Tick tock, tick tock, brrrrriinnngg! I hit my head on the huge lamp trying to get up. I look at the clock and it was already 7:40. I was sure I would be late for school. Lets see, I put on a turquoise top and jean shorts. I put my hair up in a pony tail until I get on the bus. I told my mom I was heading to the school bus while running through the house.
"Ok, make sure you take your bagel or else you will be hungry later. Walk to the bank with your friends and I will leave work early to take you out for ice cream."
I thanked her and ran out the door where the bus was close to a block away from my house. I jogged with my hair down whacking me continuously in my face. I was trying to get on the bus and saw my friend Alex in the back row. She saw me and told the driver to stop the bus, but the driver ignore her.
"Brianna keep running and I will pull you in!"
Alex, my best friend, couldn't take no for an answer so she went to the front of the bus to try to pry the door open for me. My other friends Ralph and Toney helped too, which made it open. I caught up to the bus and they pull me in. The driver yelled at us.
"What do you think you're doing? You could have been killed but more importantly I would have lost my job! You stupid kids, get in and you will not speak of this to anyone."
We walked towards the back when we were stopped by the school bully.  took out my brush and took out my the hair tie that was tightened around my hair. The school bus was filled with noisy kids yelling out of control. The bus stopped to pick up Mario and Ralph in their neighborhood's. We all started talking about how our night went and then we were stopped by the school bully, Charles, a twelfth grader.  He stomped his feet toward us and grabbed Mario. We all suddenly realized Mario was in a headlock. Mario's face started to turn a different color and the rest of us grabbed Mario with a tug. We were able to get Mario out of Charles's grasp after four pulls. Charles was pushed down in a sitting position and went across to the front of the bus. The bus driver told everyone to settle down. If there was any more violence then he would kick us out of the bus maybe even permanently. When we entered our school we came to a halt as the bus was making a screeching sounds because of the brakes. We were the last ones, as usual to get off the school bus. We had to run as fast as we could to our first class so we wouldn't be late. We were dropped off at school with two minutes to spare.If we got another tardy, we would have detention after school. We always walk in together whether we are late or not. We ran through the the the hall, a few steps from the door. The bell rang so loud I jump from the noise. We walk fast into the classroom hoping the teacher hasn't noticed. We sat down right before the bell stopped ringing. Our teacher, Mr. Salem, put in the attendance and called out my name.
"Brianna come here," saying with satisfaction.
"You have detention with your friends after school today."
It finally came to the end of the day and we only had one more class left which is English. It was a grammar day so we worked on how to make our sentences and stories better. The bell rang and everybody jumped right out of their seats. We went straight to Mr. Salem's class to get our detention over with. It is 3:00 and we get out at 4:45. The clock began to tick so slow as I waited for the terrible time to be over. I fell asleep and my friend Ralph had to wake me up before I was caught. The bell finally rang and we all ran out with excitement. We were walking towards my mom's office when we all stop at or favorite candy shop. I get a kit kat, Ralph got a Twix, Alex got Skittles, and Mario got a Snickers. We all sit down while we enjoy the delicious treats. It was 5:30 when we walk towards the bank. We walk in and the place is deserted. I think it is very weird and suspicious. My friends say it is no big deal, and everyone is probably getting dinner. I cool down and forget about it. We walk towards the back of the bank where my mother's office is. We walk in and I go over to her desk to find all her folders under it. There is a picture under the desk of a man with a black beard. He has a mean look on his face and has a thick black unibrow. All of a sudden we hear soft foot steps, then they become louder and getting closer. There is no space to hide in the office. We go behind the door while Ralph crawls under the desk. Mario hides behind a cabinet. Four men and a women barge inflaming the door against us. Our faces are turned and smudged against the wall. The lights turn off and we hear a scream from Mario. Alex and I get out from behind the door and see five people. Two men are holding down Mario and Ralph. I tell Alex to go run get help. Alex sprints like a dog that found a squirrel. I run out the door but I felt something clip my leg. I fell down catching myself with my hands. I struggle to get out of the women's grip. I kick and scream as loud as I could. I got out of the grip and sprint to the very back of the bank. I ran into a corner and I backed up to see a secret passageway. I ran in and closed it. It was pitch black and I keep walking. As I walk, the lights start turning on one by one. The last light turns on and I see an empty rolling metal chair. I grab the arm rest brining it towards me. Then I see an opening from the floor getting bigger and bigger. It has a spiral staircase going farther underground. I follow it and see lights flickering. I get to the bottom and see people tied up. I spot my mom laying on her back and run to her. I untie the ropes that hold her. She hugs me and we both start untying everyone. She says, "at 5:15 I saw people walk into the bank that looked suspicious but didn't say anything. I saw a guy pull a black bag out of his pants with a gun. Immediately I call the police. The guy threatened my best friend, Amelia. She swings a computer across his face. The rest of his gang brought us here and threatens to hurt our families." 
I ask how they got the men.
"They knock them all out."
I became full of fear and my face turns bright red like a fire truck. We finish untying and the men go up the staircase. We follow them and they grab the metal chair as a weapon or shield.  I tell my mom that we need to go save my friends. We all barge into the bank and come to a stop by a woman. Susanne, a new employee, goes up to the woman and punches her in the face so hard that she falls to the ground. We keep walking and we see my friends in chairs. We go into the room and see two men guarding them. Five of the men run and dog pile over them. We untie Ralph and Mario from the chairs. We run out the bank but run into an obstacle......Alex! I tell my mom Alex is getting the police and brining them here. My mom dials to call the police but before she presses call, the police is already walking up. Alex is getting out of the car running with her arms spread out for a hug. We hug each other for a long time. The police go inside the bank bringing the bad people out. We all go home and have a nice night together knowing everyone is ok.
