Cherreads

Chapter 3 - Run.

Jin made all sorts of gurgling noises each one disturbing than the other. Hanna immediately moved away from her to my side and looked at me as if asking what to do.

Honestly I didn't know myself, but one thing for sure, Jin was no longer human. Her body seems flexible too flexible, each time she moved you could hear her bones shift or break.

Then she screamed out.

"No no no..NO! IM HUMAN! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME IM YOUR FRIEND!"

It was like a desperate plea, though her voice was deformed and slurred. Some classmates took pity and went closer.

Fucking idiots, those types always die first, always to sympathetic and too kind for this world, they lack common sense.

I expected Hanna to go aswell but she stayed by my side her, expression indifferent.

At least she has some sense.

Jin eyes glazed white and her skin was peeling with a pale green look.

Wasn't pleasant to look at.

Jin head twisted unnaturally to me and Hanna. I froze and so did Hanna. Jin's eyes where blank, just white while her jaw was split.

Great I'm going to die here with Hanna beside me. How wonderful.

Jin looked at my cut lip. Of course, she's attracted to blood. I push Hanna one way and I run the other way. Let's see if these creatures are attracted to blood only.

I go the other way of the class and pinch my lip to squeeze blood out. As expected Jin turned to me. Perfect.

I stood infront of the window. I'm sure you can guess my perfect plan.

Jin lunged at me and I wait for the perfect moment to move.

Oh my God.

Hanna barged Jin out the path to me.

This girl.

"Why the hell are you just standing there!"

Hanna shouted at me as she ran back to me and took my hand.

"You ruined my plan.." I mumbled

"Plan for getting yourself killed or what!? You idiot."

There's no point in explaining or arguing now, my plan is ruined and I rather just accept death. Wait we could just run out and make it to the roof.

Your so smart Alex.

"Hanna, just let me lead and don't interfere unless I say."

"Why the hell should I follow you, the person who stood still twice infront of those things!"

"We don't have time to argue right now, more might come."

She sighs and let's me lead. We both head for the door where some of our classmates are still alive, Chase, Hyun, Ashlyn, Yunjin and Sieun are. I'll explain who they are after.. if I'm still alive that is.

Those 5 don't look ill like the others. Mabye their safe or not but I'll go with my gut and take them.

"Follow if you want to live!"

I stay ahead holding Hanna's hand as I kick open the door and glance back one last time, I really wished I didn't. Jin was eating one of my classmates. A small boy who used to get bullied alot by Hanna and her group aswell. Poor guy.

Half of the others where turned aswell. That's it then, they start with being ill before turning all zombie.

The other 5 tagged along with me and Hanna.

They have brains.

We run through the bloodied corridors, stepping and avoiding limbs and debri.

We get to the stairs, looks clear. Shit I forgot my bag.

I glance back seeing the corridor empty. The class would be full of zombies still..

Should I risk it.

"Why did you stop." Hanna was still holding my hand.

"You guys go to the roof, I'll meet you in and hour."

"What no were going together."

Hanna stated firmly.

Thank god for Chase, a guy who obviously liked her took her hand and led her up. Though her protests were still audible.

"Let go she'll die!"

Yunjin decided to take lead for the time.

"We'll wait for you up there, do whatever you need"

"Thanks."

I see a glimpse of Hanna's expression, worry and anger?

Either was it doesn't matter if I live or not, I don't care and nor should she.

I run off back to the class.

I slow down at the entrance to hear.

Shuffling feet, groans and chewing. I peak in to see my bag and Hanna's.

I just want mine but if I'm going in I might aswell risk it and take both. More supplies then.

My classmates.. or zombies now are in the corner feeding off a body..who I can't even tell who it is.

I sigh softly. You got this Alex.

I go in, making sure to avoid anything that can make a noise.

This is so fucking terrifying.

I manage to get to my desk where mine and Hanna's bag are.

Yess my skateboard is still intact.

I put my bag on slowly and quietly and hold Hanna's.

Why is her bag so heavy, is she carrying a dead body in here or what.

I go to the door ready to dash to the roof. Then of course last second I stub my toe on table leg.

Hurts like hell.

The sound was loud enough to make the zombies in the corner all look at me.

Why do I do this to myself.

I run immediately out the door to the corridor.

I make the run for upstairs, running past zombies on the way and trying to avoid debri.

Glass shatters beside me, a zombie fucking jumped through it to try and get me.

The glass leaves small cuts on my face and I use Hanna's bag to hit it, swinging hard.

Oh sweet it actually worked.

I run upstairs praying I don't slip on the blood.

My bag is still on my back safely and Hanna's one scraping my hand from my grip. I go two steps at a time. Man this is actually going to give me a heart attack, I can literally hear the zombies bones crack and run up behind me.

I make it up and bang on the door.

"Open it!!"

No response. Shit.

I bang harder. The zombies are one set of stairs away. I can't remember their names except Hanna's.. but I really don't want to.

Screw it.

"HANNA!"

Almost immediately the door flings open and I fall onto her, her bag falling out of my hand beside us.

Two of the boys close the door quickly behind us and block it off with debri.

I breathe heavily, forgetting I'm on Hanna.

I feel her hands tremble slightly at my sides. Is she hugging me?

She pushes me off.

Oh.

"Alexandra."

"Yes.."

"Did you get bitten."

"Of course not."

Her blue eyes look suspicious but soften slightly at the multiple cuts on my face.

She gets up and I do the same.

The roof looks big with scraps of materials. I walk to the middle where the others seems to be trying to start a fire with left over wood blocks. I keep my bag on not trusting anyone and look through Hanna's. Perfect she's busy trying to help with the fire.

I go through her bag and find a pocket knife. Oh I'm definitely taking this.

The rest is a blanket some snacks, books and her pencil case. She can have those.

I smoothly slip the knife in my pocket and go to Hanna.

"Blonde, your bag."

I toss it over.

She doesn't even thank me and goes away with it. Rude.

I still don't know the other fives name, well more of forgot. All of them go to the opposite side of the roof from me. Distancing themselves? Do they not trust me..?

Odd.
