The Escape Plan

It was supposed to be a good school trip. My friends/school mates and I were currently locked in the kitchen, no adults around. It was just after we arrived and set up for the night when we heard a drill. When we gathered near the front we saw the door being boarded up. I was about to ask when a ear-splitting scream was heard. We turned to see Katlin being eaten. I gulp then shake my head to get focused. "Everyone to the kitchen." I yell running towards the kitchen as I see Grace and Ashley following close behind me. Most of the others were with us.
By the time we're all in the kitchen we're down twenty people with thirty left. I look around the room and see mostly everyone in fear and sadness. I look next to me with a blush seeing no other then my crush. He's tall with a mop of black hair and dazzling blue eyes. He was looking at the others. I heard something under the sink that we were standing by. Then in a blink of an eye, he was gone, as there was a struggle going on under the sink. I hold the doors shut as I reach over and grab the gun close to me. I moved away and then shot at him hearing the struggle stop. Then I lit a match and tossed it under, burning the body. I look around and see everyone looking at me as I felt my heart shatter. "We're not safe here, I saw a weapon bunker on the way here." I say as the others followed me out.
We arrived in the bunker with ten others gone. We were down to twenty. I was panting against the steel door when I heard banging behind me. I looked around and saw that we had more guys than girls as everyone was scared. "The door should hold, first everyone needs to learn how to wield a gun." Some of the guys offered to teach and I let them as I went to a side table and started to work on an antidote. I thought up some simple things and used the chemistry kit that was there. Soon I finished a prototype and put some of it in a syringe when the door broke down and screaming sounded behind me. I got up quickly, grabbed my gun and spun around shooting at the flesh-eaters as more came. I realized there were too many here for me to take them on in the bunker. "I'm not dying till the world knows who Kaylub is!" I screamed then lit a match and threw it on the corpses and it caught on some of the others. The standing ones ran from the flames in fear as one bit me on my shoulder tearing through skin and muscle. I ignored the pain as I rotated my gun and shot the Eater in the head as I gripped my shoulder. I stumbled into the room. They all had their guns trained on me. "Calm down...I'm not turning." I stood up and walked over towards the bed. There I took my antidote and injected it into my neck, near my wound. I hate needles. "I'll let you know if you should kill me or not." I said as I started to fall asleep.
When I woke up the guys still had guns trained on me. "Calm down I'm still human." I say standing as my shoulder was healed...weird.
"Oh yeah prove it." I shrugged and pulled my pants down showing them my purple undies and their eyes went wide as I pulled my pants back up.
"No decay around my area so I'm human." I said looking around noticing how most of the girls, except for Grace, were gone. "Where did they go?" I asked the idiot guys.
"Bathroom," I blink at their stupidity.
"And you didn't stop them, or go with them!?!" I practically yelled at them angered as I heard a soft knock on the door. I glare at the guys then open the door to see Ashley with bite marks and torn flesh. The guys aim at her. "How do you feel?"
"I'm tired," I nod leading her to the bed where I lay her down and give her some of the antidote as she falls asleep.
Hours pass and I'm still awake. We decided to take shifts so they could sleep...I haven't slept once. I deal with insomnia, so it's only natural I don't sleep. Grace was awake with me, but I could tell she was soon to fall asleep as well. I heard a groan and got up from by the door and looked over at Ashley who laid on the bed looking at me. "Did it work?" I asked, stepping towards her. She checked under the covers and shook her head. "Don't worry we'll think of-"
"Kill me." She said cutting me off. I blinked as tears formed in my eyes as I shook my head. "Please I want you to kill me before the others do. I don't want to die to them, please Kayla Plea-" I shot her in the head and flipped the cartage and torched her. The others awoke at this time and I held my composure as I felt dead inside. Ashes. I thought as I scooped up Ashley's ashes and mixed them in with my next few batches of antidotes. I hear the door give way.
"Don't shoot!" I yell as I syringe a new antidote and inject it into the Eater who then fell to the floor unconscious. "Help me get the door up...again." I hate this door. I thought as I picked up most of the weight. Soon as the door was again secure, I turned to the blonde man who groaned as he stood up holding his head.
"W-what happened, who are you kids?" He asked as I took a few steps towards him.
"My name is Kaylub, I know I look feminine for a male, but that's due to me having Klinefelter syndrome." I said with a soft smile as I stood there. "I'm the leader of the group. We're here due to an outbreak which turns people into Flesh Eaters." I say as the guys looked at me extremely confused.
"Kayla stop lying, you're a girl...the rest is true though." I rolled my eyes as I led the man to the bed.
"My name is Alastair." He said as I nodded.
"Do you know how to shoot a gun?" I asked as he nodded. "Good, now these guns are different, they have a switch mode which turns them into flamethrowers." I show him with my gun. He nodded as I look around. I exited the room and traveled the halls shooting at any and all Flesh Eaters, but I only shot them in non lethal areas to prevent them from dying. When I returned Alastair was okay and ready to move.
"What did you do?" One of the guys asked.
"Simple, I laced the bullets with my antidote and went through the building shooting the Eaters and now they should be human again." Everyone looked at me.
"Yeah, but where would they go?"
