Chapter 1: New World

Chapter Text

 

 


 


It’s was a typical normal morning, Mason wakes up from his sleep, at 5:30 to get to school, it’s still dark outside.



“Alarm!”                “Alarm!”             “Alarm!”


*Uhhhnmmm* ,Mason starting to wake up


“Ah..another day Uh…” ,-said Mason

As he gets up from his bed, he walks towards his closet to get something normal, but most of his clothes are black and a dark color. So it doesn’t take long to pick something and starts getting changed. He goes down to the kitchen area and looks around to find a note saying that mom and dad are going to a meeting early morning, and left the keys for the second car. He starts thinking…


“Hold up? They just left me the keys for the car!”
     Why am I talking to myself?

So he decides to pack early, to get to school before the bell to get more parking space, since it can get pretty crowded during the mornings. Mason just got his driver license 3 weeks ago, so as long as he doesn’t do anything stupid, he won’t get pulled over..
....hopefully.


Then he receives a message it’s from Cherie one of Masons friends, and asked him if he did the homework for Mr.Donald for second period.
Then, Mason replies back:


“I'm getting out, switch to callings” ,said Mason


(Battery 99%)
(Switch from texting to calling each other)

And that he his getting off from the house towards the car now. After he enters the car and starts driving,then we called Cherie back.

“Alright what we were talking about again?” ,-said Mason as he gets out from the driveway

“What you forgot already?” ,-said Cherie a little irritated

“What? It's still early, I just out from bed.” said Mason trying to find a excuse



“I’ll say it again did you finish Mr.Donald’s assignment?” ,-said Cherie


“Well yeah, what else can I do” ,-responded Mason as he was driving now in the suburbs


“Will you pass the homework to me?” , asked Cherie


“......Sure?....” said Mason while waiting for the stoplights in an intersection to turn green.


“Thanks! I will meet you at school” ,- said Cherie

“Okay, see ya there” ,-Mason as he crosses another intersection across the road

*Hangs Up*

“Did she just lazy around the entire weekend?” ,-Mason was thinking


------------------------------------


(Some time later at school)

“Finally I manage to defeat the morning traffic, ahh...... I already feel tired and school hasn't even started. What was my first period.....physics, but first where’s Cherie?”, said Mason to himself as he looks around

*Pull our phone* (Battery 98%)

*Scrolls down and calls*


“Where are you?” ,said Mason as he enters the campus

“I’m in the cafeteria” ,-responded Cherie

 

Within a few minutes it took to go across the campus to the cafeteria.


“Hey! Cherie ,- Mason calls and pulls out the assignment


“Mmm-mmm....Thanks.” ,-tried to say while eating a muffin


“Give it back before 2 period starts” ,said Mason and then he went off to his first period class


------------------------



First period went by early in the morning, like any other Monday nothing out of the ordinary. Then it was second period as everyone took their seats.

*At the beginning of second period*


School announcer: *We are on Lock down!, I repeat we are on Lock down!*


Okay students stay inside I will lock the doors” as he walks up the doors to lock them. ,-said the announcer


“I cannot access the schools WiFi” said Stacy one of Masons classmates


“Then use your data!,- Tom raised his voice another classmate


“Hey no yelling, we are in a lock down” ,-said Mr. Donald


“Yeah “ said Tom and Stacy stayed silent


Mason starts looking for though and scrolling down the web pages.  

“What the hell, it has been a while since we last had a lock down this is something!” ,-said Stacy

We are going to Die! Shut up Michel! ,-Both Tom and Stacy said at the same time

"Okay class settle down, and let me lock the doors." ,said the Mr.Donald 
(As the teacher went up to the door to lock it, some else had the same idea and it wasn’t friendly)


*Tud*


"What the hell was that!", exclaimed Tom


Arrrrhhhh………… a noise can be heard outside from the door



*This is lock down stay inside lock down*
The school announcer said again


“Okay students stay inside I will lock the doors” ,-as he walks up the doors to lock them

*Tud*

*Knock*
(Again)

As Mason was still on his phone while Mr.Donald was on the computer checking for update emails, since it was a lock down.

*News Tab*

*Recent news: Man eats another man!*

*Investigators are on the case of the man eaters*

*All flights have been cancel across the United States*

*Video Leaked that the government doesn’t what you to know!*



Well this is something this is the only things that is circulating in the web, man eaters? Is the media trying to say like zombies? ,-said Mason as he keep scrolling down 


*Text from Ryan*



Ryan: Hey man this is getting crazy have you seen the news?


(Typing....)

Mason: You’re ditching aren’t you?

Ryan: yes, but do you know what’s going on!

Mason: I’m in school what do you think?”

 

Ryan: man Mason shit is going down hill out here

                                                                         Y: 28291710272276559

Mason: Alright see ya

Ryan: Get out of there

*Texting over* (Battery: 97%)



Then Mason looks up to see the class is divided into small groups not even worrying , laughing and joking around. And Mason signals his group to come here, made from Aaron, Cherie, Alicia, Ashley, Kara, Emily and Josh.

 


“What’s wrong” , said Cherie

“Yeah what’s with the long face,” said Ashley

“Haven’t you seen the news?” ,-said Mason

“No, what? ,-said Emily

“Look what’s on the main pages.” ,-said Mason

“Holy S—-“ ,-said Josh trying to calm himself

“So this things are real”, said Aaron

“Yup, Ryan just told me that a large horde is coming this way, they seem to be alerted by sound like in most movies.” ,-said Mason

“What? Zombies? Shit his is crazy!” ,-said Emily

“Yeah look someone uploaded a clip of the, in action” ,-said Josh

“Okay everyone look around the room when know one is paying attention and look your weapons and supplies.” ,-said Mason 

“Aright” ,- Cherie

“Yup” ,- said Emily as she was on her phone still  

“Got it” ,- Ashley siting down 

“Fuck it” ,- said Josh as he swings his arms around 


“No problem” ,- said Aaron steeping back and forward 


Both Alicia and Kara just knotted


So the group went in pars (Mason/Cherie , Ashley/Aaron, Alicia/Kara, and Josh/Emily)

While in the room Mason was looking through the cabinets and after his 3rd one he found two crowbars. (2x crowbars)

“Here Cherie” ,-said Mason as he gives the second crowbar to Cherie

“Thanks” ,-said Cherie grabs the crowbar 


“Swing without mercy” ,-said Mason

“I will” ,- said Cherie started to swing around the crowbar 



“Let’s look around for more things we can use” ,-said Mason


________________________


*Ashy and Aaron*

“Look for anything that will be useful” ,-said Aaron

“Okay” ,-said Ashley

After a few minutes they went to the west side of the classroom and looked through the cabinets and found a few bottle waters and Granola bars inside.

“I think this will do” ,-said Aaron

“Let’s grab this then” ,-said Ashley

*13 water bottles* added
*26 granola bars* added

(Alicia/Kara)

“Did you find anything?” ,asked Kara


“I got a wooden pole from the flag.” ,said Alicia


“Hmm.. I guess that is useful keep looking” said Kara


As both of them started to look around and sneaked into the storage room. It’s a risky move there is only one entrance from where they came from. Within a few minutes in begin there they found a box filled with leather, tape, and parts of chainmail from previous projects.


“This is heavy, text everyone to get that they need” said Kara


“Okay, what will you do? , asked Alicia


“I will keep looking, what else?” ,said Kara


——



(Josh/Emily)

“What else can we use?” ,said Josh


“What about this meter stick?” ,said Emily


“Pass it to me.” ,said Josh


“Alright” ,said Emily


*Text from Alicia*

Alicia: @Everyone/ we found some leather and parts that can be of some use


————


After that the entire group gathered in the storage room, while everyone else are still messing around and Mr.Donald hasn’t moved from his desk.

“Alright what did you find” ,said Josh



“Didn’t you read the message?” ,said Aaron looking around


“Well sorry, tch...” ,said Josh tired form


“Alright let’s see what we have here.” ,-said Mason crouching to pull out one of the many boxes stored in there.


As Mason scans the box he grabs some protective padding for his elbows, knees and the shoulders over his black sweater and his crowbar for now.


“I’m going to that hatch over by the closet in the back, to see if I can open it”, said Mason as he explains what he is going to do next.


*Message from Ryan*


Ryan: get out now! They have entered the main building

Mason: Alright got it

-----

 

“Okay, let’s go guys" ,said Mason to his group


Then the team were headed to the hatch when.........


“Hey where are you guys going?” ,said Mr.Donald the teacher

“We are just moving to his part of the classroom.” ,-said Mason


“Yup” ,said Aaron


“Okay if that’s w—“ Mr. Donald was interrupted

“Mr.D? There’s something going on outside, there seems to be a lot of people outside.” ,said Michael a classmate


“What are you talking about?” ,said Mr.Donald and started moving towards the door

“This is bad, if he opens that door we are going to climb like hell to the roof.” ,
said Mason in his head as he looks at the hatch top of him

“Okay” ,said the group in unison

“I will climb to see if it isn’t unlock” said Mason then he moves to do it

At that moment Mr.Donald opened to door to see what’s the deal (Even if your not supposed to open the opens during a lockdown situation)

“You guys go back to class this is a— ahhhhh!!!!!” ,said Mr.Donald as a hand reached out to Donald griped him by his shirt and dragged him outside the classroom, leaving the door wide open during the encounter.

                      Ahhh-hhhh!!!!!!!!!..............

Arrhhhhhh!           Arrrrhhhh!   


 ,-that’s what it can be heard as many weird and badly hurt people came in a


“Holy shit” ,one of the classmates said close to the door  

As the zombies started to go inside of the classroom and many students started to panic. Since there was no way to go and through all the commotion the team went through the hatch as planned

“Now let’s go!” ,- said Mason as he opened the hatch


Then the entire group followed Mason up to the roof. And two stragglers came along Tom and Stacy as they saw what they were doing leaving the rest of the class to fend for themselves 

 


Ahhhhhhh!!!!!                             Help!!!! Me!!!! ....
                                  Someone!!!!        Can't get out!!!!   Ahhhhhh!!!!! ....
     Get away!!.....      ahhhhhh!!!!!!
Ahhh!!....                                             ahhhh!!!...


As they left the room it can be heard many screams from there classmates where they just left behind.



“Is it bad that we just...” ,-Kara gets cut off


“Well shit!, how are we going to get out of this one?” ,exclaimed Cherie


“Parkour!” ,exclaimed Josh switching the subject


“That may be our only option if we don’t want to encounter that many of these zombies” ,said Mason


“Are we really going to be calling them zombies?” ,said Cherie as they all where standing on top of the roof from their class 


“What do you want those from Day Z!” ,said Josh looking a Cherie


“No, those things in that movie were sprinting!” , exclaimed Cherie at Josh 

“Okay enough let’s see how are we going to get out from this prison” ,said Aaron looking at the school

“It’s our school” ,said Mason tried to correct Aaron but he wasn't taking it

“Yes, our prison school” ,said Aaron looking back at Mason

“Whatever, let’s get moving and you two are you just going to stand there or are you moving.” ,said Mason to both Tom and Stacy

“Look what have our town has become” ,said Cherie



-The entire team all look around in the surrounding buildings, and they were smoking up and cars were not moving, fires everywhere including in the trees
In the campus and this is just the beginning.
