"Oh, man. Why can't we be at home watching so you think you can fly? Eating a triple meat lovers pizza, extra meat?" Benny ask whiningly making me roll my eyes.
Our teachers where mer minutes away from breaking in and eating our brains and all he could think about was awful television and pizza.
"Yeah, instead, our teachers could bash in at any second and scoop out our brains like chip dip," Ethan exclaimed, fear clearly evident in his voice.
"Oh, think we could outrun them?" Benny blurts out and I can't help but wonder how this man was considered one of the more intelligent ones at this school.
"I don't have to outrun them. I just have to outrun you." Bennys face drops as the words slip out of Ethan's mouth, "you know, I think they'd go for your brain first there honor roll."
I couldn't take they're bickering anymore, "Well neither of you are outrunning me so for both of your sakes shut up and let's think of something else!" I must of yelled because several bangs came from the door as the zombies fought harder to get to us.
I jerked my head towards the sound and a unwelcome feeling of fright flashed through me.
I didn't even notice until I felt Bennys shoulder collide with mine that I had subconsciously moved closer to him and as another loud bang clashed against the door I resisted the urge to grab ahold of his hand, fisting the fabric of my jeans instead to try and calm myself.
After a short awkward moment of silence Benny turns to me with urgency, "Daphne, you're a hunter." I scrunch my face up in confusion, "yeah, so?" Benny motions towards the zombies and I can feel the anger already rising in me from what I'm sure he's about to say.
"Well... go hunt."
"Spoiler alert, they'd eat me!" I shout scooting away from him but before I can get to far he grabs me as quickly as he can and wraps his arms around me bringing me closer and clamping his hand over my mouth.
My eyes go wide as I feel his breath against my ear, "you keep yelling and they're really going to eat us." My face heats up instantly. I can't believe I'm letting Benny of all people have this effect over me.
Ever since Erica's plan of me avoiding him seriously back fried I've been trying a new strategy... denial. It's been working about as well as you think it would, pretty damn badly.
Even after a couple seconds Bennys hand remains over my mouth and his chest firm against my back and all of a sudden the fear of getting to comfortable in his hold overrides that of the zombies and I act quickly without thinking.
"Ow!" Benny yells jerking his hand back. "You bit me!"
"You put your hand on my face!" I whisper yell instead not wanting him to get close to me again. "And who's being loud now?"
