CHAPTER ELEVEN

Sarah shuddered. It was cold. She grabbed for her blanket and realized she was not at home in her bed or even in a bed. How long had she been out? Her eyes fluttered open to darkness. They must have turned the lights off after she had dozed off. Good thing too, because a light on could have attracted unwanted attention. Some outside light came in, casting the room in a dull gray. She could see the whiteboard and the top of the walls, but where the light did not reach was pitch black. She felt around her and hit someone soft. Must be Lilly; she heard her snore lightly. The others must have been sleeping as well.

Someone stirred in the classroom. She heard a crunch and sloppy, slurping, eating sounds. One of them was having a late night snack. Sarah smiled. Could it be that Tommy finally woke up hungry and felt a need for a bite? She wouldn't blame him. She felt hungry for the first time since being stranded here. It must have been him; she never heard another person eat as sloppily as he did. It normally would irritate her, but today that tasty eating made her mouth water. God, she so wanted something to eat.

Maybe Tommy had something to spare. That was if he wanted to share. She crouched, not wanting to be seen from the outside, and moved silently, not wanting to wake the others. A tearing sound, crunching sound, and chomping. She saw a silhouette where they had left Tommy on the floor.

“Tommy?” she whispered.

The chewing stopped. Someone slowly rose and cocked his head. It wasn't Tommy; it was too thin to be Tommy. She looked at his feet. Someone big lay at his feet. Her eyes widened and she swallowed a scream. She backed away, not caring if someone outside saw her. Her back touched the wall. She pressed against it as if she could go through it. The thing in front of her moaned—a sound so guttural it couldn't be human anymore.

Her throat tightened around her vocal cords. She looked around for anything, anyone. The thing stepped forward into a beam of light. Dead eyes stared at her. A blood-soaked mouth made chewing motions, a piece of skin hung out the side of it. It was George. George had woken up from death. It took another awkward step, raising its arms, hands clawing for her.

Her heart raced, pushing her blood through her body and sending a jolt of desperate energy through her that broke her free from her paralysis. She started screaming. Lilly jump up, looking around in a daze and joined her in screaming when she saw George. The two geeks bolted for the door. Wooly hair flipped the lights on, his friend opened the door, and without a second look behind him, he disappeared out the door. The girl, Emily, exited after him. The zombie closed in. Sarah could smell its rotten flesh.

“Hurry,” wooly-haired guy yelled at them.

Sarah grabbed Lilly's wrist and ran.
