I breathed in deeply, attempting to catch my breath, my eyes glancing around and Miranda looked at me as if I was insane.
          "Are you okay?!" She yells and shakes my shoulders.
         "Yea... Miranda... I just ran nine laps, and I'm tired." I mutter.
          "What if zombies were chasing you?!" She asks randomly.

"Right now?" She asks.
Zombies? I don't want to run at all, and I really really, don't want to run from zombies. I know one thing, if fast zombies were chasing me, I would be running like a freaking athlete.
       I think about me running like an athlete, and she elbows me. "Snap out of it!" She yells.

"Miranda zombies aren't real, the only possible way they can be real is if, someone got infected.." I trail off.

The virus, the news warning. The disappearance, the strange acting. The man this morning..
       Miranda's eyebrows scrunch up in confusion. "Chill." She says, touching my shoulder. I nod. She understood the virus's ways.

"What's going on?" She asks soon.
I look and notice the Coach staring at the class uncomfortable, and nervous? The coach had never been nervous. Well, just like teachers say, desperate times call for desperate measures. So I pulled out my phone and texted my best friend Olivia.

Me- Hey did the principal call you guys in too?

I place my phone back in my pocket, and it vibrates quickly. I take it out again and check the text message.

Olivia- yea... I know what happened, I was on my way to the class, alone and a girl took a bite right out of this boy's neck, I ran to get a teacher and when I came back the boy was having a seizure and the girl was gone.

I lean back, scared, and I jump when I feel Miranda breathing on my neck. "I'm about to freak out." She yells.
        "Miranda!" I whisper.
She shrugs, and her eyes widen, "I just said something about zombies too, and... There is a zombie in this school!" She whispers, she punches my shoulder.
       Ow." I mumble, scared. "Miranda.. this is not happening.." I whisper.

"We need a plan." Miranda mumbles.

Everything starts racing through my mind, my family, my mom, and my little sister Sammy. I had a lot of scared questions.
        A) Where were they? B) Safe or not? C) What would happen? D) Would our principal actually keep us safe?
         I sigh anxiously... "Miranda... We have to plan this out.." I whisper.

"Anyways.." She mumbles.
         "We need to pull together a group. A small one, with at least seven people... I know that's hard." I say.

"The only person I need is Kylia." She says, Kylia, one of our friends. Her twin brother also attended this school, two of the richest twins at the school.

"I need Olivia and Olivia can add more people.." I mumble chewing my bottom lip, in thought.

"Kylia, Olivia... Hunter." I say. When I said Hunter, Miranda shot me the dead eye. "Why?!" She asks.
       "He is nicer than he seems."

"He'll have cheerleaders clinging all over him," Miranda says.

She did have a point.

"Still Hunter, anyways, Jone and Rick, and Lucy. And that's it." She says noting a couple of students that attending zero or more of my classes.

"How are we gonna get them and then escape-"

"I barely even know how to drive a flipping car...!" I whisper.
