The first day at Ericson's Boarding School for Troubled Youth was...how do you say it? Chaotic? I was 9 and I felt abandoned by my parents, the people who were supposed to love me no matter what. I was sent to the school because of...some bad things. I have come to terms with the fact that I did them, but that was no thanks to the school. The people who really helped me were my friends. Louis, Violet, Tenn and Marlon. They were the ones who helped me the most. Of course, the others helped, too, but the main group of people went out of their way to make me feel better. Anyway, the reason my first day was "chaotic" was because that was the day it started. The apocalypse.

I was in my room, putting all my belongings away, trying to stop my tears from falling. That was until someone rushed into my room, it was Violet.

Violet: New girl, right?

She seemed out of breath and I looked at her with wide eyes before nodding.

Violet: Nice to meet you, name's Violet. Anyway, something's happening outside, something bad.

You: What do you mean "something bad"?

Violet: Uh...it sounds crazy, but...the dead are walking?

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

You: Is this some kind of joke you play on the new kid?

Instead of keeping up the conversation with the girl, I continued to put my stuff away, rolling my eyes at the welcome I got.

Violet: No, I'm being serious. How are you so calm right now!?

You: Look, I've been to my fair share of schools, so I have been in my fair share of jo-

Violet seemed to get bored of me talking and groaned. She grabbed my arm and pulled me out through the corridor and outside to the courtyard.

All around us, there were kids yelling, screaming or just running around in panic.

You: Well, this is extremely elaborate.

Violet: I keep telling you, it's not a fucking prank!

From her tone, I could tell she was being serious.

You: Oh...

Violet: Yeah! Now help me get the younger ones inside.

You: How old are you?

Violet: 9, what about you?

You: I'm 9, too.

Violet: Look, I would love to get to know you, but...

She gestured to everything happening around us.

You: R-Right.

Violet: But just so I know. What's your name?

You: Y/n.

Violet: Well, Y/n, welcome to Ericson's, it's hell.
