Chapter 14
Our zombified teachers regained their footing, scrambling around to get past the table. I flipped up another one to hold them back, and another, and another.
“There’s no way I can fix this laser fast enough!” Cokie wailed, hands and gun still pointed, and shaking.
“Should we run?”
“We’ll be too mobbed out there—it’s either shoot here or out there…shit!”
“Do what you have to do!” I clapped my hands to my ears and got down low, closing my eyes so I wouldn’t see the splatter.
Two shots numbed my hearing. I opened my eyes and looked up. The monsters had been slain, their bodies splayed like rag dolls across tables and chairs. I looked at Cokie. She went limp, falling backward against the wall as she slid to the floor. I ran over and knelt beside her. She stared ahead into space and didn’t speak.
“Are you ok?” I whispered, ignoring the noise outside, the creeps clamoring to get in.
She trembled without making a sound, and kept staring.
“You did what you needed to save us. They weren’t people any more—they were monsters. Anyone can see that. Talk to me. Please.”
Still nothing.
“Do you want to go home?” I asked gently. “We don’t have to stay. We should just try to make it out alive. I don’t think we can handle what we’re trying to do. I just don’t.”
My question had broken through. She turned sharply to face me, her lip quivering. “No…we can’t leave! If my dad were here, he would never go without saving as many people as he could. We still need to try to find Connor…and anyone else!” Her eyes pleaded.
I needed a moment to think about what we were doing, and what to say next. I paused, biting my lip as my gut wrenched with heartache for my best friend. I knew that saying the wrong thing could crush her. She didn’t have her dad anymore, all she had left was what he taught her. The only thing that kept Cokie going was living for others, not for herself. Even if it meant the utmost danger.
I took a deep breath, and spoke. “Do you remember when Mr. Harrison was asking when you stopped stuttering?”
“Yeah.” She wiped a stray tear with a finger.
“I was going to tell him that you were the bravest girl on the planet and you could fight anything and do anything you set your mind to. That no one else is as bad-ass as you are.”
“Really?” she sniffled. “You…you were going to say that?”
“Yup.”
“You really, really meant it?”
“I still do.”
She nodded. I felt my heart expand three sizes as we both fell quiet.
Cokie dried her eyes on the grimy sleeve of her hoodie. “Thank you for being my friend.” She paused. “Why are you my friend again? I mean, forget all the stuff you just said. No one else is my friend.” She shook her head, fighting back more sniffles.
“I don’t know…why are you my friend? I mean, I’m no prize. All the other kids seem to think I’m bat-shit crazy.
