The Chicken Zombies

Chapter 2-- Cliffhanger, Much?

The students all raced after poor Dante, but Shakira got there first. She tried to distract the sophomores before they reached Dante, by leading them onto the football field. But it only lasted about thirty seconds before they swarmed Dante in her vehicle of choice: an old red SUV.

"Shakira!" Dante called to Shakira. "I got it! Get in!"

Shakira ran towards the car but Abi grabbed her leg. Shakira tried shaking her off, kicking her, and even distracting her by reciting the deaths of her favorite fictional characters. Just as she started to tell about Augustus Waters dying of cancer, she realized it was hopeless. Abi acted like she couldn't even hear her.

"Shakira!" Dante screamed. "Come on! We don't have much time!"

Then, a miracle happened. Dolph, a random boy who just so happened to look like a super-hot teenage version of George Clooney, pulled Abi off of Shakira's leg. "Go!" he said.

And she did.

Shakira flung herself into the car, locked the door, buckled her seatbelt (safety first), and slammed on the gas. Dante screamed as Shakira pulled out of the JAC parking lot and swerved left, taking them out into the countryside.

"I thought you said you had your license!" Dante screamed.

"I do!" Shakira responded. "But had I missed one more question, I would have failed!"

Shakira sped miles away from Jimville before slowing down even the slightest bit. Finally, she said, "Dante, how are we so untalented that we couldn't even win a Buzzfeed personality quiz competition? I mean, I take those all the time. Even Patricia Baywinkle won before we did!"

Dante looked at Shakira in awe and said, "That's what you're thinking about right now? I'm thinking about how our classmates were turned into mindless zombies by the city's worst supervillain! I, for one, actually have my priorities in che-Hey, is this 'High Hopes'? I'm turning this up!"

"So," Shakira said. "Where should we go to hide out from our zombified peers and Ronaldo Rosenpinis?"

"I dunno... Ooh, go to Papa John's! I'm craving some pizza!"

"I'm honestly too scared to eat after seeing our classmates like that... But sure, I'll eat some pizza."

So then, Shakira drove to a neighboring city and they ate some pizza.

"Aren't you kids supposed to be in school right now?" said the waitress. She had a southern accent.

"Yes," Shakira said, quoting her favorite show of all time: Phineas and Ferb. "Yes we are."

"Well alright," said the waitress without asking any further questions. She left with their orders.

Dante then said, "Okay, Shakira. How the heck are we supposed to save our classmates from being zombified forever? I have some ideas, Number One being that we dump water on them. But do you have any?"

"Nah, we can try yours."

"Alright. Now let's eat some pizza and save the world!" Dante held out her hand for a high five, but Shakira ran a hand through her hair. Dante slowly lowered her hand. Must Shakira always do this? Dante thought to herself.
