The virus that has recently been discovered was a deadly virus that wiped out humanity. The survivors now call that virus the zombie virus. My name is Esemae. I'm a 5 foot 3 girl with long hair that goes below my shoulder blades. The ends of my hair curled. My hair is dark brown. I was wearing a school uniform even though we can wear anything we want. I'm the student council president and I'm a sophomore. And I have dark brown eyes.

When the first zombie appeared in my town, Showsville, I was at school after hours helping the teachers clean up and I was helping assist the other clubs. As my duty as student council president, it was my duty to assist anyone who needed my help. I was walking in the hallway. The lights were dimmed which wasn't normal but I didn't care. I would just tell the principal the next day. The clubs were still in session and it was currently 5:00 pm. I arrived at Mr. Sam's room and there was a note on the door.

Dear Esemae,

I had an emergency at my house.

So please clean my classroom as you planned.

The key is in the paper box.

Please lock up the classroom once you are done.

Sincerely,

Mr. Sams

"Alright, Mr. Sams I won't disappoint you!" I thought to myself. I grabbed the key from the paper box and unlocked the door. *Click* I walked inside the classroom and turned on the lights. I shut the door since sometimes the students in Showsville highschool sometimes liked to scare people in classrooms. I opened up the window so I could see outside while I clean. I went to Mr. Sam's closet and got some Cleaning wipes and some window cleaner.

5:45 pm

"Finally, I cleaned all the desks, organized Mr. Sams's desk, wiped all the windows, and dusted the shelves." I thought to myself. I went to go close the blinds and shut the window but I saw something walking. I looked at it closer and it looked bruised, scratched, rotten, and...dead.

*Screams*

I turned around and looked at the door and saw some students running. I peeked my head out the door and I saw another one of those things. I shut the door quickly and started panicking. I locked the door, shut the window, and hid under the desk. I was getting really worried about my grandmother. I know she can fight but she gets scared really easily. I got out my phone and called my house, my grandmother answered. "Hello!?!?, grandma are you okay. Stay inside, whatever you do please don't go outside!"

"Esemae, why?"

"There are people that are looking dead eating people!?!?"

"HUH, *Crash*"

"GRANDMA!?!?"

*Phone hangs up*

Hot, salty tears began running down my cheeks. I sat in Mr. Sam's chair. I was wondering what I could eat for food and use as a weapon.

*Ding Ding Ding Ding*

"Announcement to all the students and staff members currently in school, please stay inside and lock the classroom doors. There is an unknown virus that we are just currently informed about. Please find a weapon that you can use to defend yourself from those things. I-I-I'll miss you all. Please be safe and help everyone you can. *Screams*"

I was looking for a device, I went to the backup room and saw a laptop cart and 3 bags of 24 count mini chip bags. There was one bag that was popcorn. The other bag was hot chips. The last bag of chips was normal potato chips. I reached for the computer and went back to the desk. I logged into my account and checked the news. *Click* *Ping* The lights turned off and the backup generators were on. *Knock Knock Knock*

"Please, Esemae open up!"

I ran to the door and opened it, it was Aaron. He ran inside the classroom and shut the door.

Aaron was a 6 foot 1-inch tall teenage male. He was known as the hottest guy in our grade. He had black hair with red ends. He was wearing a black hoodie and black jeans. I have known Aaron since 7th grade. He was my best guy friend. He was out of breath once I opened the door.

"Aaro-"

Aaron had his hand over my mouth.

"Shh." Aaron said.

*Step Step Step Step Step*

"Alright, they're gone." He sighed with a breath of relief.

"Aaron, I thought you were at home," I said worriedly.

"No, my sister was still here. But once I came I saw her as a zombie." He said looking very depressed.

"Why are you here Esemae? I thought you were with one of the clubs." He said.

"Oh, I was helping teachers clean their classrooms for the weekend. I had shut the door since I don't like being scared by the students. I had seen the first one then a scream, and my grandma...she...I think she's in trouble." I said stuttering and tears running down my cheeks. My cheeks started turning red. I started crying.

"Hey, it's alright. She knows how to fight right. I think she'll be fine. And besides, you shouldn't be crying student council president." He smiled. He hugged me and wiped my tears.

I hugged him back.

"Okay, Thank You for that." I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. I stepped back and started thinking of a plan.

"Esemae, what are you thinking?"

"Okay, in the back room there should be at least 25 computers-nope-wait-24 since one is being used. The school immediately turned on the backup generator so they should still have some power. If they have power someone would probably try to use that power for their own selfish needs. We have 72 mini bags of chips and computers we could use to call for help. We would have to find a weapon, board up the windows, and wait a week to go and lock up the school. Then we should find any remaining students and have a bigger group, we would all be on separate floors to patrol. Then we could go on from there." I said in a serious tone.

"Okay student council president. But if we have to board up the windows what will we use?"

I turned around and looked.

"We could use these desks and just stack them," I said excitedly.

"Great idea, let's start stacking," Aaron said in a determined tone.

We started stacking the desks. we finished stacking around 8:00 pm. We didn't move Mr. Sam's desk. I sat in a chair. Aaron was in the bathroom while I was sitting at the desk. The world was in Panic. I started to get cold because I was in a short-sleeve shirt, a lightweight black jacket, my red bow collar, my skirt, high knee socks, and sneakers. I was shivering. Aaron came back in and saw me shivering. He took his hoodie off and gave it to me.

"Here," he gestured for me to take the hoodie.

"Are you sure, won't you be cold?"

"No, I have weird body temperatures. I get really hot at night."

"Alright." I took the hoodie and put it on. It smelled like him and his cologne.

He sat on the floor. I checked my phone and it was 8:15 pm.

"Aaron. Do you think that society will be back to normal?" I said worriedly.

"I think so, it's only the start of the outbreak." He turned towards me. I had my legs on the armrest and was leaning on the other armrest.

*THUMP*

I jumped, Aaron had seen me and stood up. He looked and said, "There's nothing maybe it was a bird."

"Alright."

"Esemae, can you stand up real quick?"

"Sure?"

He sat in the chair.

"Hey you know I was sitting there, what are you doing."

"You can sit in my lap so you won't be that scared." He stated

I blushed and was flustered. I sat on the desk.

"Your choice but you can still sit on my lap if you want."

Aaron started to drift off to sleep.

8:38 pm:

Aaron was sleeping. It was dark in the classroom since we turned off the light.

"I guess I'll sit on his lap. Only to look around the desk. I don't have time for love anyways..." I thought to myself.

I sat on his lap and he was warm. I was looking around the desk quietly. I saw some scissors, a flexible stapler, pens, pencils, and rubber bands. Aaron moved his head to lay on his hand that was on the armrest. Normally I go to sleep around 12 or 1'o'clock. But I don't think that I could sleep with all of this going on. I had checked the news. Wifi and cell services were still going. I turned the brightness down. I started reading an article on how the zombies came to life, and how they're not fictional after all.

11:45pm:

"Esemae, please go to sleep. You will need sleep to stay vigilant for tomorrow." He shut the laptop.

"Alright, just let me properly turn off the computer to conserve battery."

He watched me turn off the computer.

"It's alright, I'm a light sleeper and I'll wake up if I hear a noise."

"Okay..."

I turned to where my legs were on the armrest and laid my head on his chest.

"Goodnight Aaron."

"Goodnight Esemae."
