Infectious

Infection

His alarm cut through the air with its shrill beeping, which he silenced quickly, he moved slowly to his shower. After his warm shower he slowly got dressed, he wasn't much of a morning person. In fact he didn't really like talking to anyone in the morning, he usually liked to avoid them if he could. Finn wasn't a mean person, he was actually really nice but he just despised mornings. Plain and simple, he continued his daily routine and soon was heading to the bus. The awful bone chilling cold was something he'd grown used to. He actually sometimes liked it. When the bus finally arrived, he got into his usual seat and settled down, after a while he started thinking about bailey, no bailey wasn't a girl, he was a guy. Yea Finn was gay, he'd known forever and he’s friends and family knew, so it wasn't really a big deal, except for his love life, that was the only problem. All of his boyfriends had been long distance, so he had never had the touch or feel of someone he loved, he'd never kissed anyone, not even hugged his boyfriend ever, and after a while, it got to him. He had his eye on one incredible guy, bailey, he was beautiful, he had short brown hair that he put into a spike, beautiful blue eyes, he had a baby face that was to die for, and when he blushed, the world stopped and finn lost every ounce of breath in his body; finn knew he shouldn't be thinking about this, Bailey was straight and finn was a dandelion in a field of roses. Sooner than he had expected he was met with the sight of the tall building.

As he passed by he couldn’t help hearing words like "infection "rabies" "murder" and other disturbing topics. When he met up with his friends he joined the conversation. He hadn't checked the news; but it didn’t take him long to figure out something was happening. "Did you hear about them?" Alex said "They’re everywhere apparently" "They only attack at night, i heard" said beth “That’s a damn lie; I heard whole families were missing in the middle of the day “Alex countered. "So where do we go then?" Ambi said. "Not really sure; but I say that we meet up in carpentry if shit hits the fan" Finn added

-Later that day-

Finn made his way through the endless halls and staircases to reach his favorite class. Art. Though he really enjoyed sketching and painting, he also got to see bailey there. Finn never had the nerve to talk to him; so he sat in the back of class and just did his own thing. He liked it that way. Bailey stood across the room in his usual preppy attire, button up shirt; khaki pants and a bow tie. He always dressed to impress and it really worked for him. Finn knew better then too get too caught up with that boy, he knew that things were often set in stone and he had learned that sometimes its just better off this way.

The blissfull atmosphere of the room was shattered by a gunshot so close to the classroom it terrified finn. Another shot and all the classmates ducked, some crouched down, Mrs.B shut the blinds and turned off the slights. “ALL STUDENTS ARE TOO REMAIN CALMLY SEATED” she instructed. She ordered some students to push larger objects and furniture to block off the door and windows. Loud bangs crashed against the glass causing muffled screams from some of the students,

Some students were crying, some praying. Finn was just sitting there, trying to comprehend what the actual hell was happening. He hadn't even noticed that bailey was sitting next to him. "Do you have any idea whats happening?" bailey said causing finn to snap out of his thoughts. " uhhh no i mean, its, its, cold outside" Finn sputtered out. Bailey stared off in silence. The moment was short lived when Broke through the classroom door.  A howl pierced the screams and whatever it was, slowly shambled in. It stood, probably about 5'8", gray skin with splotches of red, yellow, and purple. Its eyes a sickly milky white and what was left of its hair was scraggly and blonde. It was wearing a suit, probably stuck in traffic or something when it died, maybe just off the highway in front of the school. Its teeth were yellow and chipped. It slowly rose to its feet and quickly shuffled towards us. Finn and bailey stood up, both of them backed up to the Wall. The monster lunged swiftly for a small petite girl and bite her arm painfully. The bones snapped and cracked and her horrified shrieks pieced the air. That’s when all hell broke loose; Finn and Bailey ran to the door only to be met by the terrified mob of the other students, everyone scrambling away from the monsters. The two ran too a less crowded hall to avoid being trampled. “W-where do w-we go”  Bailey muttered between breaths. "I have an idea, we should go to carpentry, that’s where i told all my friends to meet" finn said calmly.
