stairs with Mindy as the bell continued to ring. Our bell system was awesome.

Mary said softly, walking closer to Melody with a worried expression on her face. Melody stared at her for a moment, then said, “The bell is what keeps the mansion organized; the bell is what makes sure that everything is done on time and in the proper manner.

You couldn't care less if the entire world turned to space dust. You said so yourself. So… why?” Mary asked.

A boy hands me a small bell and says: — Father, would you like to try it? I shake my head, smiling, but at the same moment, the great bell in the bell tower bursts out. Its rumble rolls over the hills, shakes the windows, stops conversations. The day is proclaimed. The hour approaches. I take a deep breath. I smell the wax, the cold stone, the warm bread. Everything is simple, everything is immense. --- THE VOICES In the streets, the village awakens as one body.

"Rrrinng~" Our teacher is stopped halfway through his sentence when the bell rings. Students automatically stand up and hurry themselves out after the alarm. I am still on one of the seats at the back, but my old seat is now occupied by someone called Arche. I am still a bit annoyed at these boys' attitude, but I think they will smack me if I dare to speak against them. When almost half of the class are outside, our teacher exits too after writing the book pages of our homework on the board. By then I stand up to gather my things.

As he turned his head facing towards the direction where Raphael was standing asking the question to him. " I have no idea. " Raphael said with a very cold voice as he was definitely trying to answer the question that was being asked to him by Nathan. None of them could understand what was going on. They just had to take it the way they were seeing it because, in no time, classes are going to begin. And there is the need for them to attend the class no matter how it may take them. " Ring...
