CHAPTER 7

“School’s in session,” Erik smirked, slamming the last curtain into the windowsill of Romero’s Charity High School’s teachers’ lounge.

“Never thought I’d be back so soon,” Steve chuckled, settling down into an armchair.

“Me neither,” Ian said. He took a moment to examine their surroundings before collapsing onto a couch. “Where we goin’ from here?”

“Idaho,” Erik said. “That’s been the plan all along.”

“You think Jamie will really be there?” Steve frowned. “I mean, I get the reason behind going, but it’s kind of a longshot to assume that’s where they’ll go.”

“He’ll be there. Jamie and I always told each other that if shit went down, we’d meet up back home. That’s Idaho.”

“I trust you.”

The venom in his chest still hadn’t died down. Nearly three days after being abruptly separated from the rest of their group, Steve still couldn’t quell the feeling of helplessness in his chest. He wanted so desperately for them to be together, for them to be safe and away from all the wrong in the world. Most importantly, though, he wanted to know that Dakota was safe.

“It’ll be good,” Erik said.

Steve sighed. “I miss him.”

“Who?”

“The kid.”

“I miss him too,” Ian said.

“He’ll be fine,” Erik said, slapping Steve’s shoulder. “Jamie’ll make sure he stays safe.”

“I don’t doubt that. He is the kid’s boyfriend, after all.”

“So,” Ian said. “Who all made it?”

“Other than us, Dakota and Jamie?” Erik asked. “I don’t know. Probably no one.”

“I heard Desmond yelling from the second floor,” Steve said. “That’s where Jamie took off with Dakota, so I’m sure he’s safe.”

“So that just leaves Dustin, Michael and Alexis,” Ian said. “Anyone know what happened to them?”

Both Steve and Erik shook their heads. “Wish I did,” Steve said.

“I’m sure they’re better off than we are,” Erik said. “If not, we can’t worry about it. I hate to say it, but I hardly knew any of them anyway.”

“No harm in the way you feel.”

“I feel the same way,” Ian confessed.

Steve sighed. He tilted his head back to look at the ceiling. At that moment, all he wanted to do was sleep.

We’ve been going for three days, he thought. You can’t expect yourself to be any better off than you are now.

“Our first priority after we leave is to get a vehicle,” Erik said, drawing both Steve and Ian’s attention toward him. “I say after we get some rest, we go down to the office and see if we can score a set of keys off a secretary’s desk.”

“You really think there’d be some there?” Ian said.

“There were cars in the parking lot, right?”

“That doesn’t mean someone left their keys.”

“With all the commotion that had to have been going on, I’d be surprised if there weren’t any.”

“This school wasn’t on the safe list,” Steve said, his words more a statement than anything. “I heard it on the radio.”

“That’s good to know. At least there won’t be a bunch of zombies.”

“Kid zombies,” Ian shivered. “Ugh.”

“Not a good thing to think about,” Erik agreed. His eyes sought out a single wardrobe in the corner of the room.
