All by herself, Nia drug the zombie who turned out to be Nick, the janitor and Mr. Taylor who was no longer breathing out of the doorway. She slammed the door shut, before beginning to take desk and barricade the door with them.

"Who the hell is this bitch?" Victoria sniffles, her eyes red and puffy. Like everyone else, she was trying to figure out how Nia wasn't freaking out like the rest of them.

She just killed the janitor, again, now she's barricading the door like some skilled hunter or something. "She's the girl who just saved our lives." Tina said, matter-of-factly.

"No, really who is she?" Victoria questioned. She looked at Nia who was examining the dead corpse of Mr. Taylor. "Excuse me, girl who saved us."

"My name is Nia." Nia stated, without looking up. "And I didn't save you, Mr. Taylor is going to wake up, hungry any minute now."

"What?!" Squealed Regina.

"When you get bit by a zombie, you turn into a zombie. Everyone knows that." Nia shook her head, reaching for the fire extinguisher. She took a deep breath, standing up straight, while lifting the red can above her head.

Before she could smash his brains in, the fire extinguisher got taken out of her hand. She turned to see a frowning Dustin. "Are you out of your mind? You fucking psycho, zombies aren't real! You're about to smash in the brains of a human being."

"Dead human being." She corrected him. "This isn't a movie, or a fucking book, this is reality. There is no time to sit around and process the fact the world has officially turned into shit. You saw it, I saw it, the janitor just had our a teacher for dinner. Not mention, the screaming of other teachers and students in the hallway, along with the banging of those who have already turned, at the door."

"Is she serious?" Owen asked. Nia shrugged, and Otis nodded. "Oh, yeah. She's serious."

"I know it sounds crazy but I think that she's right." Said Tina. Everyone looked at the red head who's eyes were beaming of fear.

"For the first time in history the geek sounds like a complete idiot." Regina snapped. "This isn't the Walking Dead, there's no such thing as zombies."

"Exactly." Dustin agreed. "If there was, the government what have told us something. It would be on the news or the radio."

"Yeah because the government always gives intel on things that are actually a danger to our lives." Tina scoffed, knowingly.

"Look, I don't care if you don't believe me." Nia rolled her eyes. "But I am not and will not be getting eaten today. So! Give me back the fire extinguisher."

"No. You crazy ass bitch, you're not bashing anybody elses brains in."

"I'm about ready to smash your head for putting us all in danger." She retorted, getting very agitated.

"Again, who the hell are you? How are you so calm? You just bashed a guys brains in." Victoria asked.

"Let's just say I was raised to face disasters similar to this. Situations that are going to take doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done and right now, his head needs to get bashed in."

"Right." Owen nodded, laughing hysterically. "Because in order to really kill a zombie, you have to destory the brain, right?"

"Exactly." Nia agreed. She tried to grab the fire extinguisher but Dustin pulled it away. "No."

"Give it to me." She gritted her teeth.

"No." He retorted, a hard look in his eyes.

Nia balled her hands in a fist, Dustin obviously not knowing with this girl could do to him.
