I turned around and saw my teacher, Ms. Illandria, motion me over hurriedly. It seemed she was just as scared as I was. "Don't stand that close to the window. It's not safe." She was shaking, her bottom lip quivering in fear. It was obvious that she was not prepared for this. Hell, were any of us? With all of the fucked up shit that was going on in the world, was a zombie apocalypse something we would have conceived us as an actual eventuality? Either way, I decided it was best to follow her advice and stay way from the windows, at least for the time being. Who knew when I would need to make a quick get away.

We left the classroom and began to congregate in the gym with the other students. It seemed they all had the same idea, though, I was starting to feel like it wasn't going to be the safest one. Was it really a good plan for us all to be in the same place? Sure, there were no windows, but that also meant that there was little means of escape should one of those creatures make their way in here. I noticed a few students standing off to the side - Mark, Philip, Cassie, Miranda, and Lisa. I started to make my way over to them, figuring that I'd stick with some familiar faces. Just then, Ms. Illandria grabbed my arm to stop me, "Please... please don't leave me." I could see the fear in her eyes as she begged and pleaded with me. I don't know why she saw me as a beneficial friend or protector, but it was obvious she wanted someone to be with her to at least keep her sane.
