I put on my plain grey pants and t-shirt. My medium brown straight hair transforms into a mix of a ballerina and messy bun. I adjust my black Nike sports bra till I'm comfortable. My name is Isabelle LeVine, but my friends call me Izzy. I am what you call a "sensitive 16 year old". I guess they're right, I am pretty sensitive, but people like to mistake that for my kindness. After I finish getting dressed, I head straight to the kitchen to greet my mom. For my dad, well, I never really met the guy, mom says he's a total idiot, so I guess I'm glad. "Hello my little angel!" I hate it when mom calls me that, but today's an exception. "Hi mom"
"I just wanted to let you know, I gotta run to the store, I'll be about an hour."
"Sounds good."
"I love you, see you in a bit, goodbye darling!" She shouts as she makes her way to the door. I heard a click, meaning the door was closed and locked. I walk over to the couch and turn on the tv. The channel: Global news. Guessing my mom was watching that last. The setting the news anchor is in looks like a town close to mine, except torn completely apart. Houses burning. People screaming at the top of their lungs. The anchor informs; Please remain indoors. This is not a test. Grab all the weapons in your house and hide. There is a deadly virus. People eating people. I repeat: This is not a test.
