Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 1: It Begins

*BRAYDEN'S P.O.V.* (THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT IN New York.)

"That's three! Your out!" My best friend, Thomas says. I groan in annoyance and make my way back to the sidelines and get a drink of water as everyone switches positions. When I am done with my water I go out to the field and make my way to third base to guard. When everyone is ready and in their positions are team captain, Sydni also a good friend of mine, pitches the ball, we are playing kickball by the way, and Thomas gets ready to kick. Right when he is about to kick his mom comes out and says that it's time to come inside. We all nod and I grab the kickball while we all run inside. I am instantly hit with the amazing smell of homemade pizza and we all rush to the table.

I make myself a plate and so does everybody else. I am halfway through my third and final slice when Thomas' mom comes and turns on the TV. The news comes on and I mentally groan. I have always hated the news. Yes, it does fill you with facts but you can always go and fine out that kind of stuff yourself if you want to. When they say something like, 'it's going to be rainy today.' you could just go outside and see for yourself. I mean, I love the rain. Anyways, we were all watching and listening closely to what the reporter had to day about some catastrophe that has happened in New York.

'A zombie apocalypse has happened and we don't know what to do!' Says the reporter. 'Almost everyone here in New York City is infected and if we don't stop this than, within at least a month or so, all of America will be the same! And, within maybe five months to a year, the entire world will be like this! Please! Government send help!' She continues. Thomas' mom shuts off the TV and rolls her eyes.

"It's fake kids. Nothing like that happens in real life." She says as she walks out of the room. I will admit, I was a little creeped out by this but this couldn't have been true?

Could it?

"You scared Brayden?" Thomas laughs. I through a pillow at him and he stops. I roll my eyes and shake my head 'no' and he smirks. I scowl and my phone rings.

From: Mom
Are you going to come home or are you going to stay the night at Thomas'?

To: Mom
I think I will stay the night. Thomas' mom is fine with it as long as we don't break anything. :)

From: Mom
Okay. I was just checking. Goodnight sweety. Luv you! :)

To: Mom
Luv u 2! :)

I put my phone back into my pocket and sigh. I lay back on the couch as Sydni goes to grab blankets.
