❝ they're starting to get on my nerves
with the growling. ❞

BAILEY WAS SKATEBOARDING DOWN THE HALLS, while the others were doing their own thing. Everyone was bored, after spending hours securing areas and building weapons.

Harlow allowed them to use the daggers and tape or screw them to other attachments and onto a makeshift spear, wrench, etc.

Bailey took their turns through the halls and made it into the cafeteria, swerving each table and coming around by Bryan, who was struggling with the tape getting stuck to itself,

He finally let out a groan, "They're starting to get on my nerves with the growling." He said gesturing all up to the next level riddled with walkers, bailey stepped on their speed and did a t-pose around him again,

"Well, why don't you fix up your weapon and I'll let you handle it." They said simply, he seemed to freeze at that, he couldn't even wrap his weapon right,

"Really?" He asked, bailey stopped, picked up their board and moved to sit down next to him chuckling,

"No, of course not," they started and took his weapon from his quivering hands, "You can't even make a- uh-" Bailey tilted their head and turned to look at Bryan,

"What is this?"

Bryan was offended and took the thing from bailey, "It's a combination between a various amount of tools," He then twirled the weapon around, "See, it has the wrench, for weight added, the two screw drivers on each side of the dagger for more power, and, well the mop stick to hold it."

Bailey hummed, "Not bad, but not good either," they started and then gestured their hands for the weapon, which Bryan gave, "You have the tape at the wrong level, and you don't have grip added." Bryan watched as bailey fix up his weapon.

"Here, good as new." Bailey smiled as they gave him the weapon back, Bryan fixed his hair before smiling back wide and taking it carefully,

"Thanks." He said, they just nodded, after a moment bailey sighed and started to look around getting confused,

"Where are Kendall and Harlow?" They asked, Bryan stopped admiring his weapon and put it on the table lightly,

"Uh, well Harlow was trying to break the front doors last I heard," he started, bailey nodded, "And then Kendall went to the bathroom not long ago."

"Alright, well I'm gonna go check on Harlow." Bryan nodded, they patted him on the shoulder before leaving with their skateboard and weapon in hand before turning out of the cafeteria,

They walked before taking in the scenery all around them, some of the walls were splattered on with blood, the floors were the same.

When walking they came back around the door where it all began, tracing their eyes all around the blood trails that were left,

"-C'mon man, this is a serious situation and you find it the time to be funny." Bailey says and the guy just nods, then before anyone could say anything else, the door near him made a banging noise.

All of them turned to it, as he walked hesitantly to it and leaned his ear to and then another bang making him jolt back, coach then came out of the class- as he was asleep and didn't hear the teens leave,

"Hey, what are you guys doing out? we have strict orders on staying inside the class." He said and as everyone was paying attention to him, they didn't notice the door banged one final time and busted open and came out one of the janitors of the school,

They turned and headed for the guys arm and bit him, tearing off his skin, he screamed and was able to get away but screamed more in pain, the janitor then grabbed another and bit them, then another- as everyone ran scattering around the floor or going up to the next.

Harlow grabbed baileys hand and pulled them to a classroom, where two other students were. She then closed the door and locked it as she pushed Bailey in.

That simple engagement changed them, all four of them, bailey was snapped out of their thoughts when a hand was placed on their shoulder,

"You alright?" Kendall asked, bailey swallowed, nodding,

"Yeah, yeah I'm alright," They said, Kendall noticed the uncertainty in their voice but then bailey cleared their throat and turned, "You?" They asked, Kendall nodded back,

"I'm good," She started and then grew confused, "Where you headed off to?" Bailey gestured down the hall where another turn was leading to the front doors,

"To check on Harlow, wanna come?" They asked, Kendall nodded, they smiled and headed down to where Harlow was hold up,

When getting closer to the doors they seen Harlow struggling with opening it,

"Hey, made any progress?" Kendall asked as they jogged up to her and settled their things on the ground, Harlow huffed,

"Not the good type," She started and then bent down to get her weapon and pushing the door slightly open, "See that?" She asked, the two nodded, "Yeah, it's military, so anything we have is pretty much cheap against this." Harlow finished and then closed the door.

"So, let's squeeze through it." Kendall suggested, Harlow gave her a look,

"We wouldn't be able to even if we tried," She started, "Since it's military ware, those chains are built to withstand any type of elongations, so even if we could we'd break a few bones in the process." Bailey and Kendall nodded in understanding,

"Okay, let's not do that then." They said, then sighed looking around, "We can try and get to the next floors?" Bailey suggested,

"Are you crazy?" Harlow asked, as if bailey was insane for this, they shrugged,

"Well, it would get us access to the roof and then we build a ladder from there," Bailey started matter of fact, "It won't be that hard." They finished in a nonchalant voice, Kendall and Harlow both narrowed their eyes at them,

"You're forgetting about the 'walkers in the way' part." Kendall said, bailey rolled their eyes and put their hands in pockets of their pants,

"I know that, but we could get out of here," They said, but when seeing the faces of the girls in front of them they sighed, "Alright, how about we leave that as a last resort plan, huh?" The girls took that into consideration before nodding,

They nodded back in acknowledgment, "Alright." Bailey sighed out,

"Well, then how else would we get out?" Bryan asked, they all turned to look at him, then to each other, bailey now had their arms crossed, when noticing eyes on them, they slightly clenched their jaw and undid their arms moving forward,

"Okay-" Bailey started and they all listened in on what they were thinking, hopefully whatever they came up with would work,

and not get them killed.
