A/N part 1: Okay, so I just have to say a few things before you can start on the second chapter.
First, I just want to let you guys know that the response I got for this story is fucking mind blowing. I am so thankful and happy that a lot of you guys were hooked, and wanted me to continue this story. Although you have to bear with me because I will be uploading a bit slowly since I'm busy af, and writing is what i do to give myself some rest so yeah. Thanks to the follows and favorites, i didn't actually expect to have more than 20 follows for a first chapter, and thus thank you once again.
Second, this story would be a lighter story than my other fics. I have been told in past reviews from my other fics that I am a sadist because I always put heart-breaking moments, or cliffhangers that results to murder the reader with the amount of feels. I'm going to be honest tho, I plan to put some heartbreaking moments and some other major feels in this story but I would be focusing in putting humorous lines (especially on Beca and Chloe's banter). I do hope I somehow make it humorous as I plan it to be...like makes-you-laugh kind of humor and not the makes-you-cringe humor.
And third, I currently don't have any idea on where to take the plot, so if you have any suggestions, fire away. I'll do my best to lay it down to the chapter. Also I am in need of a cover for this story. If you have some mad photo manipulation skills or drawing skills, submit it to me in Tumblr! Just make sure to put Survival Buddies, and bluecolline in the tags. I hope you would participate though! :)

...
"Did you find anything?" Chloe asked, while she checked her nails on the chair she was sitting on whilst Beca was still rummaging through the cabinets and drawers.
Beca groaned inwardly, rolling her eyes to herself because she was fucking annoyed to the core. Here she was, looking for a useful weapon to fight whatever that horrid creature outside the room while Ms. Fancy redhead over there was sitting like a princess, checking her cuticles. She turned around to face Chloe with a frown.
"I could use a bit of your help, Beale." She crossed her arms on her chest. She stared at the redhead for a few beats, but rolled her eyes when she just ignored her. "Bitch." She muttered as she turned around to continue her search.
"Hey!" Chloe called, sounding offended, looking at Beca with her mouth open. "I heard that!"
"Well it's the truth!" Beca snapped. "You're just sitting there looking at your fancy manicure instead of being a useful human being and helping me to look for a fucking weapon for us to get out of here and kill that monster!" Beca ranted.
"Well I don't even know where to look! You're already looking at the cabinets and drawers and you found nothing, what difference would it make if I look at it once again?" Chloe argued.
"Oh my god, search the whole fucking room, genius!" Beca shouted, pissed. Then they heard it again. Their heads turn towards the door, and they were once again reminded that they are not alone in the perimeter. It brought a shiver down their bodies, and Chloe gulped. Beca sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. "I swear, if I find that weapon myself, I wouldn't think twice leaving you here." She grumbled as she heavily walked towards another set or drawers to look for a possible weapon.
Chloe looked at Beca for a few more seconds internalizing before deciding to stand up and help the brunette in searching.
Beca only looked at the redhead through her peripheral, and a slight curve at the corner of her mouth appeared but was gone in an instant. She knew Chloe wouldn't be able to live alone, hell, she only half meant when she said that she would leave the redhead because she knows to herself that sticking together is what's going to keep them alive...well, at least half-alive since they both hate each other down to the guts so much.
It didn't take long before they could come up with possible weapons.
A scissor.
A 24 inch steel ruler.
A cutter.
And a lighter.
Beca called dibs on the ruler while Chloe got the other three. Then, they went through their packs to look for supplies that they will need possibly if they will be going through the door, and fortunately, there were bits and pieces of some pretty useful stuff. They both took their books out - and if it's a zombie apocalypse, books would be the last thing they would need right now - and some other unnecessary stuff. Although, they both kept a notebook just in case they needed something to write or make a list of. They both secured their phones inside and in Beca's case, her headphones too. Beca has a pack of gum, and Chloe has a water bottle.
So far, so good. And alas, they decided to face the thing.
They looked at each other one last time, a look of determination-with a hint of fear in Chloe's crystal blue eyes- before taking a deep breath and walking towards the door.
Beca took the honor of walking ahead, since between the two of them, she has the only one who has the bravado of facing the creature and also, a plus to her badass image. Who would let an opportunity to slay a zombie, pass right? But if the brunette was being honest, she's not very different from Chloe who was scared as fuck.
She slowly kneeled down, and peeked through the hole that was made on the door. With the limited vision she got, changing angles to see through the hole didn't really help, but it confirmed only one thing: it was freakishly and undeniably dark in the hallway.
"Hey" Beca hears, or felt, Chloe's hushed voice beside her ear and it made her jump. Chloe leaned back away from the brunette with hands raised.
"What the fuck dude! Don't do that!" Beca whispered harshly.
"I'm sorry!" Chloe said. "But did you see anything?"
"Unfortunately, no." Beca sighed. "But before we leave this room, we need to know where that monster is. Who knows, maybe it's not the only thing that's roaming around the school." She said as she pursed her lips to think. "Do you have anything I can throw that'll make a noise?" Surely, she can just scream...but that would only spell death to the both of them.
"Uhh..." Chloe pats her front pockets at the same time thinking what could be useful. She took something out of her pocket and raised it to Bec's eye level. "I have a Quarter."
Beca looked at the coin and narrowed her eyes. She shrugged and took the coin from the redhead and turned back to the hole. She positioned the coin between her thumb and index finger, and aimed through the hole, after one swing, she threw the coin into the hole and it bounced on the floor, the tinkling sound echoing loudly in the hallway.
They both waited in silence as the coin had its last drop, and seconds later, a groan was heard, not near but not far away either. With that, they started to move. They opened the now unlocked door and crouched down quietly through the hallway. It was extremely dark, so walking aimlessly in a standing position would be a suicide. Beca has the steel ruler gripped firmly on her left hand, turning her head left and right, trying to sense any movement. Chloe was following behind her, the scissor held upside down on the handle with her right hand, making occasional glances behind her just in case something was following them, and she seriously hope not because she would fucking run like it's a 100 meter dash race all the way outside the school.
They were now at the cross hallway and so far, they still hadn't encountered with anything or that creature, to be specific. Beca sometimes would signal to stop when she heard something and staying still to hear or see if they were being followed or if there was something on their way.
Both can't deny the burning sensation they can feel on their legs because of their current position, but they can't risk it. Soon though, Beca held Chloe on the arm.
Chloe looked at the brunette, worry etched on her face.
"Bec, what is it?"
Beva furrowed her eyebrows. It has been forever since she has been called with that nickname, specifically by Chloe. She turned her head to look at Chloe, and the redhead just stared at her worriedly. "What?" The redhead asked.
"Bec?" Beca repeated. Chloe's eyes widened a bit and gnawed her lower lip.
"S-sorry, that sort of slipped." She muttered, as she lowered her head.
Before Beca could answer, they heard it again. The main reason why she held Chloe's arm. There was a light tapping sound on the floor, sounds like footsteps, but were more like hurried. Beca took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly as she readied the ruler on her left hand. It was coming from their right, and so she slowly stood up.
"Beca what are you doing?" Chloe asked, cautious. She heard the tapping sounds too.
"Beale, I need you to open your phone flash light on my count." Beca calmly said, her grip on the ruler getting tighter. The tapping sound was getting closer by each second. She was looking at the pitch black hallway, her jaw clenched to refrain herself from actually shaking, her hands getting sweaty and her heartbeat getting faster.
Chloe fumbled with her phone, opening the flashlight app on it. She slowly stood up beside Beca, flashlight and scissor at ready.
"You ready?" Beca asked.
The sound was just a few meters away.
"Mhmm." Chloe hummed and swallowed a lump in her throat.
It was a few feet away, getting faster.
"One."
Chloe lifted her phone.
"Two."
Beca took a deep breath.
"Three."
Chloe opens the light, and saw two white eyes of an old man with pale and rotten skin, scurrying towards them all the while groaning and snarling, snapping its teeth. Hungry. And then he started to run towards them.
"Holy shit." Chloe said, her expression horrified.
Without any warning, Beca surges forward raising the ruler above her head and took a big swing towards the zombie. She hit the creature on the head, slicing it in half, making a disgusting crack and a gross lurching sound. Chloe squeaked at how fast everything was, and she subconsciously closed her eyes and lowered her head.
In a few beats, a lazy thump was heard. Chloe raised her head and looked at the body dropped in front of her, its head in half blood spilling out of it. She immediately cupped her mouth at the sight and tried to control the bile rising through her esophagus. She looked up at Beca who was heaving and shaking a bit, blood stains on her shirt and chest.
Beca looked at Chloe, her breathing heavy, and then looked again on the body on the floor. They were both speechless for a few minutes, just standing there not knowing what to do next. Suddenly, the body went back to life and grabbed Chloe's ankle. Chloe squealed in surprise, but Beca was in action in an instant, swinging the ruler above her head and cut the man's head off. Chloe kicked her foot away from the zombie's grip and stepped backwards, shivering at the fact that it touched her.
"Sorry 'bout that." Beca said, huffing out a breath. "I forgot to double tap."
"Wait, you have watched Zombieland? I thought you hate movies."
"Dude, fuck no. Of course I hate movies, but I play games, remember?" Beca stated.
Chloe nodded her head in realization. She looked at the lifeless body, and tried to recognize who the person was. "This guy looked like-"
"-Mr. Brewers. I know." Beca chuckled. "The douchebag who locked us inside that god awful room. I feel sorry for him though."
Chloe was silent for a few seconds. Before Beca looked at her with wide eyes, as she covered her mouth.
"Fucking shitballs." Beca claimed. Chloe looked at her, confused. "I just fucking murdered a teacher."
That, and zombie apocalypse was confirmed.
At least detention was over…so there's that.
...
A/N part 2: Okay, raise your hand if you think Beca and Chloe has a past before they became enemies! I guess I have to work on that particular plot on why they were nemesis in the first place.
Again, I would like to thank each and every one of you awesome nerds who followed and faved this story, especially to those who reviewed.
