Chapter 1

It was a normal day in Elwood City, Arthur was doing his normal morning routine, at home getting ready for school at Lakewood Elementary.

He caught the bus, with a few seconds to spare. Arthur was restless the previous night from a thunderstorm.

Muffy was dropped off in her limosuine, and all you could hear around was the sound of cars beeping, attempting to drop their kids off for school.

School started late for the class because Mr. Ratburn showed up late.

About 10 minutes into Mr. Ratburn lecturing Buster about his homework, Arthur fell asleep. The whole class was very tired from last night.

Time seemed to pass so slowly this school day.. then the lunch bell rang.

Mr. Ratburn told everybody to walk in a single file line, seeming very sleepy himself.

They arrived in the cafeteria, everybody found their seats. In the meanwhile, Ms. Tingley ran into Mr. Haney’s Office, seeming worried.

Chapter 2

The secretary said that the school had received a bomb threat over the phone from somebody. The telephone call cut off half way in, so Ms. Tingley did not know what person or group wanted and when the bomb was set off to detonate.

Mr. Haney immediately called Homeland Security and they sent in a bomb squad to the school. Meanwhile in the cafeteria, Arthur and his friends were talking about how new Woogles were being produced, but of course they said it was stupid and changed the topic.

Out of the blue, they heard sirens and everything seemed red and blue from the police sirens. The gang’s talking went quiet. Rattles chuckled a little, but attempted to hide it from the other Tough Costumers. Binky got defensive and rushed to say “What’s did you do man?” in a serious tone. Rattles didn’t reply back to his question, so Binky demanded an answer.

Chapter 3

A minute later they heard a man on a megaphone telling them “This is the Elwood City Police, evacuate from this building immediately in a calm matter.” Of course he knew they wouldn’t be calm, but he added it of course. He explained how there is a bomb scare here.

The students went into a panic. They rushed to the door, except a few unconscious, one of them Muffy. Francine worried about Muffy and tried to carry her but couldn’t do it by herself. She tried to scream, but it seemed like she couldn’t. No one noticed Muffy.

The door was locked which was awkward, because students sometimes go outside to eat their lunches. Everybody was stuck in building.

For a split second, everything went quiet. Then there was screams of terror. All everybody could see was a red light, and some smoke. Everybody was injured and rushed to Elwood City Hospital, the closest hospital to them.

Arthur woke up a couple of hours later in the hospital.

Chapter 4

He was in a body cast and was unable to move his body. He managed to move his eyes up, and he saw the TV. The Channel 2 news was on it. It was about an explosion at Lakewood Elementary.

There was a woman on the news, her name was Millicent Crosswire she was sobbing because her daughter died from the bomb. The name sounded familiar, but Arthur could not manage to remember who it was. Her face also seemed familiar to him.

Suddenly, it all came back to him. The lady on TV was Muffy’s mother. He did not remember much, but he knew what happened because of the news.

Chapter 5

Arthur’s family, along with Grandma Thora, walked into the hospital room where Arthur was staying. Arthur was in a coma for a couple of hours. Arthur’s mother noticed the heart monitor.

She screamed for the nurse, careless about the other patients at the hospital.

Arthur didn’t think it could be. All of his friends, their lives taken away just like that.

Arthur tried to yell for help, but he could not do it, as hard as he tried. Arthur saw his mom crying. But why? Arthur wasn’t dead, he was right there!

The nurse noticed what had happened to Arthur.

Arthur heard the nurse say that he died, but Arthur thought he was still alive because he could still see everybody in the room.

After a while of trying to believe he was alive, he just gave up.

Arthur had died.

Chapter 6

In the meanwhile, it was CNN’s top story of the day. Every national news station was trying to cover the story just as good as everybody else.

The police found out that the bomb was put under one the school’s cafeteria tables, the table where the Tough Customers usually sit. But today, they didn’t sit at that table. The Tough Customers were the first suspects of the bombing, but nobody figured they would be that violent other than being the generic school bullies that every school has so they just let it be.

Rattles couldn’t take what he did. He confessed to the police when he turned himself in. Rattles himself didn’t make the bomb, but somebody else did for him, Rattles spending all his birthday money on it. Rattles also had somebody call in the bomb threat for him. Rattles got the bomb and snuck into the school at 5:30am, almost getting caught by Mr. Haney.

Nobody ever went back to Lakewood Elementary, it would just be a distant memory for everybody.
