Falling apart

Zombie fact
According to zombie lore, the only way to kill a zombie is to cut it's head.

" Cady! get into the car this very minute! It's getting late! And I can't face the principle again when he calls me saying you are late for the - For Pete's sake Cadence Rothfire!"

" Coming , coming " I muttered as I stuffed my phone in my pocket and got into the van.

I looked out the dew covered window as we drove down the street, passing the houses in my neighbourhood. All the houses are the same- the pale peach with red tiles. I looked at each one of them focusing on what made them different , but no everything was just the exact same thing. I started feeling dizzy.
This is what I did every day - got in the van, admired the replica of each house and felt dizzy. It's like a regular thing and it's boring, and I like feeling bored...It felt calming.
When I reached school it was crowded, like usual. Although my eyes searched for only one girl. I have only one friend in the entire school .
Hard to believe? Well yea, tells you what kind of person I am.

I got my books out of my locker when,

"Hi Cady! "

I turned around to find Lilly jogging towards me.
Lily's Indian. Her long dark braid swished from side to side as she made her way to me. Almost immediately she began.

" Did you finish that worksheet that was assigned in math? I didn't do the fourth one though and -"

Lily is what one would call ignorant. She just has to know everything that happens, starting from the birth of a planet to who were the last couple who broke up in school. When I tell her to chill and to take it easy, she would whine,

"But I have to keep up with my reputation!"

All the teachers love her.

*Sigh*

My eyes fluttered open .
"No".
I closed my eyes again hoping to continue the memory but it had disappeared. I noticed the changes around me. I was tucked into a warm and comfortable bed and my leg -bandaged-stuck out at the end of the bed. I groaned as I lifted myself up, when the door opened.
My brain registered the two people who had entered. They settled on the tiny stools and looked at me. Out of the two of them the one with stormy grey eyes caught me. His dark hair fell on his eyes as he studied me, and naturally my hands got all sweaty, so I looked at the lady .
After what seemed like forever she smiled

"How do you feel now?"

I nodded slightly.

" I am sorry we didn't do much, but we tried our best, all that remains is only us anyway".

She handed the gray tray of food that she had bought with her, to me. I grabbed it and stuffed the bread into my mouth hungrily. It was indecent, but I couldn't really help it, even with a irresistible boy in front of me.

"What's happening? How did I end up here?" I asked when I finished one.

The lady just smiled.

"Ah, that is the the question we were intending to ask you".
