Outbreak of Z-Day

Supplies

Jessica introduced us to her dad and her German Shepard,

"This is my dad, George, and this is, Rosie, my dog." She petted Rosie on the head and she barked.

"Hey." I said, shaking her dad's hand and Jessica noticed the bandage.

"What happened to your arm?" I looked down at it and there was a large patch of blood.

"He got bit." Craig answered for me. I glared at him and Jessica laughed.

"Like it matters, we're immune." She told him.

"To the flu that caused it but not to the infection, I don't think." Jessica shook her head.

"Before the news died, the reporter said 'You lucky fucking bastards! You're immune to the infection whoopee do-da.'" She waved her arms above her head, like she was acting out what the reporter was doing. "Then she was eaten."

"I doubt they let her swear on national television." Victoria spoke out.

"I know right." Jessica agreed. Before walking off, "I'm hungry." I looked at Victoria and she shrugged at me. We all followed Jessica to the canteen. We sat at the tables, they weren't moved for the Junior School Assembly at all.

"Why haven't the tables been moved?" Laura asked everyone.

"Maybe they just evacuated them immediately?" Louise suggested.

"Or they had Form assembly?" Victoria pointed out as another option.

"That'd be to much hassle for the soldiers though." I told her. We then heard Jessica wooing. I went in to find her killing the zombified cook. "I bet all the foods contaminated."

"No no." She said lifting a small box and cutting it open. "Their still sealed." She said taking a chocolate muffin from the box. I shook my head and went back into the dining hall.

"She's found food if you want it." Craig, Louise, James and Daniel all went to get some. Laura, Lauren, Victoria and I were left in the dining hall. Victoria and I joined Laura and Lauren.

"It's all gone to shit hasn't it?" Laura asked looking up at me.

"It's only been an hour." I answered.

"Yeah," She nodded, "And the army have already ordered everyone dead. And anyone the army misses, the zombies get them."

"You make it sound like there's no hope." Victoria told her, she looked a little overwhelmed. Lauren just sat there listening, she didn't seem to have an opinion. The others came out stuffing their faces with the muffins,

"Hey!" I shouted at them. "We need those to survive." They laughed at me. "You won'tbe laughing when we run out of supplies, idiots." Craig stepped forward.

"We can get more."

"Oh so you think it's that easy?" I asked him, trying to seem tough and with a sense of leadership.

"There is like, what 4 or 5 shops down the road." He argued. "There's also houses all around us."

"Oh. You think we can just leave and walk into them whenever we want without the zombies attacking us?"

"Oh yeah." He looked away from me and backed off. The others put the sealed muffins back and finished the ones that were open. For the rest of the day we sat in the library, Daniel was able to hack the C2K network and deactivate it and we just watched some movies on the internet. We didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. Not long after watching 2 movies, it was dark and we didn't dare turn the lights on incase we attracted more infected to the school. I helped pull some bookcases up against the door and then we made beds out of the chairs and went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and could hear someone crying. I got of my make-shift bed and found Laura crying behind a bookshelf. I put my blazer over her and wrapped an arm around her. She gripped my shirt.

"Their all dead." She cried into my shoulder.

"I know." I said, hugging her tighter. "But we still have each other." After a few minutes, she was asleep on my shoulder and I carried her to my make-shift bed and set her on it. I then went over to the window and watched the zombies shuffling around under the street lights.
