The white dazed eyes of the creature meets mine. My green eyes wavered confused and scared. It reminded me of a kdrama I watched, mhm I think it was called 'all of us are bread?' Wait no time for that Alex there's a literal zombie against the window of your school and your thinking of Kdrama. I swear I have the survival instincts of a rock.
Having said that I am still staring down the zombie. I dont know why so don't ask me either. Well my classmates are all at the door ready to run if needed but they seem intrigued as much as me at this creature. Hanna seems to be the closest to me despite being at the door.
What is she just pushes me to it. No she would never right..? Haha..
The zombie seems to be trying to knaw at the glass driven by, bloodlust? Is it me..? I subconsciously touch my cut lip.
As I do the zombie gets more erratic.
Yep, I'm definitely going to die with all the cuts and bruises I have.
As the zombie moves more the glass cracks slightly just a small piece. As it does I feel hands grab me and pull me back.. feels like Hanna's.
IS SHE GOING TO PUSH ME?!?
She pulls me back to the door instead. Oh I'm overreacting lol.
Hanna starts scolding me like a child.
"Can't you see that there's some creature there trying to attack, why where you just looking at It like some its a staring competition."
"I don't know.."
Hanna sighs and runs her hand through her blonde locks.
"I'll go get the teachers."
She goes .. but why the hell is she dragging me with her. Her grip is hella strong to.
"Let go I can walk myself."
"You clearly couldn't before and I don't trust you alone."
She got me there I won't lie but I refuse to admit I'm wrong.
"Yeah yeah I can now."
"Fine then."
She roughly let's go of my wrist and walks ahead as if expecting me to follow.
Well I could either go back to class where that thing was and my classmates crying in panicking, or I can go with her and ditch her if things go wrong.
Yeah I'll go with her. I follow her as she wanted, though im not happy about it.
I touch my ear slightly. I forgot my earphones. I start mentally cursing myself I left everything I need. My skateboard aswell.
Hanna notices me falling behind and grabs my wrist again.
Ew she's touching me.
"Hurry ur ass up."
I was about to talk shit back but in the end just nod along and go.
That was so not like me feels unnatural.
We walk down to the teachers office. She opens it first with her same sweet talk.
"Miss park there's a disturbance upstairs.."
She stops mid sentence as she opens the door.
I peak over.
"Whats wrong? Oh shit." The teachers office is full of the creatures or zombies. The teachers seem to have all turned.
Around 5.. no 7 of them in there, the smell of rotten flesh and fresh blood fills my senses. Makes me sick to my stomach.
They all turn their heads simultaneously at us, the movement sounding like they broke their necks just one big crack.
Miss park, who has also turned lunges at Hanna, who at the moment is frozen in shock.
I don't even think and slam the door close and take Hannas hand to run back to class.
"Can't you see that there's some creature there trying to attack, why where you just looking at It like some its a staring competition."
I taunt getting her back from earlier despite our situation.
"Shut up and just run before we get eaten."
"Then go faster."
She scowls at me but picks up the pace.
I know I hate her but her reactions are keeping me sane right now.
We run back upstairs to our class. This time I go first not trusting Hanna to go. I try opening the door..locked? No its blocked from the otherside.
She knocks.
"Is anyone in there?
Hanna says gently. Sounds of whispers and rustling come from inside. They're definitely in there. I sigh and move her aside aside and knock harder.
"Open up now."
A small voice that could be mistaken for a mouse speaks.
"Hanna and .. Alex?"
"Yes it's us we need to talk about our situation."
"we're waiting." Hanna adds.
They finally open it and let us in
I go in first and check for my stuff first seeing my skateboard and earphones are still at my desk. Hanna just watches me go to my stuff, disappointed mabye? Though it's hard to tell with her.
Hanna obviously being the 'perfect student' she is goes to check on everyone. Specifically her gang.
I glance out the window again where the zombie was before but has seems to fell, mabye? Not sure but it is gone. That's all the matters I guess.
A cough.
I come back to my sense and look up at my classmate who coughed and next to them some were bleeding while others are coughing and sniffling. Are they ill? I glance at Jin, she's coughing bad and nose running. But she was fine when school started?
Mabye it could be nerves or the horrible smell making her sick? But wouldn't that make her vomit instead of coughing and sniffling.
I see Hanna going to help her and I grab her wrists and shake my head at her to stop.
"What." She seems annoyed at me.
"As much as I hate your the only one not coughing like a maniac, so dont start."
"Oh so you do hate me, hm?"
"Don't take it personally."
"I already am."
"Never had someone say that to you?."
Hanna shakes her head in disbelief and some amusement but let's me pull her away.
I take her aside from everyone coughing but my grip stays on her wrist. As I talk.
"Something wrong with them."
"Well no shit."
"Let me speak then."
"Go on then."
"No one was like this before we left, so something definitely happened in the short time we were gone."
"Meaning?"
I sigh at her impatient attitude.
"The zombie before at the window is gone but look, the crack in the window looks bigger and you can see smeres of blood. That was not there before we left, I think one of our classmates tried pushing the zombie off and failed. Mabye bitten or whatever they do to infect others and did the rest to our class."
"And which stupid person in our class do you think did went to the window."
"Jin, she's the most ill here."
"First time I've seen you use your brain."
"I just want to survive."
"Everyone does, so watch your back Alex."
She walks to get her stuff and gather supplies.
Was that a threat or warning..?
This girl will be the reason i die, but for now she's the only safe option.
I start gathering my own things aswell my phone, earphones, skateboard, backpack and anything that could be as material or weapons. i shove it all in my bag ready. My skateboard half sticking out, I don't plan to leave it behind. I put the bag on my desk ready to grab it when needed.
I head to the window to look outside. No signs of humans.. only the zombies dragging their feet looking for flesh.
It's a horror fest out there. blood smered wherever you see limbs laying around and the sounds of groaning and feet dragging the sound insufferable.
I reach for my earphones but then the sound of someone gaging happens behind me. Sounds like Jin. I turn around and see her vomit in the corner. Hanna rubbing her back from the side.
I feel sick seeing it myself but her vomit seems off. It's a mix of pale green and blood... Then a crack.. like bones shifting and mutating. I look at Jin.
That was no longer Jin.
