Honestly..... The Apocalypse was probably the best thing to happen to the human race. Now when i put it that way it makes sound like I'm a douche, but I say this because it has taught people to work together again, not fight with eachother about who's better than who, because without both there is no surviving. So you tell me, other than alive where would the human race be without the Apocalypse? People have there own stories, but I'm going to tell you mine, to show that without one, There is no other.
So I was in my 2nd period class with my best friend chase, now let me tell you something. Chase... he's unique, if you will. He for sure has a personality, and that personality prevented me from being the start of the end of humans. Anyways we were in our robotics class. We were building our Bots to pull a 25lb metal trailer. Now we worked hard In this class so it was usually silent unless someone asked for an Allamn wrench. So there was banging on the door, well that seems normal especially in a high school, you know some immature kid walking by and hitting the door, but this never happened in that part of the school, so of course My teacher, Mr. Gallegos picked me of all people to go to the door and answer it. So I did it, no questions asked. I opened the door and was tackled to the ground immediately and I'm lying there yelling get off me to the kid outside the door because this random guy that I don't even know is on me trying to bite me.
So here comes Chase and kicks the dude in the face, the guy gets up and comes at me again, No know one knew what was happening at the moment maybe a fight? Or just some weird kid? No one knew So chase is sitting there basically wrestling the guy and this kid Dominic gets in the fight and ends up getting bit, right in the neck, so at this point zombie becoming a sane option to assume, this guy just bit someone in the neck, so Dominic was just lying there choking on his own blood, I'm trying to help him and Chase come out of no where with an axel and shoves it right through the "zombie's" head. The guy fell straight to the ground. So here we are two dead student in the class room one with half his neck missing and the other with an axel lodged in his skull. What is the school administrator going to think when she see this.
Our teacher is hiding in the back of the class scared out of his mind so we have one of our only girl student in the class Janell calm him down. Know one knew what had just happened. We're all thinking Zombies now because how else do you explain pure white, bloodshot eyes, overly vicious and biting people? Just to our luck over the intercom we hear "Students and staff of Ridgewood High School is officially shutdown due to an unknown attack on the school. Stay calm and be safe." I'm sitting there thinking how is an attack on a school unknown? Mark, my other best friend decides to look up on the news what is going on, of course all phone services were shut down and on the screen of his phone had said Marshal law has been declared in East coast United States. Everyone is screaming and panicking after I read it aloud to the class, so what I do is get Mark and Chase and leave what else is there to do? Not like anyone can stop us. Its marshal law.
Now if this is a Zombie apocalypse then we need to be able to defend ourselves So we search the classroom for axels and we grind them down to a sharp point in the grinder room, Usually used to make the Allamn wrench usable again. We head out side with a set of 5 axels each that were grinded we go around the school in search of or other friends and sure enough as we enter the main building and everyone is in a panic and there's already hundreds of people on the floor half dead so we knew that this is very serious. I tell Mark and Chase to split up in search for out friends, and specific orders to kill anyone who threatens us or our friends. I know this sounds cruel and bad to do, but people are desperate and scared to the point that they will do anything to survive. So I'm heading to the second floor to find my friend Justin and his girlfriend Rosie, as I'm taking my last step to get there I see someone get tossed over the balcony and this guy sees me and the first thing he does is charge at me, im sure the reason he did this is because I just witnessed him throwing an innocent Girl off the second floor, I warned him not to charge or he'll be sorry. Go figure the moron didn't listen and so I drove the head of the axel right through him he looked at me with disbelief. I felt really bad about it but its about survival now. I finally found Justin in his class still holding off a Zombie trying to attack Rosie I come up behind him shove him out of my way and piledrived the axel through the side of the zombies head saving Rosie from becoming the next victim. Justin gazing at me asks "what is going on and why are people attacking others," I grabbed him and Rosie and explained everything to them, as we head out side we meet Chase and Mark with our friend Cyrus. No one else made it. Most everyone in the school is dead and more are dying every minute.
