I breath heavy as sirens pass by me, air is thick, world seems dark...this is what I call a normal day. The past month and a half hospital patients have been going insane and well, get put down, they are being violent with strangers and it's weird. Most kids are staying home and dropping out of school as well as moving, but kids like me...well we are failing. Even all the failing kids aren't going to school but my parents think that it shouldn't interfere with my education. That's how I ended up here, walking to school. "Hey! B wait up!"
That's my best friend Skye, she's going to school too so I'm not alone. Skye's a cute girl with blonde wavy hair, she has glasses and a positive spin on basically everything, she wears the most colourful clothes...were as I am a girl who gets distracted by everything,light brown hair,freckles,I wear black and pretty dark colours,and as people tell me when I'm in a bad mood I'm not sunshine and rainbows. B is my nickname my actual name is Boston. Any way that's some background on us.
"Are you okay b?".
"Yeah, sure"
I couldn't wrap my head around the never ending sirens.
Before we knew it, we reached school aka prison. I walked into the class with skye seeing my teacher running around loooking for the first aid kit. We weren't even 12 minutes into the day and we got called for a lockdown. We were the only kids who came to school and lockdowns became a normal thing. My parents were never notified about the lockdowns because the teachers barley got paid any more so those idiots were desperate. I never bothered to tell my parents myself. Skye and I crawled under our desks making sure we brought things to occupy ourselves. Our teacher mr. Scaredy pants was shivering as if he were in a freezer. I took a pencil sharpener apart and took the blade out of it and started making scratches on the tile floor. We heard 2 screams and a gun shot, I looked up at Skye and nodded as she started taking notes on paper. I was worried because my other best friend Johnny hadn't shown up today. But I didn't stress it.
Skye-are you sure your okay?
Me-yeah I'm fine
Skye-don't you dare lie to me.
Me-just a lil blank minded
She smirked and nodded.
We heard 3 screams and two more gunshots followed by one more scream. I looked at Skye to see her jotting it all on paper. I went on adventures with Skye often, home was were I slept but other than that I'm with Skye 24-7.
I'm pretty unsocial and Skye's really my only friend, I have known her since birth and we have been inseparable ever since. I remembered that on our last adventure I brought my pocket knife and I realized that I had left it in my bag...if police ask to search our bags again I'm dead. Then I heard a scream, it was johnny! I went for it. I walked to the front door and started to put the key into the lock when I heard.
Teacher-don't you dare open that door Boston...
Me- I don't know if you care but johnnys out there and your just leaving him as bait.
Teacher-don't you-
I walked out. With Skye following me.
I went to my bag and grabbed my pocket knife and held it,making sure my hand was covering it because if anyone's getting in trouble with the police it ain't gonna be me.
Skye-alright let's find johnny and get outta here!
Me-look! those are mud tracks! And it's the shape of his shoes!!!
We followed the mud-tracks all the way to a locker i tried opening it but I needed a combination.
Me-hey, johnny are ya in there?
Skye-it's me and B!
Johnny-Skye...B?
Me and Skye- yeah it's us
Johnny-run!
We looked to the side of us to find a hospital patient... and we booked it.
Me-I have a knife and I'm not afraid to use it on you!
The patient was walking not running and limping, it was breathing heavy and moaning.
The patient had blood oozing from its mouth... and a huge bite on its neck.
Skye-do it B
I waved the pocket knife in front of the patient but nothing happened. We ran all the way to the doors of the stairwell.
Me-I have an idea
Skye-better to try than to die, I'm in
Me- it's risky and there's not much time
Skye- whatever it is, I'm in B
Me-okay, its following us right...
Skye-B...
Me-you said you were in!
She nodded
Me-you know how the stairwell has no railings right?
Skye-yeah...
Me-follow me
We ran through the doors out at the stairwell, the plan was to jump from stair to stair of the ledge and risk breaking an ankle... when I had a better idea...
me-let's just draw it in here and lock the doors
Skye-smart!
So we did and it worked! But it was kicking and scratching as well as throwing it's self at the door, and the only thing holding the doors was two chairs.
Me-we only have a bit of time
Skye-let's go get johnny!
We walked to the locker he had hid in and asked him for the combo but get this, he saw it open and he had locked himself in.
I slapped my face waving my head back and forth.
Me-alright, plan B
I took my knife and snapped the lock open.
Johnny- thanks guys!
Me- no problem, now we only have a bit of time before that thing gets in...
I realized I just called a human a thing.
Johnny-let's get out of the school.
I looked behind me to see the only exit with the patient locked behind the doors.
Me-crap...
Johnny-why don't we just run past it?
Skye-could work!
Me-Worth a shot
It worked! We walked outside to see bombs going off and hospital patients everywhere whether they have blood dripping out of their mouth or off their skin we realized could this be the beginning of the end?
