Apocalypse In Love

School Disease, Early Release

I quickly dashed into my parents room, moving a chair under the door nob as a sort of lock. I backed away a bit, panting lightly as I hear growling, gurgling, and scratching at the door. "Dammit.." I sigh a bit as I start rummaging through my parents closet, and a black plastic box fell to the floor from the top shelf. "I knew it!" I quietly yell as I grab the box and open it on the bed. I pull out my dads 45, load it, and cock it back then aim at the door--

Woah, lets rewind this shall we? How about..

~That day(Friday), at school; 11:34~

"*sigh* God, this is so boring..." I whisper to myself. I'm at lunch sitting in the library by myself as usual. At least I have 10 more minutes. Then again, all my classes are shit to. Dunno anyone in them. I sigh again, noticing someone sweating vigorously and shivering at the table next to mine. Curiousity strikes me and I walk up to him.

"Hey kid, are you ok? You don't look so good.." I say quietly. And he replies with a trembling voice, "I-I think I'm s-s-sick.. I'm s-so cold-d..." I nod to show I understand and give him my jacket. "Use this to keep warm. I'm taking you to the nurse" He carefully takes it and wraps it around him. "Th-Thank you so m-much." He looks terrible. Sweating, shivering, pale skin, discoloured eyes along with being bloodshot, chapped lips, and severe purple/pink-ish bags under his eyes.

I help him to his feet and slowly start walking to the nurse with my arm around his shoulder while one of his oddly cold hands tightly holds onto my other hand for balance. We soon reach the nurses office and when we walk in, I see so many other people in the same condition. Even a teacher or two. "Oh dear, another one?" I nod and look around, "Man, what happened?" I ask as I sit the guy down and talk with the nurse. "I wish I knew, they look absolutely terrible and their temperatures are sky rocketing.. In all reality, with how high the temperatures are, they shouldn't be alive right now." My eyes widen as I look around at all the students groaning and coughing. "Yikes.. Well, I'm gonna go. My lunch break is almost over." I say then leave, walking back to the library. Shortly after i get to the library, the intercom comes on and the principal speaks loudly, clearly and there appears to be a little bit of panic in his voice, "Attention all students and staff; We are evacuating the school immediately. This is NOT a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill everyone evacuate immediately and go home." The intercom hangs up as I grab my backpack. "Wonder what the hell all that was about.." I say in confusion as make my way to mine and my friends bus.

I step on and sit where me and her would always sit. She wasn't here today. She messaged me this morning saying her and her family are leaving somewhere for a little while. The bus ride was quiet for the most part. Everyone seemed worried and/or scarred. I don't blame them though, this is pretty weird. I don't know how I feel honestly. I just know something isn't right. This is far from normal.

Soon, I arrive home but everyone seems to be out somewhere. I shrug it off and walk inside, then go to my room and set my back pack by my bed. I sigh and go out to the living room and put on a movie. I plop down on the couch with a sigh and watch the movie and play on my phone.

~about 30 minutes later~

I'm starting to doze off, but then a loud banging and scratching at my front door abruptly awoke me. I stand up, my curiosity peaked and getting the best of me. I go to the front door and open it and have a hand immediately reach for me making stumble and almost fall backwards. I gasp and back away a bit as they slowly stumble inside. "W-What the hell are you??" I ask no one in particular. Then I look back past it, seeing that this thing is not alone. There's a few others approaching as well, a little more quickly...

I stand up and dashed into my parents room, moving a chair under the door nob as a sort of lock. I backed away a bit, panting lightly from panic and fear as I hear growling, gurgling, and scratching at my door. "Dammit.." I sigh a bit as I start rummaging through my parents closet, and a black plastic box fell to the floor from the top shelf. "I knew it!" I quietly yell as I grab the box and open it on the bed. I pull out my dads 45, load it, and cock it back then aim at the door...
