Jasmine was sitting in class working on an assignment when the intercom comes on."This is not a drill, there is an intruder in the building! I repeat this is not a drill! Stay in your classroom until I say otherwise!"
Jasmine's teacher rushes to lock the door but forgot to put the cover on the door window. Jasmine saw a shadow approaching the door so she got the miniature baseball bat, which she conveniently kept in her backpack for just such occasions, and snuck towards the door. As she arrived something looked in. It's skin was tinted a light green color and decaying, its jaw looked like it would fall off if you touched it. Everyone was scared and confused, but Jasmine knew exactly what it was. As she ran back to her seat to get her backpack a girl, Katrina if her mind served her right, touched her hand. She paused for a second to smile brightly at the girl, not without noticing her streak of bright red hair. Then, put on her backpack and ran back to the door, opening it and taking a step backwards. When it walked through the door Jasmine swung her bat. It hit her intended target and it crumpled to the floor. She ran past the body on the floor and down the hallway. When she reached Nathan and Cole's classroom, she tried opening the door only to find that it was locked.
"Nathan! Cole!" Jasmine called out, "Open up! It's finally happening!"
The door flew open. Nathan latched onto Jasmine in a tight hug. Jasmine was barely able to pry him off.
Cole looked at her excitedly, "You really mean it? It finally happened?"
Jasmine nodded before motioning for them to follow her. They swiftly walked towards the principal's office.
"Where are we going?" Nathan asked.
"To use the intercom."
Jasmine opened the door to the principal's office. The principal was nowhere to be found but Jasmine didn't have time to worry about that right now. She quickly made an announcement, while both boys were on guard.
"The zombie apocalypse has started! Get to your homes and barricade the doors and windows."
And with that they set off towards their house.
