"Promise you won't tell anyone? Not even Misha?" I tell Shawn. Shawn shakes his head but then slowly nods.
"Only if you show me one."
Fuck. How am I going to show him one? The hole is to tiny for both of us. I tap the bed and try to think if how we could both see them.
"So?" Shawn questions. I look up and grin.
"Meet me by the roof at eleven thirty, okay?"
Shawn smiles and nods. Misha skips over to us and tilts her head.
"You guys talking about something?"
"No no. We're just.. Um"
"Looking! Um were looking at how the auditorium looks and how it-"
"That's a lame excuse! Tell me the truth" Misha cuts me off. I look at Shawn. I glare at him. Shawn smiles and puts an arm around me.
"We're just confessing our -"
"Friendship with each other and how we met. Yeah..." I elbow Shawn. He grunts and cuddles his pillow.
"In going to sleep then. Goodnight weirdos." Misha walks back to her bed and vastly goes to sleep. I look at my watch and set the time for eleven-twenty so we have ten minutes to get to the roof. I start falling asleep when someone touches my back. I turn around quickly. I notice that Shawn looks at me with big eyes.
"Why didn't you want me to finish the sentence?"
"Well, I mean, what were you going to say?"
Shawn clenches his jaw and plays with his fingers. "I- I was going to say-"
"No taking during night! Zombies can hear better. Now shut up!" A women hisses at us.
'Tell me later' I mouth to Shawn. He looks down and turns around.

11:20 pм
I punch the button to stop the squeaking. I slowly roll out of bed and place my hands on the cold marble floor. I crawl to Shawn's bed and push him off. Shawn scrambles on the floor and hits his head in the bed. I grab his arm and drag him on the floor.
"Hurry up! Shawn get up your heavy!"
"Can I just be the lookout?"
"No!"
I keep dragging him until we were at the door. I unlock the door and step out. A blast of cool air hits my face.
"Cmon before someone catches us" I run up the long hallway and dash up the stairs likes mad man. I hear Shawn wheeze in the background. Once I made it to the two doors that separate the stairs and the roof I stop and stare at them. When Shawn catches up he stares at me.
"Well aren't you going to open them?"
I take deep breath and burst open the doors. I run to the nearest wall and and look over the street. Shawn looks worried.
"There I see one" He points. I look toward where he was pointing. The zombie was walking slowly and his hands were scraping the floor. His clothes were ripped and his mouth was hanging open. I turn to Shawn .
"What were you going to say when I cut you off?"
He's sighs. "I was going to say 'we were just going to confess our..... Oh God. I can't im sorry.."
I nod. "It's fine"
I look back at the zombie who was trudging down the street. The zombie suddenly stops and turns to us.
"Fuck does it see us?" I whisper.
Shawn gulps and pushes me closer to him.
"Let's leave"
"Sounds like a good idea. "
