Dani's POV:

I officially hate science. and zombies. and people. Well if you didn't already know my town has been infected with a zombie virus. Lucky for me and Cinnamon my dog we were not infected. Unlucky for us my parents were. Now I was taking my parents weird words to use. Bye going to Cosco. My dad said one night when he was watching a thing on how to survive if there ever was a zombie apocalypse that Cosco was the place to go. I never thought that my dad's words would be of use. So now I and my only bff in the world, Cinnamon, were going to Cosco, to be safe. I thought maybe I should tell other people to come with me to Cosco but then again thanks to Tori Heart(more like Tori has no Heart. I wonder if has no is her middle name) no one ever talks to me. Unless they need money or help in school. So this whole town could turn into zombies and eat each other's heads off. I really didn't care. Except for my parents. I would want them to live. I don't get how this happened. How did this town get infected with a zombie virus? Of coarse the greatest(and only) scientists in this town get infected with the virus. Yes my parents are scientists. Well, at least I knew one thing. The government was coming. In a month. But they were coming. With an antidote. So I'll stay in Cosco for a month. Then everything will go back to normal. Yay. and that kids was sarcasm. I hated this place. No one ever gives me respect. Even the new kids after a week or two get with everyone else that I'm, I don't know, not good enough. But at least for that week I have a new friend. But I guess they never really were my friend since they just dump me so easily. I mean everywhere else outside of this town I get treated equal; sometimes people treat me like my school treats Tori. But I'm not mean like she is. You know Tori and I used to be best friends. Yes we are that cliché. But then in 7th grade I guess she thought she was too cool to be hanging out with me. Then to add salt to my wound she started rumors about me. Saying I was strange, ugly, fat, fake. I knew I wasn't fat. Everything else though was hard to take. Then I guess she found out I didn't care being called fat and started calling me anorexic bitch. That was also hard. But by 10th grade it died down to just a whisper. Except for the few times she's tripped me during lunch. Her boyfriend, Greyson, I think,  is nice. He goes to my house for dinner because he's an intern at my parent's lab. He doesn't talk to me in school a lot, probably scared of Tori's wrath.

"Well we're her Cinnamon ", I said. Now I had to find a way in. That's when I saw a ladder. Now where does that lead I wondered with a smirk.

"Okay C, stay here while I find a way into this place" I said. Cinnamon sat. near the wall.(and yes I just called my dog C). I walked to the ladder and pulled it down. Then I climbed. After what felt like forever but was probably only 5 minutes I found a way in. Sorta. It was a window and I had no clue what it lead to. I Stuck my hand in feeling something...... soft.

"Well here goes nothing" I said looking down one last time to see Cinnamon still sitting near the wall. I jumped through and landed in what seemed to be paper towels. I knew enough about Cosco that the jump down was a bit long. But I did it and landed..... on my face. It hurt for a few seconds and I felt my face to know nothing was bleeding so I was good. Now to get my dog. I took a few steps and smacked into something hard.

"But first I must find a way to get these lights on" I said to myself. I fumbled around and found a switch. Which, lucky for me, was a light switch. It must've been for the whole building because all the lights went on. That's when I realized that hard thing I smacked into was a wall. Figures I thought. I ran to the front doors which had the keys to open them right next to it. I'm amazed you don't hear more about Cosco break in's I thought while unlocking the doors. Cinnamon saw me and walked in. I got the doors to close and we ran(more me than her) to the place where they keep the dog food. I opened it and found a container to put it in.

"Here Cinnamon I know you're hungry" I said. I sat next to her on the floor.

"Oh I sure hope this month goes by fast", I said, "Living in Cosco wasn't really on my plans for the future list". I laughed at my own stupid joke. Suddenly I heard the front doors open.

"What's that?" I whispered. I grabbed a Knife in case it was a zombie. I heard voices.

"Really? Cosco? Why not Walmart?" a girls voice said.

"Because Cosco has way more stuff in bulk and it was closer than Walmart" a boys voice said. You know I never even thought of Walmart. Then there footsteps got closer.

"Wait", the girl said," If there's no one in here than how was the front door opened and all of the lights are on?"

"Calm down Calli. It's not like there's a zombie in here they are probably too stupid to get the door opened. So worst comes to worst someone got here before us which isn't that bad" Cinnamon finished eating. I put the food in a place I would remember. When I turned around I collided with a really cute boy.
