Introduction [0:00]
The narrator sets the scene by describing a school lockdown and reveals that he was responsible for causing it. He then transitions into the story of how this situation unfolded, starting in the locker room after PE class.
The Locker Room Antics [0:22]
The locker room is described as a chaotic environment due to the lack of supervision and the high energy of students after PE class. The narrator introduces his friend Jerry, known for his lack of regard for danger. Together, they created a game involving Axe body spray and a lighter to create a flamethrower effect during a twisted version of hide-and-seek in the dark. This dangerous game had been ongoing for months, with minor incidents like melted water bottles and burnt shirts, but nothing serious had occurred until one particular day.
The Industrial-Sized Can [4:07]
After losing a basketball game, Jerry was in a particularly mischievous mood. He brought an industrial-sized can of Axe body spray into the locker room. During their usual game of hide-and-seek in the dark, Jerry created massive flames, causing the narrator to accidentally kick over a bottle of hand sanitizer. The spilled hand sanitizer created a puddle on the floor. When Jerry's flame reached the puddle, it ignited, causing a real fire to spread rapidly across the locker room.
The Fire Alarm [7:02]
The fire quickly spread, and the fire alarm was triggered. The students evacuated, and the narrator and Jerry tried to blend in, urging each other to keep their involvement a secret. As students gathered outside, fire trucks arrived, and the vice principal announced a serious incident in the boys' locker room. The narrator and Jerry realized the gravity of the situation.
The Interrogation [10:30]
Students who were in the locker room during fifth period were asked to report to the main office for questioning. The narrator and Jerry concocted a story to avoid implicating themselves. During the questioning, they denied seeing anything suspicious and avoided mentioning the game they were playing. After the questioning, they rejoined their class, and the fire department continued their investigation.
The Blackmail [13:29]
For the next three days, the investigation intensified, with fire investigators trying to determine the cause of the fire. A week after the incident, a classmate named Anthony approached the narrator and Jerry, revealing that he knew they were responsible for the fire. Anthony then blackmailed them, demanding $400 each in exchange for his silence.
Paying Up [18:25]
The narrator and Jerry scrambled to gather the money, selling their belongings and even selling candy at school. They met Anthony and handed over the cash they had collected, hoping it was enough. Anthony accepted the money and never told on them.
The Aftermath [19:47]
After two weeks, the investigation wrapped up, and the locker rooms reopened. The school determined that the fire was caused by a mixture of hand sanitizer and heat but did not uncover the specific details of how it happened. The incident was written off as an accident, and the narrator and Jerry avoided punishment.
