The Apocalypse

I walked to the front of the classroom. My heart was racing. I had to tell facts about Antonio Vivaldi, who I knew absolutely nothing about. I was about to speak, but then someone knocked on the glass next to the door. She looked familiar.

“Who’s that?” I said pointing to the door. Everyone turned around. That was when I realized who it was. It was my friend. It was Faith. But at the same time, it wasn’t. Her skin was a greenish pale and looked to be decaying and bloodied. And with her now bony fingers, she broke through the glass. Everyone screamed and ran to the other side of the room. But she was inside already, it was no use. I knew what was happening. It was the start of a new era, a zombie revolution, the apocalypse.

We were all huddled in the far corner of room 109, but she was inching closer with every step. That was when I got an idea. There was a window! I opened the latch and jumped out and everyone did the same. We ran to the front of the building and back inside.

“Okay! What was that!?” Mr. Wilkey said trying to catch his breath.

“I think it was a zombie.” John said.

“Oh I’m sorry I thought it was a unicorn!” I said sarcastically.

Two more zombies burst through the front doors. Everyone instinctively ran, but all in different directions. I was running towards the band room. I ran in there panting, trying to talk but no words coming out.

“Woah, woah, what’s going on?” Mr. Smith asked.

I finally caught my breath and said “zombies…coming…run!”

“That’s nice. Now go back to yo-“

With that, a zombie broke through one of the band room windows. Everyone jumped and started screaming. I ran over to Meredith.

“Mere, you’ve gotta help me!” I said.

“With what?” She replied.

“Go to the main office and warn every one about this over the loud speaker. I’ll run over to the high school and do the same.”

“What about the elementary school?”

“They already know”

“Okay”

Me and Meredith ran out of the band room and stopped at the main office.

“Go” She said.

I nodded my head and kept running while she walked into the main office.

Meredith’s POV

I walked into the main office. It was unnaturally quiet and empty. I walked over to the microphone.

“Attention everyone! Zombies are approaching! Run for your lives!”

And with that I followed my own instructions and ran out of the building. As soon as I was outside, I saw Chloe run into the high school.

Chloe’s POV

I ran out the doors, across the parking lot, into the high school, and found the main office. Apparently, the high school hadn’t been hit yet.

“Who are you?” A man said.

I’m guessing he was the principal.

“I need to warn the high schoolers!”

“Warn them about what?” he said in a stern voice.

I showed him to the window and he saw the zombies slowly making their way to the high school.

Robert’s POV

I was sitting in my seat, (hating math, what else?) when I heard the loud speaker click on. I expected to hear Mr. Friedmann‘s voice, but instead I heard:

“ATTENTION EVERYONE! THIS IS CHLOE SILVERTON! THERE IS A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE APPROACHING! I REPEAT! THERE IS A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE APPROACHING! YOU NEED TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING RIGHT NOW IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE!”

Then I heard a deep growl and Chloe screamed. The loud speaker clicked off. Not only was a zombie apocalypse coming, but one was attacking Chloe.

Chloe’s POV

I was about to click the loud speaker off when the door burst open and I heard a loud deep groan. I turned around to see Mr. Friedmann in the same condition as I had seen Faith. I screamed and he tried to grab me. I ducked and he hit the microphone instead, making it click off. I ran out of the office but ran into something and fell down. Thinking it was a zombie, I climbed on top of it, ready to punch it in the face. That was when I realized that it was Robert.

“Oh my god. Robert. I’m so sorry. I thought you were one of them.”

“Well I’m not. But are you okay? I heard the growl and the scream and-“

“I’m fine. But I think its still gonna come after me, so we gotta run.”

“Where do we run to?”

“We have to find Meredith.”

“Oh my god. Is she okay?”

“I hope so. I told her to warn the middle school.”

“Okay. I hope shes okay.”

“Me too.”

“Wait... wha-“

Robert was interrupted by a low growl. We turned around and saw Mr. Friedmann. We screamed and started running. After about twenty two steps, I tripped over a textbook. It was about to grab my leg as I screamed in terror. Luckily, Robert grabbed my wrist and helped me up. We started running again, but he didn’t let go of my wrist so I wouldn’t fall again.

We ran out the doors and Meredith bumped into us.

“OMG. Youre okay!” we said at the same time.

“Guys ,we have to keep running or they’ll catch up to us!” Robert said.

“He’s right” I said.

“Okay, but where do we go?” Meredith said.

“This way” I said running away from the school.

We were almost off the school grounds when we heard a scream for help. I looked. It was Joe. He was on a high ledge with zombies all surrounding it.
