This last May, my high school had a lockdown. I was home sick at the time, so my knowledge of the events that happened that day come mostly from what I heard through administrators and classmates after the incident, and the text messages I received during it. The administrators haven't disclosed much about the situation, which is only making the rumors surrounding this worse. After months of trying to make sense of all this, I am just tired and confused. Maybe someone out there reading this can finally help me. Ill try to provide as much background information as I can in order for this to make sense. I had been texting my best friend Andrew all day while hedging out on my bed with Netflix playing in the background. He first texted me about the lockdown at 11:27, which means he would've been in 4th hour Spanish class. Being that the seniors just graduated, his class was quite small. Only 6 students besides him in it. Below are the texts we sent to each other that day, starting at 11:27.

Him: Dude holy shit Lindsey reply Lindsey

Me: What

Him: The school just went into lockdown

Me: Like a drill or what

Him: I think its for real. The PA came on during class and said "students and administrators  please go into level 3 lockdown procedure. This is not a drill." like everyone's in the corner

Me: Wait, level 3? Doesn't that mean someone's in the building? Shit man I'm shaking now the school better not be messing with you all

Him: Its so quiet now. There isn't a sound in the entire building. This doesn't seem like they're faking us out.

Me: I just told my mom. She hasn't heard anything about it yet.

Him: Wait. I can hear someone walking down the hallway. Probably the office people coming to let us out.

Me: What if it isn't?

Him: Seriously stop Lindsey you asshole

Me: Sorry you probably have nothing to worry about tho man

Him: I can hear them going down the hallway turning all the door handles

Me: Yea that's what they do during a drill, make sure the teachers all lock them.

Him: They are talking

Me: Yea then its definitely administrators.

Him: No it doesn't make any sense. Its all gibberish. I don't think its even in English. Wth

Me: Drew you guys are okay tho right? Your door is locked and the lights off. Have they gone in any other classrooms?

Andrew?

Hello?

Him: My mom isn't answering. Someone next to me is crying. He's outside my classroom

Me: Don't make a sound okay?

Andrew?

Did he leave?

Hello?

ANDREW!

Andrew, hello?

Please text me back

Andrew?

He never responded. From what I've been told the school eventually came out of lockdown mode. When they went around to each classroom to check in, Andrew's classroom door was still locked. They called out to the people inside and received no response back. Firefighters eventually knocked the door down. When they got in, there was nobody inside. The whole classroom was empty. Officials have offered no explanation as to where they are or what happened. I guess most people in town eventually moved on, shifted their attention elsewhere. It seems as though no one even cares anymore, But I still do, and I need answers. I need to find my best friend.
