Lotus Bud: A New Age

Day 1: Hellzone High School

"Thanks for letting me see your homework RJ," Landon said as he passed RJ's paper back across the table.

"Your welcome," RJ responded.

"You know maybe if you did your own homework for once maybe your hand writing wouldn't look like chicken scratch,"Ayliaah shot at Landon.

Landon turned to her and gave her the I'm about to shut you down look and replied, "You know maybe if you stop talking smack someone may come along and like you. Who knows maybe you could get a boyfriend."

Everyone at the table started laughing. "And that's why I bring this bomb ass tea to school," RJ said as he sipped it from his metal canister.

The group sat and said jokes while eating like any other day. POP! POP!POP! Immediately Landon and his friends ducked under neath their table. Screams were heard in the background and then the school sirens came on. "Lockdown, I repeat lockdown. This is not a drill. Lockdown!!" The principle said into the intercom.

"Did he just say lockdown?!", Lynn exclaimed. Angel put her hand over Lynn's mouth as she calmed her down.

Landon looked as his friends and they all hurtled together. Cameron got out a sheet of paper from his back pack and put it on the floor. "We need to be prepared incase someone comes in here and starts choosing their next target." Landon wrote in the paper and everyone nodded their heads in assurance they knew what to do.

Ayliaah wrote "I can't read chicken scratch". She managed a smile and rifled through her bag for anything that could be used as a weapon. Angel pulled out her pencil sharpener and started sharpening everyone's wooden pencils. BOOM!!! Everyone in the lunch room looked around at each other confused.

"What the hell was that?!" Mariah whispered to her friends.

"I don't know, but I know we are gonna find out one way or another. I have this feeling we aren't gonna like what we are gonna see.." Landon said to his friends.

Suddenly, the lights cut out and screams echoed the school. "Check your phones!Put them on low brightness to save power." RJ said.

Everyone nodded and clenched their school made weapons and gathered close. "If we are getting Frazier we need to get him now." RJ said.

"That asshole isn't important!" Angel snapped. Landon turned his head to Angel and gave her the "correct yourself" look.

"The school is in lockdown!", Lynn pleaded.

"I don't give a damn if it's under lockdown or your bleeding out we are getting Fraizer!!" Landon snapped. They all just stopped and gathered themselves for a second. Landon looked up and they all stood up and headed up the stairs the Frazier. "He should be in the military class," Landon said.

"He better have some guns," RJ whispered.

Everyone couldn't help but to laugh in agreement.
As soon as they got to the military class Frazier popped open the door and pinned Landon down reaching his arm back to punch him. "Oh snap, Landon!" Frazier said as he gave his friend a hug.

"I need you to slow down tiger and let me up."Landon said. Frazier helped Landon up and asked if they knew what was happening, everyone just said no.

Frazier stopped and told everyone to prepare themselves. "Your not going to believe me..." He looked down and paused.

"Of course we will." Landon said and put his hand on Frazier's shoulder.

"You really won't." Frazier said.

"Stop wasting time all fucking ready," Angel yelled.

Frazier launched himself at her, but Landon stopped him and backed him up on a locker. "Calm down tiger." Landon calmly said. Frazier's attention slowly shifted from Angel to Landon and he looked him in the eye and pulled him in for a hug.

"Man I'm happy your ok." Frazier said.

"I'm happy your ok too, but tell us what's going on." Landon said.

"On the radio transmission in our class, the military came on and broadcasted something about zombies." Frazier stopped. Everyone started laughing, Landon started snickering. Everyone stopped and looked up at Frazier whose face was as serious as ever.

"Oh shit, your serious." Landon said as he backed up and looked Frazier in the eye.

Frazier nodded and looked everyone in the eye.
