1 Year Pre-Z
It was my senior year of high school. I wasn't popular. I wasn't a loser. I was kind of in the middle. I had friends from the nerds group and friends from the popular group but the one person I was the closest to was my girlfriend Vic short for Victoria. She was everything a guy wanted smart, funny, hot and always there for you. We had been dating for about three years when suddenly everything changed.
She started making excuses so she didn't have to go out with me. Then on the week before prom I caught her and my best friend Frankie kissing on the stairs. When I saw them something inside me broke I was heartbroken and angry but most of all I felt betrayed. Something snapped and I punched Frankie in the face. I got detention for a whole month. It was worth it.
One Friday afternoon my phone started ringing detention. The detention teacher Mr Moore's was out getting his coffee and he is really slow, so I looked at the caller id and saw it was Frankie. I answered and said "Frankie. What the hell do you want you backstabbing douche?".
He responded "God I guess I deserve that but its Vic. There's something wrong with her. I need your help. Now".
I ended the call and decided to go because as much as I hate him and Vic right now he sound sincere and really scared.
I quickly snuck out of detention and ran all the way to the west hall stairwell. When I got there, there was a dragged trail of blood leading from the bottom of the staircase all the way to the top. I was a bit worried but thought it was probably just Frankie trying to get me back for punching him. I followed the trail of blood but when I got to the top I saw what looked like Vic eating Frankie's face and when I say eating, I mean eating his actual face.
I quickly ran over to Vic and pulled her off. She then jumped on me and started making these weird noises like she was a monster of some sort. She had blood dripping down her face and on her neck was a huge chunk taken from her neck just all exposed. I pushed with all my might and pushed her off. I then ran to the principal's office.
I quickly ran in and yelled "Vic is eating Frankie's face off".
He sarcastically laughed and replied "Look that's a funny joke but I am not in the mood for jokes today". I responded with "I am not lying. I can show you if you want".
He looked at me with a sort of weird look and said "alright young man show me where this so called face molestation is going on".
When I got to the stairs he saw the blood trail. He said "if this is a prank you are getting expelled". We walked to the top of the stairs but when we got there Frankie's body wasn't there. The principal, Mr Doughie said angrily "ok young man you are expelled!".
I was about to respond when all of a sudden Vic came out from a storage cupboard and pushed Mr Doughie down the stairs and ran after him. I heard an animal like noise from behind me and turned around and there was Frankie. I called out "Frankie your ok". He turned around and growled. I saw his face and then realised he wasn't Frankie anymore. I have seen enough movies to know what he is. They are Zombies.
I began to run away when all of a sudden all the classroom doors opened and I realised that 4th period was over and everyone was getting ready to leave. I turned around and looked at Frankie and he was already eating another person I believe it was a 9th grader called Darren. All I saw was blood and bits of his face going everywhere. There was a massive scream and the hallways turned into what it was like when we had that fire two years ago.
I saw an empty classroom and ran into it and locked the door. A bunch of kids tried to get in but I wasn't risk infection. So I kept the door locked. I hid in that classroom for what felt like hours especially when you're on your own. When I finally decided to go out it was almost dark outside. I opened the door as quietly as I could. When I opened it I realised I needed a weapon. I went back into the class and found a piece of old pipe quite loose but as I pulled it made a lot of noise. I listened to hear if any zombies were coming but I could only hear one so I stepped out of the class and when I went to swing I stopped because it was Frankie.
I just stopped I couldn't kill my best friend. We had been friends since pre-school. I knew I had to but I couldn't. He attacked me and then I just swung. I hit his head and he fell to the ground. I fell to the ground too. I looked and saw I had made a dent in his head. I was in shock. I felt like just rolling over and dying but then I remembered what he did. It didn't make me feel any better about killing him but at least I stood up for myself in a way. I still felt horrible and really sad about it.
I got up grabbed my pipe and continued walking. I stepped on a chip which must have been dropped during the havoc in the halls. It echoed through the halls and all of a sudden I heard a huge sound like a bunch of crazed fans were running at me. I looked behind me and saw what looked like the whole school running towards me but they weren't alive they were definitely dead. I needed to make a run for the exit but could I make it?
