Advanced Composition Period 6: Zombie Apocalypse

[Zoe]

Zoe breathes a sigh of relief as Matt opens the door for her and she rushes inside, still clutching the Janitor's broomstick. She glances around the media center, still illuminated by one of the lamps above the tables, and tries to discern who of the the original group still remains. After her breathing has slowed, she looks to Matt with raised eyebrows.
"What did I miss?"

[Zoe]

Realizing that a plastic knife probably won't be very helpful, she sets it aside in favor of a broom from the janitor's closet. When she pushes the door open, slowly, the hallway is, for the moment, clear of zombies. She quietly slips to the corner of the hall and looks around; there are three zombies close by. This may be her only chance to get back to the others, so she makes a split second decision and lumbers into the hallway, walking disjointedly in an effort to mimic the zombies. When she gets to the end of the hall, she sprints for the doors to the media center.

((I couldn't tell what room we're in at this point. Gym, media center...?))

((The knife is plastic, left over from a holiday party))

It's a plastic knife from Mrs. Storey's room I promise she actually has a box of plastic utensils

[Zoe]

Zoe was stuck in a janitor's closet for a few hours while the Zombies lumbered through the hallways. She thought she heard someone run by, but she couldn't be sure.
It's now or never
She tells herself as she carefully grips the doorknob. If there was a zombie outside, she would have to be ready to act quickly. She wrapped her free hand around the knife tucked into the waistband of her jeans.
"One." Deep breath. "Two." She squeezed her eyes shut. "Three."

Zoe knocked on the media center doors.
"Hey! Open the door!"
After a few seconds, Zoe could hear the chairs and tables being shifted away and the door was pulled open from the inside. She set the box of weapons on the floor and pulled out a knife and a heavy aluminum baseball bat.
"Here. Take these. I'm going to find Irene."
Zoe pulled the door open a crack and slipped back into the zombie-infested hallways, headed in the direction she thought Irene had gone.

Zoe squinted at the person in front of her.
"Crap! Shreya! Hey, Shreya, wake up!"
She shook Shreya's shoulder, trying to get her to wake up. She had no way to defend both of them if the zombies found the room. She tried to wake Shreya up for a little longer and then shook her head.
I have to get out of here.
Zoe grabbed the only box with weapons and then slipped quietly to the door. It opened with a soft creak and then Zoe was gone, leaving Shreya alone in the black back room.

As she sorts through the old boxes in the back room, Zoe hears the door shut behind her. She spins around, trying to peer through the dark to see who--or what--entered the room.
"Hello?"
She slowly reached behind her, her hand groping the counter top for anything even remotely resembling a weapon, anything she could use to defend herself.

[Zoe]

Zoe watches Irene until the doors slam shut again and then drifts back towards the center of the media center.
Maybe I should get out of here. It'll be harder to survive when I'm worrying about everyone else, too
"Guys, I'm going to go see what's going on. Watch the door and be careful. I'll see if I can find any weapons in the classrooms."
She slowly pushes open the door and, after a quick head check, darts out of the media center and heads towards the classrooms.
