"He collapsed out of the blue, isn't breathing, no pulse," Sadde says quickly.

Matt walks through the gates and notices the scene. He stops for a moment, then breaks into a run, because what the hell is Sadde doing near a body having CPR performed on it?

Oh, it's Theo. Well, that just makes everything so much better.

A teacher comes out of the building and moves over towards them, sees the body and takes a sharp intake of breath.

"Has somebody called 911?" she asks, still looking at the body.

Fred nods and points at Owen, who is currently conversing with someone, relaying information about their location and the apparent state of the– person.

The girl continues performing chest compressions.

Okay good an adult except no Sadde doesn't really trust the competence of others just because they're adults so he keeps supervising it.

"Everyone give him some space, there should be a clear path for the paramedics when they arrive." He looks at the girl performing CPR expectantly.

Is that a sign for her to move? She gives him a look like look this guy is still not breathing and continues.

The teacher tells someone to go get the principal and a few moments after that the nurse appears on-scene. She takes over from the girl and ensures the body's head is tilted back to open the airway, checks for signs of breathing, and – finding none – continues chest compressions with the occasional rescue breath.

Matt runs off to fetch the principal.

Running. This is an exception to those repeated rules of 'no running in the halls', because it's an emergency, and Matt is actually surprisingly good at running.

… And then someone walks out the doors to the main school building and– notices what's going on. She freezes for a couple of seconds then runs over and tells people to get back, seeing as the teacher doesn't actually seem to be doing that and the nurse is busy and of course Sadde had the good idea first but she wasn't here to hear.

Sadde won't quibble about who said what first, he'll just help clear the way and where are the fucking paramedics?

They were only called like two minutes ago, c'mon, it's hardly fair to expect them to have come from a town over – remember, this is a small town; it's not like it has a hospital of its own, and there are only a few ambulances spread around towns in the local area – but actually! They do in fact arrive relatively shortly.

And then they rush out, get directed to the appropriate location by people saying 'oh, yeah, seems to be a commotion over there, must be for you' (wow, callous), and take over from the nurse!

Good okay those people he has reason to trust, he'll stand back and watch anxiously.

Someone else comes over with a gurney, they move him onto it and then take him back over to the ambulance.

Apparently it's kinda urgent, huh.

People are, thankfully, very much out of the way.

Yep! Teamwork, or something.

...okay now what.

Well, the ambulance goes. Sirens, pulling away quickly, everything seeming slightly rushed.

Then the nurse and the teacher look around and… tell people to go to their first classes. (Is there standard protocol for what happens when someone drops dead just before school? Yes, but it's not like they usually have to use it.)

Evelyn looks at them a bit disbelievingly.

Yeah, Sadde's a bit disbelieving as well.

(Theo is not dead he is just—unwell.)

(Are Sadde's skin and hair a bit paler than usual? Maybe.)

Matt runs out again, principal following not far behind, and stops when he notices the lack of– Theo.

Presumably he heard the ambulance, though. So he can probably guess where Theo has gone.

The principal seems to have a slightly better handle on the situation and recommends that they all get out of the courtyard at least, while the teachers check around and ensure there's nothing in the area that could have caused it (not that she uses this phrasing).

That means into the school building. Not outside the gates.

Uh huh. Sadde will follow quietly.

So people gradually make their way inside while the teacher checks around for things.

The nurse goes back to her office, in case anybody needs her.

People seem– quite shell-shocked.

Matt looks… a little angry? It's not immediately clear what it's at, so maybe it's just the state of the world. Or maybe it's himself.

Either way, it's a sort of slightly tearful anger.

Evelyn is just going to go to her first class.

She's not really sure what else to do.

Willow walks up to Sadde and hugs him quietly.

Sadde returns the hug and just—stays there, for a few minutes, before bidding her goodbye and going to class, too.

Matt will make his way to class, too.

First class of the day: seems quite subdued.

Yes. So it does.
