Answer

1st Chapter

There are a lot of instances where the world gives you signal. Just like when you had that awry feeling about bringing your phone to school but you brought it anyway and ended up losing or breaking it. Just like when you have a bad feeling about taking a bath that certain afternoon then ended up with the water getting cut-off when you still have soap in your eyes.

And today, I think, is the worst day to ignore the sign.

I woke up at 10am, my normal morning routine since I'm a night school student at some prestigious school. Later on, I was ready to go to school. I exchanged farewells with my family, which is something we regularly do before going out.

"I love you guys!" It was not something I would normally say however that day, at that time, and in that moment, I felt like I have to. That strange feeling that if I don't, I would never have the chance to say it again.

It was our second to the last period when the emergency bell rang. The room was filled with red lights indicating that we are already in the worst state of emergency. Our math teacher then got out of the room telling us not to go out without further instructions.

Mhyst, one of my classmates, knelt down on the floor then opened the blinds. We are occupying the mezzanine, a small basement type room on top of the classroom on the first floor.

We are the only ones on this part of the school at this moment since the mezzanine beside us had been empty for a while now.

"Oh my god!" Mhyst screamed in horror as she was looking down the window.

Everyone including me got curious so followed her actions only to imitate her reaction too.

Some were speechless, some had their mouth covered with their hands. Some were shivering in fear and some are even crying.

It was a scene where our math teacher was being eaten alive by some of the students below.

I don't know what to do. Should i scream in horror? Should I be shocked? Should I slap myself so that I wake up from reality?

I only returned back to my reverie when I saw Sam, John and France running towards our math teacher with the intention of helping him.

"No, go back! Hurry!" I heard our teacher yell with all his might as if, he's using his last breath to protect my classmates.

The boys stopped midway because our teacher lost it's consciousness. They looked extremely shocked looking at our teachers dead body with the intestines out in the open.

"Boys, go back up!" Shad exclaimed. The boys hurriedly came up the stairs and quickly entered the room. It was a relief that the students below we're too busy at our math teacher that they didn't notice the boys.

After what happened, the classroom became quite. Not staring at each other, not having eyes that's full of questions. Just quite, staring into thin air blankly as if we just woke up. We didn't know what to do. What to think. What to feel.

We've been classmates since seventh grade till now that were graduating senior high students. we've thought and gone through a lot of chaos, created a lot of memories however this was something someone could not even dare to think of.

One of my classmate suddenly spoke.

"Is this what I think it is?"
"This is too unreal."
"This got to be a prank."
"You saw it happen! Stop denying things!"
"Then what should we do now?"
"Should we all go out? I think we could overpower them!"

We suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the first floor so we hurriedly looked at the window.

The grade eleven are fighting their way to freedom. Frankly, their number are greater than the students that are walking like corpse. I didn't know what happened but in a split second they ended up like our math teacher. At that thought, I realized that our math teacher is already attacking the students.

France hurriedly opened the box that is full of our phones and dialed a number. We all worriedly looked at him. We didn't have to ask who he's calling. We already knew it was Marie, her girlfriend in eleventh grade.

After the call he informed us that there are only four of them that are still alive, including his girlfriend. They couldn't go out because they are weak, their classmates informed them to only go out if the coast is clear however the coast became gloomier.

"What do we do now?"
"We can't just go out and repeat history."
"Then should we just stay here forever?"
"President?"
"I also have no idea."

Some are panicking. Some are arguing, however the only thing that's in my mind is my family. I mirrored France' action and dialed moms number. She didn't pick up even after 6 missed calls and I'm starting to sweat bullets. I called my sisters number and she picked up.

"Are you okay?" The first words she asked me.

"Yes. How about you guys?"

"We're okay. We were alarmed and evacuated early so there are no problems."

"Where are you right now?"

"I don't know, it's getting chaotic here. It will be on the news I'm sure."

"Okay I'll check it."

"Stay safe, sis. I'm worried about you. Wait, the signals getting dull."

"Okay. Keep safe. Tell everyone I love you. I'll call again."

"Wait wha.." she couldn't finish what she was about to say because the call got cut off. I won't call again since I was planning to end the call anyway.

"Hurry and turn on the TV!" I told Braxton. He turned on the Television and tried to find a suitable channel.

Maybe because the TV wasn't used for the viewing of a national channel, we couldn't find any channel that is working.

Sam, one of my classmates that's an IT expert, did something to the TV and suddenly it's working.

After a few minutes. The news came out.

"Breaking news, A virus came out affecting everyone in town. We have rescued the citizens and transferred them to the west where the virus hadn't reached yet. The beauro has already announced a city crisis as of this moment. The investigation is still in process as to how and why it started. We would like everyone to stay at a safe place. These creatures are observed to be very violent. They attack everyone they could see and hear and after bitten, you are to become one of them. We want everyone to stay alive and if possible, come to the west, we have provided a security there. Be careful everyone."

We remained silent as the channel was acting up again. Before it was completely gone, we heard something that changed everything.

"Codename: Zombies."
