The Last Day of School

Something Special

A blast of cold air came in with the girl. I slammed the door shut and locked it, seconds later the door was being banged on. The girls screamed, then Tyler scolded me, "Dude what the hell?! Why'd you let her in?!" "Because, she's just like us, plus she's horrified just look at her!" I yelled back as the girl stood close to me scared.

   After a bit of cooling down we asked the girl some questions. "My name is Melissa," she said. "I was out on the road and-" her explanation was interrupted when the door broke down and the Walkers barged in.

   "Oh shit!" We all ran in the only direction we could...up.  We ran quickly up the steps. I think Adam tripped on a couple of stairs but quickly got up. We all went in the last room in the hallway and locked the door. Tyler got the wooden chair the man used to hang himself and smashed open the window. The door was being pounded on and it was breaking. "Aw shit! Hurry up guys!" We carefully exited the window and landed on some kind of sunroof. One by one we jumped off onto the ground. Adam fell and landed hard onto the dirty ground; and Sabrina fell over as well and scraped her hands. I was the last one, I was looking for a spot to accurately land on but I heard the door break open. "Fuck." I just jumped off quickly but my leg got cut on a loose metallic wire, then I landed improperly. I groaned in pain as the dust hovered above me. It was still dark so I couldn't see very clearly. "John hurry up!" "Come on Johnny!" "Run man!" I heard my friends shouting at me, they were already in the Hummer and ready to go. I sort of limped and jogged at the same time.

   Lots of zombies were coming, some from the window and a few from the entrance. The back seat door was open and Adam had his arm out for me. I made it and grabbed his arm, then I boarded the vehicle to safety. Adam shut the door and the truck drove off.

   I sighed and closed my eyes. "Oh my god he's bleeding!" one of the girls said. I opened my eyes and saw my leg; I had a big cut on the side if my calf and a lot of blood was coming out. It stung A LOT.

   A moment later Jenny aided my wound with water and a clean rag. I thanked her and quickly noticed something. Wait, if Jenny and Adam are right here, than who's driving? I looked up and saw Tyler in the driver's seat. Tyler? He sucks at driving! Hopefully he doesn't kill us.

   Suddenly I noticed something else, the girl. What was her name again? Melissa? I looked around and saw her in the corner of the truck, she was very scared. I was going to move over to talk to her but my injury kept me from doing that. It didn't hurt as much as it did before, but it still hurt.

   With an additional member to our teenage zombie-killing group now the truck is even more cramped. Then out of nowhere Adam introduced himself to Melissa. "Hey I'm Adam, you're Melissa right?" She nodded and said yes.

   They seemed to get along well. I closed my eyes and started to fall asleep...but then the car swerved uncontrollably. I looked up and all that we heard was Tyler's voice, "Oh shit!" Then the truck crashed into a large tree and nearly flipped over.

   All windows were broken and the doors were destroyed. Our packs and belongings were scattered all over. My vision was blurry, all I heard now were some coughs and groans.

   "Everyone...get out...it's...gonna blow..." We all smelled gas, and the first thing that went through my head was GET OUT OR DIE! I crawled out of the truck and so did the others. We ran but that's when the truck exploded violently, I felt the burning air lift me off the ground and throw me hard toward a tree. Shards of glass and metal shot in different directions. I groaned but didn't even hear it, all I heard was this loud ringing in my ears.

   Minutes later I struggled to get up, then I helped up some of my friends. We were catching our breath as we watched our truck blaze with flames. All of us were a mess, we were all injured too. Scratches, bruises, and cuts. Our clothes were slightly torn apart and our bodies ached. "Ouch."
