Spy School Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 1

I'm not going to be writing a prologue in this book because I don't know what to write for it, so I'll be jumping straight in. Also, I wanted to say I just got my second dose for the Covid-19 vaccine and I caught a fever, so I forgive me if there are a few mistakes. I'm not at my best right now. Enjoy!

Btw, I'm going to try doing to whole book in Ben's POV like in the original books. If I have to do something in someone else's POV (which I will be trying to avoid), I'll write their name in bold.

"Oof!"

I was currently in my Self-Defense class and the teacher, Professor Simon, had put us into pairs. The goal was to get your opponent on the ground and keep them there for three seconds while keeping on the fighting mat.

"So much for you, Riply." My opponent sneered. She was the same age as me, but she was short and small. Even thought we've been in the same class for 2 years, I barely knew her. I thought she would be timid and scared during the fight, instead she was fierce and packed a mean punch. Guess I should pay more attention during class.

The girl jumped on top of me and held me down. I couldn't get up and my vision was getting dizzy because she was crushing my windpipe with her small fingers. Professor Simon counted to three and order her to let me go.

She leapt off and smirked at me, then she walked over to her friends on the side of the classroom, who laughed and HI-5'd her. I shook my head a little bit to try to get my senses back.

I finally picked myself you and walked back to my desk to get a drink of water.

"That was pathetic Riply, you get a D grade." Professor Simon said in front of the entire class, causing them to laugh.

I sighed and sat down, this was going to be a long class.

An hour later, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of class.

I knew exactly what time it was: 1.30, lunch time.

I grabbed my bag and stepped out of the classroom, heading to the mess hall, or as the students here called it, the 'Mess'.

As I was walking I bumped into Mike and Trixie. After we came back from Operation Deadly Manatee, (lousy name by the way) Trixie got admitted into the academy because both Alexander and Catherine agreed that it was the safest option for her once she found out about the family secret. They called Cyrus and he made it happen, so here she was. 

Mike and Trixie hit it off and now they were a couple, Erica and Cyrus didn't approve of their relationship. 

"Whoa, Ben, what happened to your face?" asked Mike and Trixie at the same time, both of them concerned. 

"Do I really look that bad?"

Trixie brought out a makeup mirror out of her pocket and let me see my face.

I got my answer rather quickly, I had a black eye and a few bruises.

"What happened to you?" Mike asked.

I sighed, "Nothing much, just got beat up in my Self-Defense class after Professor Simon paired us up."

Mike wrinkled his nose, "Never liked her much."

We walked to the mess hall and got our food from the lunch ladies, then, we sat at our usual table for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Calling the slop here 'food', was being generous. Today, they were serving meatloaf, instead, if looked more like a dirty sponge on a plate, it tasted even worse. The administration says that they serve us this food to build up our immune system against poison in case we accidentally ingested it, or if an enemy was trying to kill us by slipping deadly chemicals in our food or drinks. But, half the students here suspected that the professors just liked seeing us choke down our food while they ate steak and pizza.
