Not again!

On the 13th of June there was another aftershock/earthquake. For the first aftershock i was at netball training the A team. We were doing a training session with Mr. Russel. I was jumping on Michelle because that's what we had to do.
Michelle said "Stop moving Emma, i think theres an aftershock!" So i stopped and there was an aftershock but not a small one .
It was one like your whole body is shaking to the beat of a song. Then Mr. Russel said "Everyone stop moving and stay very still." 
So we did. All i saw was people sceaming and running to the field, all shaking and wanting there parents to come and pick then up safe in there arms. Mr. Russel told us to go to the field and not to panic.
Mr. Barr did the roll and we were all here. Then Mrs. Black went on the computer and she said it was an aftershock. It was a 5.5 on the Richter scale. The we all went back into the class and read a book.
Just as we were about to do topic/peer pressure there was a big rumbling noise, it was an earthqa\uake! Mr. Barr said to go under our desks. Michelle, Ji Eun and I were all huddling together under the desks, but Billy didn't. he just said to us " I want to feel the earthquake!"
 But then we pulled him down. So, we went back to the field to start all over again like the other earthquakes in September and February . Then a little while after my mum picked my brother and i up and then we went home I did my science project!
