I was going to the bathroom to refill my water bottle when I heard the fire alarm... when I got back we started to evacuate...

We got as far as the bottom half of the stairs when the administrators started shouting at us to get inside.

At this point, we thought it was a real fire. We were directed to a different classroom, and were sent straight to a supplies closet.

We were still unsure about what was going on... we barricaded ourselves in to the closest after about 20 minutes, with a ton of desks and cables.

They came in with guns... they told us to put our hands up, and we filed out of the closet. Outside the classroom, there were even more police.

Once we got outside into the clearing and saw all of the police we got a sense of just how big this was.

I will go to one of the vigils that is happening later at the Parkland Recreation Centre with a group of my friends.

None of my close friends were killed or injured, but some people who I know from some of my classes have been.

I feel like I have to cry but I haven't been able to.
