Teenage Apocalypse

Chapter 1: Teenage Apocalypse

If you had told these teenagers they'd be spending their summer fighting off death instead of swimming like they had planned they'd probably have called you crazy. The last day of school started normally but ended in a way no one seen coming. Let's start from the beginning.

Mercy pulled her car into the school parking lot. The cherry red 1994 Mercedes was an absolute beauty. She looked at her self in the mirror before getting out the car and slamming the door shut.Mercy was a beautiful dark skin girl with long flowing black hair that stopped just above her ass. She hadn't planned on coming to school but today was the day she decided to finally talk to her arch enemy, Cheryl. Cheryl and Mercy were best friends before high school. They practically grew up together, in fact they were each other's first kiss. But when Mercy joined a gang and Cheryl became the popular kid they eventually drifted into the point of hating each other's guts. Mercy began walking to Cheryl's locker before being stopped by Brady. Brady was practically a brother to her. He was your average pretty white boy. Peary white teeth with short black hair and a 6 pack tight enough to open a beer..practically every girl wanted him.. except Mercy. "Hey Cy are you planning on coming to the bonfire tonight, I heard Santana was gonna be there." He asked bubbly. Santana was Mercy's Ex. They met through the gang they were in. Their love was strong but toxic. With both of them depending on each other too much the relationship crumbled and they parted last summer. "I don't think I need to see her Brady." Mercy said annoyed. "Cmon.. aren't you guys like in the same gang or whatever, you're gonna have to see each other eventually." Mercy sighed and was about to speak when she saw Cheryl's long red locks fly past her. "I gotta go" she said walking past Brady. She was about to speak to Cheryl when her nerves got the best of her and she decided to leave a note instead. For someone who's beat people half to death she sure was being a little bitch. Mercy scribbled a note and slipped it into her locker before heading to class.

Mercy got to her last class and watched the clock waiting for 1:35 to hit. That's what time she told Cheryl to meet her in the supply closet. She raised her hand and asked to leave before heading out to meet her. She waited for five minutes before giving up and opening the door.. where she ran into Cheryl. "You wrote that note!" She said clearly upset. "We need to talk Cheryl.. it's been 3 years." Mercy said pulling her in and closing the door. Cheryl crosses her arms "so talk". Mercy chuckled to herself before pulling up a stool for Cheryl to sit on. "Look Cheryl this summer is our last one to spend together, we're seniors and we're going to college soon and I probably won't see you again. I just don't see how two people who were such good friends have to hate each other." Cheryl rolled her eyes. "Friends??? Were we friends when we kissed Mercy, or how about when you took my virginity and then left me to join some dumb ass gang. Don't try to act like we grew apart." Cheryl looked down.. "you hurt me." Mercy got down to eye level with Cheryl. "We were kids and I was dumb. I didn't wanna hurt you and I didn't wanna lose you. I'm sorry." She reached for Cheryl's cheek to wipe the tear now forming on her face. They locked eyes before Mercy leaned in. Their lips were about to touch when the bell rang to end the day. Cheryl pulled back and walked out of the closet. Mercy grabbed her hand. "Wait.. let me give you a ride home." She said pleadingly. Cheryl just nodded and headed to her locker. Brady walked out and ran to Mercy. "Yo Cy, Alex finally said yes to me taking her on a date!" He said doing a little dance. "You.. got the Alex "I don't date" Crane to take you out bro??? I've been tryna hit that forever, no offense" she said laughing at his expression. "Well maybe you're just not her type." He said teasingly. "I'm everyone's type she's just stuck up... can you even handle a, well ya know.. Black girl" Brady looked at her offended. "I'm best friends with one aren't I.. don't be stupid Styles." Mercy slapped the back of his head. She hated when he said her government name. She hugged Brady goodbye and headed to her Car to wait for Cheryl. She soon saw her approaching the car. Mercy got in and Cheryl followed. They sat in silence for a little before Cheryl spoke up. "We can't do whatever you think we're doing Mercy.. you can't just waltz back into my life using college as an excuse, I'm not the same girl anymore it doesn't work like that." Cheryl ruffled her hair. "You're just tryna get into my pants anyways." Cheryl said quietly. Mercy turned to face her. "That's not what I'm trying to do Cheryl... I love you, I- I'm in love with you.. you're my first love." Mercy said looking at her. Cheryl looked up confused and dazed. They stared at each other before Mercy kissed her softly. "You love me?" She whispered. Mercy nodded. Soon they were in the backseat of her car committing multiple sins.

A few hours later the bonfire was underway. A bunch of teens in the middle of the woods.. what could possible go wrong. Everyone arrived one by one. Brady and Alex came together. Mercy brought Cheryl. They hadn't really talked about what happened with them but I don't think either of them cared. Just living in the moment. Mercy spotted Santana smoking against a tree. "Hey I'll be right back, my boss needs me to deliver something." Cheryl shook her head. "You shouldn't be doing stuff like this.. you're risking your whole future and college admission to sell drugs" "How do you expect me to pay for that College Cheryl." Cheryl just walked away to get a drink. Mercy walked to see Santana. Santana Lopez was tall with beautiful caramel skin and a bad attitude. It's what Mercy liked most about her. "Well look who showed up, you've been dodging my calls for weeks." Santana said as she slowly took a drag from her blunt. "Yeah there's a reason for that San.. we're not good together." Mercy spoke up. Santana took the blunt and handed it to Mercy. She then pulled her closer by her jean jacket. "Did I not make you feel good" she asked. Mercy dropped the blunt and stomped it out. She then put one hand on Santana's waist and the other above her head against the tree and they kissed passionately before full blown making out. Mercy had always had a weakness for Santana. Some part of her believed she was her first love.She could be herself around her and not have to worry about pretending or explaining. But then she remembered the fights. Although as she tasted her strawberry lipgloss she started to believe they weren't all that bad. Mercy pulled back slowly for air. Santana's breathing slowed as her chest rose and fell slowly. "We can't do this San, I love you I do but I can't." Mercy kissed her forehead softly before putting her hands in her pockets and walking away. Just then the music stopped. "YO we're playing secrets and sins losers." Some random jock yelled. A bunch of drunk teenagers playing a game about revealing secrets. What could go wrong. Mercy took a seat on a log next to Cheryl. Cheryl rolled her eyes and ignored her. Mercy rested her hand on her thigh and smiled. Cheryl smiled too. "Who's up first?" Harry asked. Harry was a british exchange student. He had dark skin with brown eyes and a pearly white smile. Mercy had messed around with him a few times and honestly he was probably the least complicated person she met. "I'll go." Alex said. She turned to Harry. "Is it true that you don't feel pain?" There was rumor going around Harry couldn't feel ever since he was hit by a baseball at fast speed and didn't even flinch. "Well darling I hate to break it to you but I do feel pain just like everyone else.." he said with a smile. That smile never left his face. "I'll go next." Santana said. She saw Mercy's hand on Cheryl's thigh and immediately got jealous. "Mercy... who's your first love?" She asked with a evil smirk. "Well umm." Mercy kept her cool and tried to find the answer. The truth is she didn't know. She's not sure she's ever been in love. She knows there are girls who make her feel good but does she love them? Would she die for them? Does she need them? "Well answer the fucking question Mercy" Cheryl said as she pushed her hand off her lap. "I don't know okay. Why does it matter." Cheryl scoffed and got up. Mercy grabbed her hand. "Cher wai-" Cheryl grabbed her drink and threw it in Mercy's face before storming off into the woods. Multiple "ooos" and laughs were heard. "Santana you messy bitch. Why would you go and do some dumb shit like that, you think it's gonna make me be with you?" Mercy asked yelling at her. Santana fake pouted and grabbed Mercy's face. "I'm sorry baby." Mercy pushed her away and ran off to find Cheryl. When she finally caught up to her she was furious. "You are the same lying bitch you have always been. You'll say whatever to get into my pants. And like a dumb ass I fall for it every time..I'm so damn stupid." Cheryl said ranting. "You're not stupid babe, it's not even like that.. just chill out and we can figure this out at my place." "You think I'm going home with you?? Really" Cheryl laughed and kept walking. Mercy ran to walk in front of her. She didn't know what else to do so she just just hugged her. Cheryl's shoulders untensed and she started to cry in Mercy's arms. "No don't cry..look I meant it when I said I loved you.. I just don't know if I loved you first." Just then a giant explosion is heard. Mercy looks around confused. Next thing she knows zombies are surrounding her and Cheryl." Are those fucking zombies" Cheryl yells.  "Cheryl get behind me now." Mercy pulled her gun from the back of jeans and began loading it. "I don't need you to fight my damn battles." Cheryl said pulling a knife from under her skirt. "You keep a knife there?? Not even the point you can't use a knife against zombies Cheryl." "Do you really wanna argue rn.. really Mercy.. oh fuck it." Cheryl grabs the gun from

Mercy and blows off the head of the 3 zombies surrounding them. She then takes the knife and guts one zombie before slicing the throat of the last one in one clean swipe. Mercy stands shocked. "Holy shit.. that was hot."
