Spoiler! :
The snake came slithering out of its cage. Not one of the students in Mr. Schmidt’s class even noticed. Soon after the snake slithered off the counter, the lunch bell rang. All of the students ran to get their lunches and then lined up at the door. Anne was the first one back to her seat. Suddenly, she screamed.
Her scream was so loud and piercing that the nearby students outside, rushed to see what was going on. Jake had heard the scream as well and was making his way through the crowd of students. Mina, wearing and anxious look on her face followed her brother silently.
“Snake! Snake!” Anne was shouting, her pulse racing as she jumped onto her chair. Jake’s eyes caught sight of something long and striped, heading towards Anne’s chair. Mina gasped behind him and clung to his arm cowardly. The rest of the kids’ voices were barely audible.
Jake didn’t waste time and darted towards the empty cage. Mina followed him like a lost puppy; her eyes widened, full of fear. “Anne! Catch!” Jake threw an umbrella at Anne. She turned around and caught it expertly. The snake hissed while closing in on its pray. Its gaze locked on Anne’s feet. Saliva dripped from its mouth
Anne was now using the closed umbrella to hit the snake but missed every time. The snake was fast. Jake was trying to close in on it with a cloth in his hand. Mina inched towards the snake, holding the empty cage in her trembling fingers.
“Anne, keep it distracted!” Jake ordered in a firm voice.
Everything else happened so fast. The second the snake leaped at Anne, Jake grabbed it with the cloth. It wiggled underneath as he brought it closer to the cage. Frightened, Mina dropped the cage on Jake’s foot. He yelped releasing the snake which lunged straight for Mina’s ankle.
Suddenly, someone pierced a knife into the snake’s smooth skin. It struggled but slowly, froze to death. A pool of blood was created beneath it.
Anne panted with one hand clapped on her forehead. Jake, who wore a pained expression, was sitting on the chair rubbing his foot. Mina stood petrified, staring at the dead creature which lay before her. Her whole body was shaking as she looked up to see–
“Mr. Schmidt!” She yelled with relief, finally finding her voice.
Oh and please try not to be too harsh... just kidding.
