"Everyone! Go to the fire exit!" Someone announced. Since everyone wanted to go to the fire exit, we were able to go to the  nurse's office quickly.

Jihoon bursted the door open that startled the nurse. "Hey, what's going on? Why are people trying to leave?"

I put Mi Jin carefully on the bed while Jihoon shut the door. All of us paid no attention to her and are stuck in our own worlds.

"Answer me!" Geez, you don't have to shout lady.

"We don't know! The security guard ate somebody... And that's all we know." Ara answered, fidgeting, paranoia evident in her eyes. I feel the same, really.

"What are we gonna do now?" I asked.

"I'll call my driver." He pulled out his phone and did just that.

"So... What happened to the guard  exactly?" The nurse asked without shouting.

"Is the security guard... A zombie?" Ara asked. His grey skin, his dead eyes with hints of yellow and his hunger for flesh.  I don't think she's wrong.

"If  that's the case, no one's going out of this room." The nurse demanded. I disagree, what are we gonna defend ourselves with?

I looked around the room for possible weapons. There's a broom but it's not made of plastic so I can't break it. Ahhh fuck it, that will do.

"Sorry but I'm going."

"What?! Why?"

"There might be more of them now and I don't think we'll be able to get to the car empty handed. I'm just going to clear the way."

"What are you even going to defend yourself with?!"

"That broom will do." I grabbed the broom. It's really light so I doubt it will do any damage on it's own but I've got no other choice.

 I went to Jihoon, guarding the door, he put his hand on my shoulder. "Be careful out there. He said he'll arrive in about thirty minutes, be back by then."       

I put my hand on the knob, should I really go out there? Once I do I might die... But if I don't do this it'll be harder to go outside. I stepped outside, gripping the broom harder. Jihoon quickly closed the door behind me.

I looked around and luckily the hallways on this floor is empty. Still I walked cautiously, careful not to make a sound. If the security guard really is a zombie like from the movies I should stay as quiet as possible. Now where should I go?

A knife... I can get one in the cafeteria. There are only 3 floors in this school I shouldn't take long. I slowly went up the stairs, gripping my broom tighter every step I take. My heart feels like it's going to burst out of my chest.

There's an unnerving feeling lingering in the air. The strong smell of iron greets my nose as I reached the second floor.  T-there's blood everywhere... I thought everyone exited through the fire exit. Just like us, they also didn't follow orders. Will I have... The same fate...?  

"Grrr..." What was that? I whipped my head towards the sound. It keeps getting louder, as if it's coming towards me. Around the corner... I stepped forward. I raised the broom to my head.

"Graaa!" It jumped on me and we both fell to the ground. I pushed my broom to block it's mouth targeting my flesh. Ughh, broom, don't break now! You're the only weapon I got.

I tried to push it off but damn, he's heavy. I put my foot on his abdomen and kicked it as hard as I could. It rolled over on the floor and before it could stand I picked myself up. I looked at the broom and thankfully   it didn't break. I hate looking at them... Their dead grey skin and torn off flesh just disgusts me. It stood up again and I readied my broom. It ran towards me with its mouth wide open, once it came close enough I hit it as hard as I could and it dropped to the ground. Don't get up again.

Sweat dripped down my face and I panted for air.  It's still moving... Can you even call it alive...? Before it can get up I stepped on its chest and raised my broom to my head. I brought the broom down, hearing a satisfying crunch... I want to hear it again.

My chest throbbed as I panted for air. Shit, I went overboard. My arms hurt and I'm now covered in blood... I shouldn't have wasted my time bashing it.

The cafeteria... I need to hurry! I didn't care and just ran. I stopped in front of the cafeteria, slowing down my pace. I need to be quiet again, there might might be more IT here. I skipped the tables and went to the kitchen. I cringed at the screeching sound when you open the door.

It's clean except for a puddle of blood and no one seems to be around... Still, I should be quiet. I stepped inside. There's the knife! I should get everything or maybe I should take blunt weapons instead? I grabbed three knives and a frying pan. These should be enough, I need to be careful not to stab myself accidentally... Is dying because of stupidity and carelessness really better than turning into IT... Ugh, both are terribly shit.

*thud* *thud* What was that?! Is someone there? Someone is banging on the door. Is it one of IT or someone alive...? I grabbed one of the knife and went towards the door. Each thump contradicting the rhythm of my heartbeat. I put my hand on the cold knob...

"Who are you?!"

"Grrahh..."

It's not a person... I quickly pulled the door open and jumped back. IT fell to the ground and managed to grab my feet. Ahh! The fucker pulled me down with him! I kicked its face away but it just wouldn't let go! I looked at its hand, ugh, I'll just hack it off. I slashed its hand but it didn't break completely but it let go and I crawled backwards to get some distance...

I stood up, watching it crawl towards me. Once it was close enough I stomped on its head.

I should go back now.

Oof, I haven't been able to update in a while so I just want to say sorry!😂

We had a trip and we went to a place with absolutely no internet and I was sad😢...

But we went to a lot of nice places and met great people so it's all good despite the lack of internet and the suffering of 13 hours of travel to get home😰
