I was in 8th grade. The first tower was hit during my second period class and the teacher turned on the TV for the last 10 minutes before class ended. Our 3rd period teacher hadn't heard, but she put it on for us. During that period, the second tower was hit and both fell. I distinctly remember holding hands with my middle school girlfriend in class.
During the next period the teachers made an announcement. One kid clearly hadn't heard what happened and when the teacher explained it, he said "cool!". I remember my teacher being absolutely furious and telling him to "get the hell out" and kicked him out of the classroom. Our parents all came to get us after that.

I was in school for a couple hours by this point in the day. Some memories never go away.
