"Mr. Molson, please refrain from talking during the lecture!" The rather overweight man spoke at the teen in the back seat with the mohawk. It was a odd thing to see in such an upstart which held many regards for being well disciplined and refined. The establishment was none other then the all boys school of Canter Bridge.
"Sure thing Mr. Neilson" Malcolm said as he rolled his eyes and relaxed back in his seat. His under shirt unbuttoned and his tie long gone somewhere in the mess he calls a room. His room mate was the handsome guy beside him that not only looked like the exact opposite of Malcolm but had a charm to him. His long, curly rich brown hair held some mystique to him as his reading glasses added a level of intelligence as well as cuteness. The girls loved him but it was kinda rare for being a all boys school.
"So anyways, what was she like in bed?" Malcolm tried to pry his friend for more information in whispers.
Raphael or Raph just huffed at the question. "Unlike you Mal, I don't spill the girls secrets due to me being a gentleman" He said straightening his tie and shirt to make himself look more perfect.
"Oh come on! Was she a bitter? No, no, no! Lemme guess!... She was defiantly into feet!" Mal just elbowed his classmate and best friend until they could see a shadow was casted over them. Raph could easily see who it was but Mal was sure he already knew. His hand reached out behind him and gave a squeeze.
"I get it big fella. I'll shut up for the res-" Mal started until his second squeeze. Something was amiss and what he squeezed was defiantly not a obese stomach. Mal was already looking at Raph who had his own eyes wide open in shock. Mal turned slowly to see the most odd sight in the world or at least for this school.
A girl stood wearing the school's uniform and a skirt as is custom with other uniform schools. He could easily tell she was Asian decent and her long straight black hair easily went past her shoulders. Her body was sleek but fine toned conditioning through exercise was evident. What caught his attention the most was her dead serious eyes. Those eyes could bore a hole through his head and he was sure she would want too in one more second or two. His eyes quickly caught what his hand was actually groping her large breast.
Mal quickly removed his hand in shock but also tried to stand and back away as well. All the motion and shock only made him trip over his chair and land on the class floor with his butt sticking up. Raph came in as a guardian angel like he was and spoke to the girl "Japanese?" He asked before trying to upset her further by messing up her heritage.
She merely nodded while keeping her cold stare on the man on the floor who just seem to do a freaky version of the worm. "Gomen, My friend here has a problem" He said by pointing to his head and making a twirl with his finger.
She set her things down on a vacant desk next to theirs and pulled her seat out to sit down. She seemed to be completely ignoring that it ever happened while the rest of the class was dead quiet with shock, even Mr. Neilson stood dumb founded for a few seconds before calling the class to order.
The rest of the class was spent in quiet as everyone would steal a peek at the new comer. Not only was it a "She" but a hot one at that! You could practically hearing the dogs tails wagging and their jaws drooling. The only ones who didn't go hubbidy-hubbidy were Malcolm and Raphael who remained mute until near end of the class. Mal was completely embarrassed but dared not show it and Raph was practically studying her. Something did not strike right with him and the answer was on the tip of his tongue. The bell rung and everyone got up to leave except Raph who just pulled his friend back to his seat.
"What the hell? Lemme g-" He tried to plea but he could see Raph was not paying attention to him. He followed his eyes and found he was looking at the new girl in the school. Yeah, it was a very new thing to see her here but they were all warned that the school was going to be mixed with girls due to the lack of schools around. Mal let his eyes wander though and he could see why he was really looking at her.
"You sly dog. You want to tap that?" Mal said with some elbowing as he figured the young man's intentions.
"Kendo" Raph finally responded as he picked up his own books and stood. Mal just sat dumbfounded but stood with him as they made their way to the door.
"Kendo? Isn't that what the Japanese do with those long wooden sticks?" He asked as he put his hands in his pockets.
"Yes. It's training in the way of the sword. You know, samurai kind of stuff" He said trying to explain it in a way that Malcolm would understand more. It hit the mark he was aiming for as Mal pretended to hold a Katana in his hands and acting like a character from the movie Seven Samurai. The two walked behind her with a good distance so they couldn't be over heard from the woman. "I had a feeling she had a certain way about her. Did you notice that she didn't strike you or downright berate you? That must have taken incredible discipline and self-focus. Her stance and walk also suggest training."
Mal nodded and was astonished to be frank. He never knew Raph liked playing with swords or any of that self discipline crap. He did however like to play match maker for some reason. "Why didn't you ask for her number?" Mal asked bluntly and was floored to see the more mature of the duo just blushed in a response. It was very brief and faint but Mal caught it!
"Those kind of girls are old school Japanese I think. Very formal" Raph suggested as he tried to recover from his slight blush. He had to admit that she caught his interest but like he said, instead of getting in her face off the bat would be a no-no. He had to wait this one out.
The rest of the day flew past peacefully which would be the last time they could honestly sleep with no fear for what lurks in the dark. The next morning came too quick as Raphael found his room mate still sleeping half on his half off. How he could do that was always a mystery. After a prod with a hockey stick the young man got up with a groggy feeling and stumbled to the bathroom.
A whole thirty minutes passed as the two finally left the dorm and found their way back to school grounds quickly. The sun shined brightly as it warmed up some of the groggy students. The first female to the school was the buzz of the class when everyone got to their home room. Mal was more then happy to get the attention as many of guys asked what her chest felt like. Raph just rolled his eyes and put his glasses on to go over last night's assignment. He could hear different types of fruit being called out along with a few students mimicking a wolf howl until the class room door opened and then silence. Raph didn't need to look up to know a certain female just walked into the room which caused a silence that you could hear a pin drop.
A solid hour flew by with nothing but a dull lecture of squaring numbers. While Mal was trying to nap the inter-com came alive.
"All students are to stay in their classes until further instructions! Remain where you are!" Raph thought it was the vice principle but she sounded shocked almost as if something was making her very paranoid.
Students looked at each other in confusion as a low murmur rose between classmates. Mal awoke from the morning grogginess and Raph removed his glasses. They looked at each other with the same confusion. Mr. Neilson moved from his small lecture podium and opened the door that lead to one of the halls. What he faced would be described as a student who was in a fight recently. Blood stained clothes and a limp in his step. His skin was pale and his hair tosseled but yet he moved for the teacher with his arms outstretched.
"You were to remain in your classroom boy" Mr. Neilson ordered the stumbling boy but the student paid him no heed. Instead, the boy got close enough to the teacher to latch on and bite down on his arm. Mr. Neilson screamed at the top of his lungs before falling back. The obvious creature moved up farther and took another bite from the teachers neck.
"God help me! Help!" He tried to cry out for assistance but the zombie already started to feast. Two more of the bloody creatures walked into the room at the sound of the screams.
Raph and Mal stood together with their mouths totally agape. You play it on video games and you see it in the movies but it couldn't possibly be true. A few of the classmates tried to help the teacher by kicking or pushing the zombie but none of them really tried. Fear obviously struck them deep inside and the amount of blood was pooling at their feet. The zombies that just stumbled in were now feasting on the two rescuers. Screams and pleas for help were erupting from everywhere at once. The classroom just degraded into chaos as students were running left and right. Some tripped and then trampled as it was a panic to get out of the door.
"Mal! Help me pick up the table!" Raph asked as he lifted his own side. Mal only hesitated for a second before helping his friend by picking up the table. "Aliright! Now lets make a battering ram eh?" Raph suggested with a grin. Mal just chuckled before nodding his head. The two ran forward like a couple of maniacs before throwing the desk. It slammed into the three feasting zombies which caused them to get smacked into the blackboard. Blood and brain matter was splattered against the board which meant it as successful. Humans 1 Zombies 0.
"I vote on getting the hell out of here, all in favour?" Mal suggested as he checked his surroundings for weapons or an escape.
"Were on the second floor so jumping out the window is no good. Guess we have to use the stairs!" Raph said before breaking off a table leg. It wasn't the best for a blunt weapon but it would have to do. Mal returned to his friends side carrying something worse however.
"An arm... Your kidding me" Raph said as Mal returned with a classmates detached arm.
"Hell no! It's just an arm, don't be such a pansy!" Mal retorted by rolling his eyes. Raph resisted the urge to vomit all over the floor but seeing the arm flap side to side combined with the smell as too much. Raph hurled the contents of his breakfast on the classroom floor while Mal patted his back with his newly acquired arm. "You have to get used to this buddy. These things will be a constant worry for us now"
Raph knew his friend was speaking the truth but he honestly wished he was wrong. Who would want to live like th-
"Alright! Let's go beat shit up!"
Raph sighed again before standing up and wiping his mouth. He griped his table leg firmly and mentally prepared himself.
"Let's do this"
