Hi! It's been so long since I've written here ( at least it feels like forever to me), at least a week! So I've been grounded since last Thursday ( today's 9/21/13) because of my horrible luck. The Wenesday before last Thursday- I went to bed and stayed up to write on this on the wii, I got caught and got the wii taken away. Thursday: I woke up in a bad mood and decided to skip school, I pretend to leave and wait outside for my mom to leave. I go inside and I go on the laptop to write here, I sit in my closet, i forget to look at the time, my mom comes home and decides to snoop in my room, she catches me, tells me to get the **** to school, I leave, the gears on my bike brake, I hide and wait for my mom to leave, then I realize I left my keys inside, I go to the front office and leave my bike plus bag right next to the door, i go in and watch 4 hours of tv, I walk out 20 minuets before the middle school bus gets here, I I realize my bike and bag was stolen, I go inside and tell the office people, I leave to walk with my middle school friends, when I see them and walk up to them, I burst out crying, and they ask what's wrong, I tell them, we walk home, they go inside, I go to my friend angels home, we hang out, I go home at 7:00, my parents aren't home but at the gym, my crying sister lets me in, I ask what's wrong, she tells me that when you give blood they test for deseise and that they sent a letter saying she has STD's, I hug her and comfort her, then my parents get home, I get grounded, and that pretty much sums it up. Well actually we get told the next day 'oh srry, we made a mstake. She doesn't have STD's'. So enough I that, TO THE STORY!!!!

Chapter 2

          Science is one of my best subjects. But taking notes is too easy and boring. Ms. Burhrings voice droned on. Yawning, I wondered what time we'd get out. The clock ticked and I took notes-' ribosomes make proteins; the nucleus contains DNA; chloride is green' and so forth. Suddenly, just as ms. Buring was explaining ATP, the phone rang.

          Quickly crossing the room, ms. Burhrings bulky figure leaned over the desk and picked up the phone, "Ms. Burhrings room, how may I help you? Mhm yeah, shes here. Send her up? Okay" she puts the phone down. "Katie you need to report to the office. Your father called, family emergency".

          Family what? In shock I grabbed my bag and got up. I felt the eyes of the whole class on me as i left( I'm home bye!k it's the next day. I'll finish writing). I wondered if it was my grandmother again, she's been having a lot of stress lately, and has been to the doctors more than once about her stress level.

          As the door shut behind me, I wondered if I'd get to go home. Selfish I know, but I wasent looking forward to English this afternoon. It wasent my best subject, and the teacher was a bitch.

          The hot sun beat upon my head, having dark hair was beautiful yet a pain. I sighed as I stepped in the cool office. Sighing I closed my eyes. I opened them to get a drink of water by the fountain.

          As I walked to the desk I noticed the lady was on the phone. I coughed and waited. She flipped her blond hair while she talked on the phone, " Yeah uh huh. No no course not! Yeah sure! Okay sweetie, bye! Have a nice day!" She prompley hung up the phone and gave me a dirty look. What? Did I smell? Was there an elephant on my head? She pointed to the phone "line 6 honey. And don't take so long". Ooooooh snappy.

          I picked up the phone and pressed 6 "Dad? You called? I was in the middle of science!" I wasent mad I was just teasing. But my playful mood turned to horror when I heard what he said

"KATIE! YOU MUST GET HOME NOW! It's .. It's..." I heard screaming in the background " ITS HERE! THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND IT GOT LOOSE!"

I assumed my face was as pale as snow "dad? Dad! Your not making sense! What's here what's got'n loose?!!"

I heard more screams and labored breathing "dad?"

" Doomsday. Judgement day. The apocalypse! Whatever you want to call it! The virus has gotten loose!" I held my breath "you have to get home! You must forget about your sister! You and only you can do this! Leave school! I will text you the rest of the instructions!"

I sobbed "dad!...... Is this for real?........."

I heard static " dad?..." I sounded so pitiful.

"I love you"then he hung up.

          I stared at the phone. Suddenly I realized that the lady behind the desk had been listening intently to my conversation. She looked innocently up at me "Good news?". I have no idea how I kept myself from strangling her. I think I might have killed her right then and there!

          Giving her the worst look I could muster up I left.

**********************************************************************************************************

          I stood outside completely confused. What the fuck just happened? Did I really just have that conversation? Was my dad insane, or was I? Even if my dad was crazy I knew that I just HAD to get home. But the school wasen't just gonna let me leave. I was gonna have to sneak home.

          Planning an escape route wouldn't be easy considering they had the school on lockdown. I'd have jump a fence or something. I thought that maybe I could go around the back of the school and hop the brick wall next to the soccer field.

          What da fuck is going on?!!
