Chae Rin's POV
"What are we looking for again?" I asked confused.
"Phones" Ji Min replied, I nodded.
"I have mine with me hold on" I say patting my skirt as I kept my phone hidden in my shorts under, as they all looked at me, I hummed confused fully lifting my skirt.
"Ya! What are you doing?" They asked turning around.
"I have shorts on, perverts. My phone was in my pocket... It's empty" I said, they all turned to look as I continued to search around.
"It might have dropped when I was running" I mumbled.
"It's fine don't worry, look around for one Wu Jin said patting my shoulder, I nodded disheartened"
"I'm telling you. They can't open doors" Gyeong Su loudly said to Joon Yeong who was holding the door shut on the other side
"Let's hold it shut for now" Joon Yeong replied.
"I found one!" I Sak said standing up, everyone gathering around her.
"Whose is it?"
"It's Yeong Ju's desk... her phone is locked" I said, rubbing a hand over my face.
"Do something" Na Yeon says, pulling at I Sak's arm.
"We can't... not unless she's here" I say, sitting down at a table.
"Maybe it's her birthday?"
"When's her birthday?"
"She's there. Give it to me" Cheong San says grabbing the phone and moving closer to the door as I follow behind him.
He nears the door and turning his head sideways tries to put the phone by her face which... I mean clearly would not work as her face had changed.
"Unless that phone is from the year 3000 It won't recognize her. Look at her" I said as she opened her mouth, face filled with blood as she growled at us.
"Hold it closer" Su Hyeok said, Cheong San complying with what he said.
"Ya... give that to me" I said, taking the phone from his hands and hitting the emergency call button before handing it back to him.
"Did you get it?" He asked.
"Of course not"
"You don't need to unlock it to make emergency calls" On Jo explained, walking towards us.
"Hello? I'm at Hyosan High School. Zombies showed up. Everyone turned into zombies" He said, I smacked his forehead.
"They won't believe us if you say it like that. Just say some sort of virus is spreading" I huffed.
"Then what should I say?" He stopped for a second looking at me, "They're not exactly zombies, but they're something like that. This isn't a prank. Everyone's.... Anyway, hurry up please" He spoke into the phone as he gave his number and name.
"They won't come" I was the first one to speak, sitting on top of a table, just as a female's scream was heard, and the zombies seemingly disappeared after the sound, Gyeong Su opened the door to check.
"What are you doing, moron? Close it" Su Hyeok said hurriedly bringing Gyeong Su back inside and closing the door.
"You scared me" He said in shock, I chuckled at the two boys inspecting the hallway from the door's window.
"Are they coming?" On Jo asked Cheong San, who still had the phone in his hand.
"He said they'll come" he replied.
"Did they believe you? What if they think it's a prank call and don't come" Gyeong Su said.
"That's possible, but I think it all began with Hyeon Ju... and she went to the hospital, so there just might be others calling with the same problem as us" I said tying my shoe laces.
"Call again. Tell them to come quick!" Na Yeon yelled.
"Stop yelling!" Ji Min said hitting her in the arm. "What if the zombies come back?" she said quietly.
"Give me that" On Jo tells Cheong San grabbing the phone, going to the window, possibly to call her father.
"There's a fire. Hyosan high school, classroom 2-5. It's a big fire!" she hurriedly says.
"Good job" I whispered as she hung up.
"Do you want to call your mom?" She asks me, I shake my head, one of the things I hate the most is people seeing me cry, and I know for a fact that if I do call my mother that would be the first thing to happen.
I was scared, everyone was, although nobody showed it. But I didn't want to cry just as it all began. For my friends and my mom, I would withstand it all.
"It's okay, I'm sure she's fine" I smile at her which she returns patting my shoulder.
On Jo, Su Hyeok and Cheong San were by the window, Ji Min was with Min Ji and Hyo Ryeong, Wu Jin was with Dae Su, all of them were on the side by the windows leaving Gyeong Su and Joon Yeong by the doors holding them closed.
Nam Ra was sitting on the last table by the window behind Su Hyeok and Cheong San whilst I sat in the table in front of her, chair turned towards her, when Na Yeon suddenly stood up.
"Let's call them again" she stated.
"They're not coming" I said.
"I'm trying, but they won't pick up" On Jo told her, phone pressed against her ear.
This ticked something in Na Yeon, that was suddenly walking Nam Ra's direction.
"Ya. Do something. Tell Ms. Park to come or something" she demanded.
"Back off Na Yeon" I huffed, not looking at her as Nam Ra turned her face to look straight at her, emotion gone from her.
"Do something" Na Yeon repeated.
"What can she do?" Su Hyeok asked.
"She should be doing something" She said looking at him.
"What have you done as our classroom president?" She asked her.
"What have you done as our fellow classmate to help?" I asked back, looking at her. Nam Ra got up from her seat and I scoffed, looking at Nam Ra, who walked closer to her.
"Should I go out? Go to the teachers' office? Will that do?" Nam Ra sarcastically asked her.
"Why are you asking me?" Na Yeon asked, annoyed.
"You're the one who insinuated she should do something, so what do you think she should do?" I asked, Cheong San pulled me by my arm to stand up and go to his side.
"Isn't that what you meant?" Nam Ra asked her, still with an inexpressive face.
"Stop it, both of you. She's saying that because you're our classroom president" On Jo explained.
"Ya, It still doesn't make it right" I told On Jo
"Right. You're the classroom president"
"So just be patient, okay?"
Dae Su and Wu Jin said respectively, but once Nam Ra turned to look at them, Wu Jin made sure to use his hand to turn Dae Su's face sideways as he too didn't look at her.
"You guys are ...funny" Nam Ra said humorlessly.
"What's funny?" On Jo asked, taking a bit of offense to it, I shrugged off Cheong San's hand off my shoulder, leaning back onto the wall watching the altercation just as Nam Ra turns to On Jo, a sarcastic smile on her face.
"Now that we're in this mess, I'm your classroom president?" she asks, her smile however goes back to what they could see as an emotionless expression, although you could tell she was hurt by their comments.
"We called the police, so we just have to wait a little while." Su Hyeok recalled, but someone wasn't too satisfied with that answer, groaning.
"But no one's coming" she yells, throwing a tantrum.
"Can she please be quiet for once" I voiced out my own opinion.
"Stop it! We're all scared!" Ji Min said, getting up to face her.
"That's why I'm telling them to call" She says defensively.
"They're not picking up! Did you not hear what On Jo said? She's trying! So sit down and shut your trap!" I said irritated.
"Ya, guys. Stop fighting" Gyeong Su said from the door.
"You remember that video I showed? I'm about to beat this bitch up?" I ask Cheong San, who confusedly looked at me before nodding.
"I'm about to beat this bitch up" I repeated.
"Who are you to stop us, fucker?" Na Yeon angrily spoke to Gyeong Su who, not surprisingly, got mad getting up, leaving the door unattended.
"Did you just call me a fucker? Fuck!" He asks furiously walking towards her but Wu Jin and Dae Su were able to stop him as I sigh turning around to stare out the window.
"We'll faster kill each other, than get rescued" I mumbled to myself, watching as the rest of the students ran around mindlessly, some of them still trying to escape but, none of them lucky
"Gyeong Su, let it go. Hold the door. I said, hold the door" Su Hyeok instructed, i turned around facing Gyeong Su as I leaned my back against the wall.
"Who the hell does she think..." He said huffing around angrily "Forget the door. Did you hear what she said?" He continued.
"Gyeong Su, please... just ignore it and hold the door" I said making a face to Na Yeon whose back was to me.
"It's nothing new" - "Ignore her"
"Ah, enough already. I'm going" he said annoyed
"Block it"
"Fine. Seriously -" And just as he was going to keep complaining about Na Yeon, the door slammed open and closed, scaring all of us but mostly Gyeong Su who fell on the group.
All of us leaned back as I took a step forward.
"Mr. Kang?" I called out, his eyes hesitated as he stared at all of us.
"Are you guys all okay?" He asked, Gyeong Su nodded, the teacher letting out a relieved sigh.
"Shouldn't we be asking you that Mr. kang? You came from outside" I said unconsciously sticking closer to Su Hyeok who was behind me.
His hand just knocking into mine gave me a slight relief that someone was there.
"She's right... You weren't bit?" Gyeong Su asked him stepping closer.
"No. Of course not. I'm fine" He replied with a smile - "Hey, guys. Let's barricade the doors first" he instructed.
"That's covering our ways out" I mumbled looking back.
"He's fine, don't worry" Su Hyeok said stepping besides me to help alongst the other who began grabbing tables and chairs to block the doors, as I watched the others move around I couldn't help but feel anxious about this sudden move, knowing that outside had been filled with zombies just until a few seconds ago.
"Get moving. Hurry. It's okay. We are safe. Let's move this. Stack them high" He instructed the others...
"Teacher, you called the cops, right? We can leave soon , right?" Na Yeon asks him hopeful, he curtly replies to her patting her shoulder as I approach On Jo who was helping stack up the chairs.
"This doesn't feel right... On Jo... something feels off about this" I said tugging at her jacket sleeve.
"How did he cross the hallway..." I began when I Sak grabbed On Jo's other arm.
"Girls... what do we do?" she began.
"Why, what's wrong?" I asked looking at her, but her eyes were focused on the professor and as my eyes followed hers...
"On Jo, step back" I direct her pulling her behind me.
"Mr.Kang, your arm" On Jo softly says, but he ignores her talk continuing to order evryone to block the exits.
"You got bit in the arm!" I said loudly for everyone to listen, which thankfully they do, everyone stopping mid action to stare at the teacher, finally noticing they all step back.
"This isn't a bite" he says, almost as if he's trying to convince himself.
"He said he wasn't bit" Gyeong Su mumbled, as the teacher continued to deny it by lowering his sweater sleeves all of us began to step back.
"It isn't a bite mark" He repeated.
"It sure looks like one" I pressed on.
"I said it isn't. Don't talk back to me" He said.
"Were you really bit?" I Sak asks again-
"I wasn't! How many times do I have to tell you?" He yelled angrily.
"Then why are you hiding it? Just show it to us" I Sak confidently said stepping forward before I could grab onto her. "Could you please leave?" she questions.
"What?" He says shocked, none of us moved an inch, we still weren't used to any of this, who's to say that he wouldn't turn out of nowhere and bite us all? We couldn't just discard of that option. We had to survive.
"Get out" she calmly stated.
"You want me to go out there?" He asked her ironically "After all I did to get here? You want me to go back out?" He asked unamused.
"Yeah, well, you got bit trying to get here. And now you'll have to live so you don't bite the ones who were already here" I laughed dryly.
"Get out!" I Sak yelled.
"Ya, you fucking bitch" he pauses "How dare you yell at a teacher?" He asks her angered.
"As if, it's a fucking zombie apocalypse, and you're dying anyways" I said annoyed, On Jo grabbing I Sak's arm.
"Get over here" The teacher demanded, yelling one, two, three times as his temper began to worsen- "You won't come? Ya" He said beginning to walk towards me.
"What!" I yelled back stepping forward but On Jo managed to pull me back.
And at that moment, everything was clear for everyone to see, he got a nosebleed, everyone rushed to grab eachother making a big semi circle around him waiting to see what would happen before On Jo moved out of her way to hit him in the head with her school bag.
My hand went to my mouth, as much as I had wanted to stay serious I couldn't help but laugh a little at her little noise and at the way he bent his head courtously.
He turned around, ready to charge at us, hand raised in the air , Cheong San rushing to our aid when the teacher suddenly fell to the ground.
"Ya. I think he really was bit"
"Shouldn't we get out of here?" Gyeong Su asked anyone, although no one replied.
"He's turning! Step back!" I yelled, his body convulsed in the ground, his broken breaking as he turned his body in inhumane ways before standing up and charging for Min Ji.
"Min Ji!" I could hear the screams behind me, I rushed over although not really knowing what to use to help her out, so i kicked his stomach which did throw him a bit off, thankfully Dae Su got there soon and pulled the teacher off the poor girl by his sweater and throwing him against the lockers.
"It's too late" I mumbled stepping away from Min Ji, a big bite mark just a little on the side of her mouth.
"Dae Su... what do I do?" She asked looking at him, tears forming on her eyes as we all stare at her.
"I don't want to die" , the time is cut short when the zombified teacher gets up ready to charge again, and this time I'm the one he's charging againt, running towards me I barely had time to move aside before he turns to get me.
"Oh SHIT!" I yell ducking at his flying hand, Su Hyeok comes from behind him kicking his knee and as he turns to him punches him before throwing him back on the ground.
"Oush, thank you" I say stepping back. Cheong San grabs onto a table and rushes to the teacher trapping him against the wall, Gyeong Su going to his aid as to keep the table in place.
"We need to leave. Now!" I said loudly, just as Min Ji approached Na Yeon who was trying to remove the tables and chairs that were stacked up, Dae Su could only watch as Na Yeon fearfully kicked Mi Jin away from her and almost into his arms.
I rushed to Na Yeon's side, helping her remove the stacked up tables and chairs, hearing the convulsing of Mi Jin who was beginning to turn, Dae Su holding her as to not bite others, whilst the teacher also growled but was trapped by the table.
"Ya! Su Hyeok!" I called out, he rushed to Na Yeon and I's side helping to remove the stacks, reality set in... We couldn't stay here, it wasn't safe anymore.
"Get out! Let's go!" He yelled at the others who rushed to the door leaving one by one, Su Hyeok and I staying by the door.
"Cheong San! Dae Su. Come on!" I yelled.
Dae Su threw Min Ji to the front of the classroom leaving, Gyeong Su and Cheong pushing the teacher away and leaving as I push Su Hyeok after.
But it all happened too fast and next thing I know a hand is grabbing my foot.
