Intro
The first gunshot echoed through Hawthorne University at 10:17 a.m.
What should have been an ordinary Thursday instantly turned into chaos. Students ran screaming through hallways, classrooms locked their doors, and phones buzzed with terrifying emergency alerts. In the middle of it all, seven friends found themselves trapped on campus with no idea where the shooter was—or who would make it out alive.
All seven split up into groups all over the main campus building.
Not everyone would leave Hawthorne University the same person they were when the day began.
