Some sort of computer virus preventing me from accessing it.

So we're at our school's computer laboratory where we're doing an activity. The teacher asked us to save our work into our flash drives. I hesitated because our school's computers are: full of viruses, never cleaned of previous year's files, has no antivirus, always broken, and the whole lab isn't 100% usable because 25% of PCs are broken since last year. I have no choice, I have to save this file because if I don't, I won't have a grade. So I plugged

it on the computer. It was not recognized. I tried plugging it on the other port and it worked. I was able to access and do whatever I want on the flash drive. When I went home I plugged it into my PC. It was recognized. I opened file explorer, clicked on "Removable Disk (Disk letter:)". The explorer suddenly stops responding. I tried opening another one (it sometimes works), clicked on "Removable Disk (Disk letter:)", then it stops responding. I checked on task manager to see what's happening. I saw the disk percentage is on SINGLE DIGITS. I opened the performance tab and saw that the disk 0 (C:)' chart/graph suddenly dropped. The read and write time is 0. I can't even eject the drive because when I right-click on the eject button on the taskbar, the entire desktop freezes. I pulled it out, then the disk percentage went back to normal, like nothing happened. I plugged the drive in again and what happened is the same. Even the antivirus can't scan the drive.
