It was like any other morning and only a few students in the school Ave Maria of the Red Penya had arrived. It was 7:53 and there were only seven minutes to get to school.
The reason for the delay was a horrible wind that made the trees tremble, like they were possessed. There hadn´t been a wind like that for 300 years.
Or so they say, because there is no trace of what happened that day. The only reminder that remains is the stories of some elders whose relatives lived in that day and remember it coldly.
The minutes passed and there were only three students in the courtyard waiting for the bell that students both hated but now saved them from the terrible storm.
Then it happened, the bell rang and all the students ran to the classroom. Only Irene and Sandra made it to class because they lived nearby. Earlier they had had math.
Their teacher, Augustine, was tall and nervous. He walked in the door very concerned about the other students who had not yet arrived.
Instead of going on to explain the activities for the day, as he always did, he told the two students to follow him.
They went downstairs to where the old music room was. Augustine then opened a small trapdoor in the floor and went down.
The two students were perplexed at first but soon followed. Underneath was a classroom with many computers with buttons of all colors and all shapes you could imagine.
Augustine looked at the computers and then turned and looked at the students
“I'll wait in class to see if someone else comes stay calm and if something happens push the purple button,” Augustine said and left quickly.
Soon students began arriving until the entire class arrived which Augustin led to the same place where he had brought Sandra and Irene.
Students were still very surprised that they had known nothing about such a complex room in their very own school.
Augustine cleared his throat and started to speak.
“First I must explain that each teacher could choose or take a class or our family as part of the planet that will not be affected by the end of the world.
And I chose you, my students, to survive. Now I will open a small room with chairs and hidromodernatonic belts.
Be careful, if you put the belt on incorrectly you will die in seconds.” Augustine opened a small door that no one had noticed until that moment and everyone
rushed to sit down on the rusted metal chairs and put their belts on.
Augustine then closed the door with a thick copper-colored key and sat on the chair in front of the purple button.
Then he pressed the button.
