Death Is Upon Us

Prologue

Hi, I am Alfie. I'm 16 years of age. At my old school I had loads of friends, but sadly I had to move houses because we were too far away from family. I agree that it would be nicer to see my family more often, but I would also like to keep all of my friends. I am still in contact with my friends because I haven't made many friends at my new school. In fact, I get bullied. It's not too bad because I can deal with it, but its still bullying I guess. Anyway, around the corner from my new house is my best friend, Sara. Sara and I grew up together and this is the only time that we have been apart for so long. Sometimes, our other friends go around to her house, their names are Kian, Connor, Sinead and Kaci.

This book is all about how I survived the zombie apocalypse. Me... a 16 year old boy that was bullied.

It was the start of my exams, we walked into the hall to see hundreds of desks and chairs. We all lined up at the front to wait for or designated seats.

"Okay, Alfie. Sit here..." The teacher demanded.

I flung my bag over the chair.

"Nope, bags at the front, you could be cheating." She demanded once again.

I stared at the teacher.

"Well hurry up!" She yelled.

I threw my bag to the front of the class.

"Drop the attitude!" She demanded.

"Oh! badman!" Luke shouted.

"Shut up!" I demanded.

"Both of you shut up! This is an exam, this is your first and last warning... Do you understand?" The woman yelled.

"Yep..." We replied.

I couldn't care less about the exam. I chose something that I would enjoy doing and they told me that there wasn't enough space in the class so they put me in this class... Sociology.

Half way though the exam, I started to feel a strange kick on the back of the chair. I turned my head to see what it was... It was Luke kicking it.

"Eyes to the front!" The teacher shouted.

After a few seconds, he started kicking my chair again.

"Can you stop!" I demanded.

"Are you ill or something? Do you have a problem?" I asked.

"Right that's it! Detention!" She shouted.

Our teacher walked up to me and ripped my exam sheet in half.

"He was kicking my chair... Why would I get in trouble for that?" I asked.

"Fine, you can both go to detention!" She yelled.

I walked to front to collect my bag.

"Walk out the back way!" She demanded.

"I am getting my bag!" I stropped.

I picked up my bag and put it over my shoulder. I then walked up to detention with Luke closely following me. He started to speed up.

"Don't even think about it..." I shouted.

We walked into the detention room.

"Name!" She demanded.

I looked at her.

"Name!" She demanded.

"Alfie..." I replied.

"What are you looking at? Have you got a problem young man? Do you want to ask me something?" The woman rudely asked.

"Yes, I have got a question actually." I replied.

"And what is that question?" She asked.

"Name?" I joked rudely.

I walked into the room to see my friend in there, Francesca.

"Why you in here?" I asked.

"Well apparently I was chewing gum... but I don't even like gum..." She replied.

"I'll be back in a second, no trouble whilst I'm gone, especially you!" The rude woman said pointing at me.

She closed the door and locked it.

Around 10 minutes later, the fire bell went off.

"Probably just a drill..." I said to Francesca.

"I'd like to put a drill in your head..." Luke joked.

"Right back at ya!" I replied.

The whole school walked past the window screaming and shouting, just like a normal fire drill. All of a sudden, the kid that I had never seen lie before scream something about zombies chasing him. I looked at Francesca and gulped.
