Once im done I creep down the hall way. It's practically noon. The light by the doorway attracts me so I move toward it. The door was obviously locked with chains and wooden planks but there was a tiny hole. I look through the hole and watch closely. Everything was deserted. Trash and cars all cover the ground. Wind blows slightly.
"May you please step back form the door!" A women says. I jump back hurting myself in the head.
"You're lucky there isn't any zombies outside! They could've smelled you!"
"I- I am sorry"
He clutched my hand and drags me back to the auditorium. I pass the door and frantically move toward my bed. Shawn and Misha were already there changing the sheets. I crash into Shawn and hug him.

"Woah there. Did you really miss me that much? I mean, you were in the showers..."

"Maybe so" Misha smiles. I let go of Shawn and smile at him.
"I saw the outside!" I practically scream.
Misha's eyes grow big.
"You went outside?" Shawn touches my arm.
"No! I saw the outside! It looked filthy and all but I saw it! I smelled the air too! Oh how wonderful-"
"Chill out! Did you see any?"
I look down and shake my head.
"Though I wish I had. But at the same time I don't.... Kinda weird actually."
"You don't say"

Night came extremely fast. Everyone was getting ready for bed while I was waiting at my bed. I quietly sneak out form the auditorium. I look to my left and see the light again. I walk down the four flight of stairs and lunge at the doors. I peek through the hole once again. I hear a slight moan. Shit. Then it got louder and louder. Soon a pale green and gray figure trudges beside the door. Oh fuck. What did that women say? They can smell you? I start to back up and run up the stairs. I hear a bit more moans once I reached the second flight of stairs. I go faster. Once I make it safe in the auditorium I look around the room. Shawn was already curled in his bed and Misha was by the gym door. Who should I tell first?

Pfft obvious. The one who's sleeping.

I run to him and I shake Shawn awake.

"Mm?"

"Shawn! Cmon dude wake up! I saw one!"

Shawn opens his eyes and looks at me confused.

"You saw a zombie"
I grab his hand and pull him closer to me.

"Not just one." I whisper in his ear. "Multiple"
