Forcing the madness down

I seriously had to fight the urge to pull the fire alarm. I was waiting in line to give R.C.C. money so I could park my car on campus without getting a ticket. As if there won't be plenty of parking in a couple of weeks when half of the kids stop showing up. Which I thank them for, because their inability to keep off of their cell phones in class drives me crazy. But back to the alarm...

While standing in line I glance over and it's as if the thing is drowned in heaven's light. I can't believe that no one else has pulled it. I mean, it is almost begging for someone to do it. In thinking back on it, I have no idea where this feeling came from. Wherever it came from, I fought it down. I had the image in my head of pulling it and instead of people running all over the place they just stand here in line with me. They don't even twitch. I don't think I was looking to pull it to get people out of line. It just seemed too quiet and too calm in there.

I suppose I could have screamed and yelled and gotten some sort of effect, but I was so wrapped up in the alarm that I wasn't thinking about why, just that I needed to pull that alarm. Thankfully the girl in front of me decided to call her boo and talk at length about her surprise purchase for him. She then proceded to tell him what it was, and complain about how much she didn't need to come to school. At least the guy now has all day to dredge up some fake thanks for his suprise.
