[b]"Right,"[/b] Howlite agreed with Nakamura, nodding. It was strange how much Ren seemed to mirror the Yami guy who kicked him in the face, while Nakamura was more or less the voice of reason among the duo, like himself in a sense. He beckoned for Ren to follow him and the group, the former seeming reluctant but otherwise left with no choice but to do so.

[b]"Kid thinks he finally has some freedom, now that all of this started,"[/b] Ren complained about Yami as the two of them climbed up the stairs of the emergency exit, still tightly gripping his bleeding arm. [b]"Should learn how to think and use his brain more."[/b]

Howlite sighed, wondering just how all of this even started. One minute, he was relaxing underneath a tree after finishing a few laps around the track, and next, he was being chased by flesh-eating cannibals. He didn't understand how this day could've had such a transformation so quickly, and it bothered him greatly.

Though, now was not necessarily the time to really think on matters like that. Adrenaline-charged situations like this needed action before words, and granted, they couldn't just burst through the entrance of the school and charge straight through a horde of zombies expecting to live, their options were limited and the clock was ticking. It was only a matter of time before the entire school would be overrun completely, and if they just stayed on the rooftop for the entire time, they were all dead.

When the group reached their destination, they spotted two other students. Howlite recognized one of them; Jake Sterling, one of the foreign senior honors students that he always saw lurking around in the library. Because Howlite had been a scholar of academic finesse, he had been granted the leeway to enroll in two less classes than normal students did, which allowed him to spend a good portion of his time in the library. He never really talked to the upperclassman much, given that Howlite's English needed improvement. 

Upon mention of the buses, Howlite looked up. [b]"I can drive, but..."[/b] he paused momentarily before resuming. [b]"I don't think any of us has ever driven a bus, myself included."[/b]
