Mr. Johnson was wrong, car riders were still entering the building as usual. I seen Micheal and asked him why he ignored my call, "You never called me", he said with a confused look on his face. "Oh, well okay then", I replied. Then we all went off to class. The teacher had a bandage on her arm that was bleeding. I asked what had happened and she just said she got "hurt" in a little incident last night. She told us to take our seats and said to us, "Hello class, I am Mrs. Mackenzie for all those who don't know." I just sat in my seat because she says this everyday and it just gets annoying because no new kids come in anymore, we are in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Then the teacher just collapsed, the whole class got up and tried to help her. Someone screamed "Someone go get the school nurse!" so that's exactly what I did but by the time we got back she was gone. The whole class was unconcious and she was gone. I started to get a little scared. Micheal started to wake up and make this ungodly groaning noise. He was drooling and I was trying to get him to stop making that noise but he just limped and screamed Raughhhhh with spit flying. The nurse made a huge mistake trying to help Micheal because he bit her. She collapsed, unconcious and I ran away as fast as I could. I could hear the rest of the class waking up and moaning and groaning. It really was scary. They started to limp down the hallway. I kept running and bumped into Mrs. Mackenzie with an Umpff the breath was knocked out of me from the impact and I fell to the ground dizzie and dazed. Whenever I finally caught my breath and balanced out, I caught Mrs. Mackenzie trying to bite my leg. I kicked her drooling jaw, got up and tried to run. I ran out the door, got back on the bus and tried desperatly to start it. It started and I drove trying to remember how to get back to my house. I am almost ready to drive and I cant remember the route to my house. Eventually after about 45 minutes I found my way home. It probably doesn't help that I was staring at my phone the whole time. I walked inside and yelled out for my mom. The only answer I got was groaning. "No, no dear god please no!" I whispered under my breath. She came out and sure enough, the groaning was her but it is because she was in pain, not because she was one of those, things. "What is the matter mom?" I asked. "My back is just hurting is all." she replied. I wasn't really paying attention to what she said though, I was just glad she wasn't one of those horrific things. I told her to take a pain reliever and just sit down to ease the pressure on her back. Sure enough, she took the pain pill and sat down for a little rest. She woke up about thirty or fourty minutes later. She told me to stay put at the house while she goes off to the store. "No! Let me go with you, please..." I insisted. We got in the car, and started it up. "Do you want to drive Kyle? It would be great practice." she asked. I really was to scared to drive so I just put my head down on the seat and tried to fall asleep. I woke up a few minutes later, probably like ten, and the car was surrounded with people. They were all drooling and moaning and groaning. All the ungodly sounds were torture to my ears. I hated it, I told my mom to drive. She said that its illegal to hit and run. I was still astonished at how quickly this virus spread through out this huge city. "Laws don't matter anymore mom!" I yelled at her "DRIVE!!!" She insited that we just honk the horn. I was forced to explain to her that these things are drawn by sound even though I wasn't really sure so honking the horn was not the smartest option. She eventually realized that I was being serious and agreed to drive over the walking drooling nightmares. The news described them as zombies but I wasn't ready to call them that just yet.
