It is a joke of the fire alarm. When Sophie was cleaning the blackboard after his class ended last night, the fire alarm went off. The alarm was sounded like the busy signal on the phone, but 1,000 times loud. Instead of leave the building, she walked about to see that the problem was. The school seemed to be empty. Then she walked by one room, but saw about seven students inside. She told everyone to leave immediate, and after almost five minutes, both of them left the building. Then a school police office arrived the school and walked around the area. He said it was a false alarm and used his key to turn down the alarm.
