On October 31, 2013, there was a fire alarm at Thomas R Pollicita middle school. It was really time consuming. Some people hated it. Some people loved it because it was a chance to miss class. The first bell was surprising and happened during sixth period. We all left the building. We went to the blacktop to sit and wait. Lots of people were confused and chatting with other people asking, “What’s happening?” We all went outside and the principal asked all of us who pulled the alarm, and we learned that maybe it was a joke. We stayed there for about ten minutes. Just sitting down. He told us that if it rings again, don’t evacuate, just continue with class. When we we went back, the bell rung, which meant that we needed to go to seventh period. When we went to seventh period, 5 minutes later, the fire alarm rung again. The intercom told us that it’s just a false alarm and not to worry. Few seconds later, it rings again, and the intercom told us to, “Evacuate the building.” So we went out again, and stayed at the blacktop. It lasted for twenty minutes.
