whirlwind

The night before my 8th grade graduation the tornado siren went off, but the parents there said, "Aww...don't worry about that," so we just kept on dancing. Then about an hour later, like, we found out there really was a tornado, so we had to, like go to this bomb shelter or something and sit and wait. So there were, I don't know, hundreds of us sitting around in these little circles, in our little 8th grade dance dresses, you know. But I got to know a whole bunch of people I'd never even met before. And then the next day I graduated from 8th grade.
