Excerpt:
Ryleigh stood. This couldn’t be happening. With
only a few months left until graduation, she didn’t want to be forced to drop
out, but what else could she do? “Look, Mr. Jacobs, can’t you just—” Vertigo
assailed her. The room rocked, and she grabbed the desk.
Mr. Jacobs grabbed the back of his chair. His
eyes mirrored her panic. Books flew from the shelves. Glass shattered.
She had to get to Mia.
She turned to run. The building bucked, and she
toppled, slamming her knee into the hard wood floor. Pain shot up her leg. She
grabbed the chair to pull herself up, but the next wave threw her back down.
She tried to regain her footing, but someone yanked her to the ground.
“Stay down.” Mr. Jacobs shoved her forward. He
crawled beside her, half pushing, half dragging her toward the door.
Debris pelted her back, shoulders, and head. How
could she have left Mia? Tears blurred her vision.
“If it’s an earthquake, it should stop any
minute. Just keep crawling toward the door.”
Desperately wishing she could cover her ears to
block the screaming, she clawed forward. Her knee dragged behind her, pain
pulsing with each movement. Falling apart wouldn’t help matters. She had to get
to Mia.
Ryleigh crawled through the doorway, into utter
chaos. People trying to push through the mess, others huddled in corners
shielding their heads. An injured woman cried as she rocked back and forth
clutching her arm. A man crouched over her.
Fear and disorientation held Ryleigh immobile.
