Kesley: "No way!! Come on Rosie, it's too late for an April fool's prank."
Rose: "Ughh..why can't you just believe me for once! My father just told me there are zombies roaming all around the city and the thing is, we still don't know how to spot one!"
Rose's father had been a part of Zombie Research Society but left his job after the society payed no attention to his latest work. Since then he is working independently.
Kesley:"I still don't trust you! You cannot use your father's name and even if you wanted to play this prank, you should have done more research. It's easy to spot a zombie, they are featureless,slimy,wobbly....."
???:"Hello ladies, mind to explain what both of you are doing here when the college has already started?"
Kesley was interrupted by someone.
Kesley: "Oh..good morning Miss.Smith. Rose was just telling me...."
Rose: "Th...that she should wa..wake up early, or else she will be late like today...come on Kess we need to go."
Rose pulled Kesley by her arm and dragged her inside the campus,while Kesley smirked at her.
Kesley:"Why Rosie,what happened?Should we not tell her if the zombies are attacking?"she said in a mocking way.
Rose:"First of all,your definition of a zombie is not completely right and we never know,what if Miss.Smith was one.Now we have to attend the classes anyhow."
Kesley:"What!!" Even though Kesley found it hard to believe but the seriousness in Rose's voice and her inner instinct told her something was not right.
While Rose was searching for her time table, Mrs.Smith brushed past them and whispered to Kesley ...."MAYBE SHE IS RIGHT."
Kesley was frozen at her place until Rose nudged her.
Rose:"Hey,I found it. I have maths first, I need to hurry. Be careful and meet me after the first class,we can't stay here for long. Bye!"
<Time Skip> <After the first class>
Rose and Kesley met at the cafeteria and decided to head back home to discuss things more clearly with Rose's father. Kesley still hasn't told Rose about Mrs.Smith because she was still in shock and was internally arguing if it all was actually happening.
As they were walking through the corridors, someone called them from behind.
Alisa: "Wait guys,where are you both going, we have to go to the library now." She said while making her way in between them and clinging to their arms.
Alisa:"You know,yesterday I found a book on zombies and it said they are not all wobbly at first." She said while looking at Kesley.
Kesley,with a horrified face, looked at Rose and understood what she was trying to convey through her eyes.
Rose:"Umm..we have some important work to do.We will be back soon...bye!"
They both freed their arms from Alisa and walked out of the college at the fastest pace possible.
Rose:"It's getting worse.."she said while panting.
After Kesley told Rose about the incident with Mrs.Smith, she surprisingly seemed calm instead of being angry.
Rose:"Not a surprise,her red eyes gave it away at the first place.Quick we can't use the bus,it's dangerous.We need to walk."
Kesley obediently followed until she stopped in her tracks and panicked.
Kesley:"Don't tell me Alisa was.."
Rose:"A zombie..we are not sure but there is no other way she could have heard our conversation unless Mrs.Smith told her so."
Kesley:"Aren't we going to tell the other people at school?Aren't we being too selfish, chickening out,leaving them all to die?"
