My Infected Life: Zombie Apocalypse

Just Another Day

"Wake up!! Another day, another start," said a familiar voice at the emd of the hallway. "We don't have all day people!!!"

I woke up yet again to the sound of my dad's early morning chant and the smell of my mother's cooking. I shimmied my way out of my comfortable purple and teal bedding and groaned as I stretched out my back.

After about 5 minutes, I shuffled out of my bedroom, almost zombie-like, and was greeted by the usual morning rush of the Johnson household.

"Morning sweet pea," my dad said as he gave me a light pat on the head with his light brown hand. "Hurry up! We have to be out the house in an hour."

"Okay."

When I turned the corner to head to the bathroom, I found it empty, which rarely ever happens. I grinned to myself as I turned on the shower and washed quickly. After about 20 minutes, I was completely dressed and was eating my breakfast. I didn't talk much because I was too focused on what will happen at school today.

I am the captain of the girls basketball team and today was tryouts. I couldn't wait to find some new talent for my team, especially since we are a winning team and it would be nice to have some new tricks every once in a while.

After I said good bye to my parents, I walked my little brothers to school and got a ride from my best friends. They were discussing over basketball plays and fundraisers when I strolled over to their car. When I arrived, they looked up and saw me and their faces turned very ecstatic, at least more than usual.

"Are you excited for tryouts," asked one of my BFF's, Ashlynn. She had
long brown hair tied up into a ponytail ,as usual, and has hazel eyes with the same color skin tone.
"Yeah. I cannot wait to get some new people, especially since Angelica left."
Angelica was my bully all throughout middle school and acted like a whore with her short skirts and tight tank tops which showed off her breasts. She always acted like a stripper in front of the boys. I usually don't talk about someone behind their back, but frankly, this girl deserves it. And to make my life- and everyone else's- worst, she was very good at basketball, and we had to put her on the team, especially since her dad was the coach. Her parents finally transferred her to a boarding school in England. Thank the Lord she's gone, but my wishes go out to the other people in England who have to deal with her.

"Yeah, nobody liked that girl," said my other BFF, Sarah. She had brown hair with golden highlights, blue eyes, and tan colored skin.
"I agree," Ashlynn and I said in unison, as Ashlynn started the car.
"On another note," Sarah said changing the topic and her face hardening. "Did you guys see the news this morning?"
"No," said Ashlynn and I in unison again.
"What happened," I asked curiously.
"Well, on channel 7, these reporters were talking about how some people in Nutley, New Jersey were infected with some type of virus where they seemed to have no brain function and seemed to be brain dead. They also said some went as far as attacking the closest people near them."
"What kind of virus do they think it was?"
"I dunno. They said it was an unknown virus, as if it just appeared out of nowhere."
"That's just crazy," I whispered to myself.
"Come on, guys. It is just a news report. We don't even know what the heck the cause of it is yet. You guys worry way too much," said Ashlynn. "Besides," continued Ashlynn, "this occurred in NEW JERSEY. There is no need to worry."
"Yeah, maybe you're right. We do tend to worry a little bit more than we need to," said Sarah.
"Well," I said as we pulled into the parking lot, "let's get to the gym before we are late for the tryouts ourselves."
"Okay," exclaimed my BFF's together.
