The Struggle is Real

Another Point of View

Makenna's POV
~Edited~

I run out of the school with only a mop as a weapon. What the hell just happened? I saw Allison and Savannah run into Mr. Gonzalez room. I was afraid... what are these things? I grabbed my backpack, I don't know why, and I followed Mary out of the classroom, and through the fire doors. I heard a blaring sound start as I opened it. I looked up covering my ears, and I watch Jarren, and Mary run so I catch up with them. Behind me, I heard fast footsteps. I look behind me too see Amanda, and Alex K. helping Julia who's knee used too be dislocated.. it was healing so I hope Julia will be ok.

"Come on!" I shout too them, and Alex G. and Michael C. ran from behind them, and handed me a plastic baggie. I looked inside... there was a bullet. I looked at them, and then kept running, and I realized that Julia was gonna be ok, if she was light enough for Amanda and Alex Kiss too help her. Edventually, we all stop and even Alex G, collapses into the grass, breathing heavily. I bend my knees and place my hands on them. I throw my mop too the side, and in the distance I could see Jacob running this way, I motioned him and for the first time I actually felt comfortable with him around. I sat down in the grass, and so did everyone else.

"I'm glad we're together." I said, breaking the silence, Mary looked at me, and soon all we heard was the sound of our panic breaths. About 5 minutes later, everyone was lying in the grass, and our breathing had slowed. I sat up and moved my hair too the my left shoulder.

"Can someone talk?" I ask, crossing my arms. Jarren sat up, looking at Mary.

"You guys... I don't know what the fuck just happened, but... I think the worlds ending." Jarren says. We heard whimpering and Amanda was looking at Julia, as she sobbed.

"What's wrong Jules?" Alex asked, Alex K. She hugged Alex and then wiped her nose, sniffling.

"My little brother... and my mom and dad..... what happens if they get eaten by the-the?" Amanda looked at Jarren.

"Why is everyone looking at me? Look at Mary for a leader." Mary shoot her head franically, I heard Jarren sigh and he looked at Julia, and for the first time he was actually being serious.

"I promise you Julia, its ok.. we are going too survive.. may be not then and now... but we will find a way." He said, straight forward.

"Man Jarren.. that was the first actual serious sentence I've ever heard you say." Alex K. broke the silence, making everyone giggle. I then smile.

"Well I think our classmates are still alive. It just... these things aren't cannibals.. cause.... Mr. Quinlan was torn apart.. and I swear I saw him open his eyes... These things are dead... I saw Kate, get bit, and she died, and turned into one of them! I swear.. this is a zombie Apocalypse!" I rolled my eyes. I lifted my head up about a minute later with everybody staring at me. I looked scared.

"What?" I asked.

"YOUR RIGHT!" Michael C. whispered. "A zombie Apocalypse.. we watched the movies and shows... its becoming real! God cursed us all!" he continued, falling back. I sighed.

"Maybe I am... right." I say. I took a deep breath, and Jarren looked at Mary.

"I want too be leader... I will be the leader and Mary... you be my assistant." Jarren laughed. It made me smile, and then I realized something...

"We don't have weapons..." I say. Mary took her bag, and unzipped it.. pulling out a pocket knife, which she handed too Amanda. She pulled out a hammer, which I guess came from one of the Janitor's belts. She handed it too Jarren. She pulled out a screwdriver, which went too me. Then she grabbed about 4 other things out, exposing them to be, sharp pencils taped together... they were very stiff, plus some sort of.... stick? One of the black things that people use to keep their tent pierced into the ground. She handed the pencils too Michael C, and the tent piercing too Alex G. Last but not least, she had like 3 kitchen knives. I shrugged curiously, "Where the hell did you get these, cause I didn't think that the kitchen had ones like these." I said, passing one to Alex K., and then too Julia.
