How's it going bros and bras? My name...is VioletDemon! I am back once again to write the next chapter of As the World Dies. So in the last episode, Jasmine and Demi have a little altercation which results in Jasmine showing her anger issues. In the meanwhile, we meet Drake Tyson while he comforts the distressed Kin Kido. So without further ado, I present to you to As the World Dies: An OC Story.
Last episode...
A freshman was smashing a bloody guitar through its mushed skull. He kept repeating the process over and over again, his silver hair shadowing his eyes. The people behind him could only do nothing but watch.
"Dude stop!" Drake suddenly found his voice again. "Man, stop now! The thing is dead!" He rushed forward and wrapped his arms around the kid, pulling him away. The kid kicked and screamed, words of "Stop!" and "It wasn't dead yet!" exiting his mouth. Drake kept him in his grip until the kid calmed down. Once the guy's breathing returned to normal, he shakily raised his hands and gasped at the blood on them. Tears formed in his grey eyes and fell down his pale cheeks.
Drake put a hand on the kid's back and rubbed little circles on it. "It's okay man, it's okay."
Everyone could only watch as they saw one of their own crying his heart out, burying his face into Drake's chest.
Drake shut the door kindly behind him as he and the new set of people entered the faculty room.
"Well..." he did his best to try and kill the silence. "My name is Drake Tyson! Nice to meet you all!"
Nobody said a single word as they kept all eyes on the newcomer. Drake quickly grew uncomfortable and feeling this, Jasmine stepped forward. "Nice to meet you too. My name is Jasmine Black and I am also a junior."
Drake nodded and had a look of confusion on his face. "Jasmine Black? Why does that name sound familiar?"
Jasmine gave a smile. "Probably due to the fact that I've had three classes with you. We were partners back in Chemistry class about a month ago, dissecting the baby pigs. You remember right?"
Drake snapped his fingers, like as if it just came back to him. "Oh yeah! You were that weird kid that seemed to enjoy cutting the poor dead pig open!" He cried anime tears and shook the girl. "Why? Why did you have to do such a thing? I loved-ed that cute piggy!"
Jasmine was hurt by the fact that he thought she was weird. Only Olivia knew this, but Jasmine has had a crush on Drake Tyson ever since the ninth grade. She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up and it felt like there were butterflies in her stomach. Too bad Drake was too blind to even notice...
Olivia's amber eyes saddened once she saw the depressed look in Jasmine's eyes. She knew of Jasmine's crush on the bastard, but the guy had no idea about it. What she wouldn't do to grab the motherfucker, shake some common sense into him, and shout 'She has a crush on you, you dumbass!' Thinking about it made her remember the first day when Jasmine told her about him.
(Flashback)
Olivia had just arrived to school by taking the bus when she noticed her best friend, Jasmine Black, leaning against the walls near the school entrance. Curious, she rushed over and realized that her friend seemed to be in some kind of daze. The girl stared up at the sky with a slight grin on her pretty face.
'Is she in one of her moods again?' Olivia thought. Intending to find out, she poked her friend in the shoulder and asked, "Jasmine are you okay?"
Jasmine jumped, brought out of her daydream, and gazed at her best friend. "Oh hey Olivia, what's up?"
A small tick mark appeared on said person's forehead as she replied in an annoyed tone, "Well nothing aside from the fact that you ignored me when I just came over here!"
The anger vibrating off of Olivia caused Jasmine to back away in fear and say, "Well I'm sorry."
"I know and you're forgiven," Olivia said, engulfing her friend with a hug. "By the way, what were you daydreaming about anyways?"
Her suspicions aroused when Jasmine looked away and mumbled something underneath her breath. Olivia smirked and repeatedly poked her in the stomach. "Come on tell me! It's not like as if I'm going to blurt it out to the entire school or something. So tell me!"
Jasmine laughed and playfully pushed her friend away. "Alright fine I'll tell you." She leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "I um...I have uh...uh..."
"'Uh' what Jazz?"
She was silent at first and then muttered, "I have a crush on someone..."
Olivia screamed in delight and skipped around like a six year old girl. "I knew it! Who is it? You need to tell me! TELL ME NOW!"
Jasmine nodded in fear and looked both ways to make sure that no one aside from her best friend was listening. Once it was confirmed that everyone else was engulfed in their own business, she murmured, "Drake Tyson..."
(End of Flashback)
Olivia smiled at the memory; even though she was sadden by the girl's heart belonging to another, Liv supported her best friend none the less. Most guys annoyed Jasmine while they steered clear of her, so she was happy to know that she had a genuine crush for once. Her heart gave another irregular beat as she thought more about her best friend. What she wouldn't do to taste those soft, delicious looking lips and ravish that slim, curvy body-
She shook her head. 'Stop it Olivia! Jasmine is straight! She looks at you like a friend, so it's never going to happen!'
"Hey guys!" everyone was brought out of their thoughts when Demi gained their attention. She pointed to the TV with a shaky finger. "I think you guys need to see this."
The teens focused their attention on the TV and saw a female reporter.
"At least ten thousand civilians have died while thirty thousand were injured and sent to the hospital in Georgia alone. The mayor has issued a state of evacuation, ordering any survivors to come to Atlanta. A safe haven is reported to be there: occupied with food, water, and-"
The sound of gunshots interrupted the woman and the camera man focused on the officers. They seemed to be shooting the turned victims that rose up from the gurneys. The reporter tried to talk to the camera, but another woman's scream hindered the audience from hearing her. About ten or so zombies were heading towards the officers and the camera crew.
"N-No! Stay away! Get away from me! Ah! AAAAHHHH!"
The camera man dropped the camera and the screen quickly turned to static. Everyone in the faculty room was silent as they watched a person's death on TV.
"Fucking shit, we need to get the hell out of here," Olivia said calmly.
Demi gave her a what-the-fuck-do-you-think look. "Really? Wow, I hadn't noticed!"
"Demi," Kin said, lightly grasping her arm. "Now isn't the time..."
Demi glared at her best friend, but decided to keep her mouth shut. Jasmine was glad about this, not wanting the shy boy to see her beating up his best friend.
"Can we save the petty arguing for later?" Jasmine said. "Right now, we need to worry about how the hell we're going to get out of here."
"Well all the doors in the school are locked, so the only way out is through the school entrance," Drake informed. He walked over to a coffee table and grabbed a napkin. He then used it to wipe the amount of blood that covered his nightstick. "Really, the only thing we have to worry about it is transportation."
"Ah right." The violet eyed girl rubbed her chin. "Does anybody know how to drive?" Nobody raised their hands and Jasmine ran a hand down her face. "Son of a bitch...Alright, I have my learner's permit, so I could probably drive the bus."
Kin nodded at this and grabbed the keys hanging on the wall. He threw them to her and Jasmine easily caught it with one hand. "Alright then," she gripped her guitar and handed it over to Kin. He took it without question and examined it. "Let's get the hell out of here."
And that's the end of Chapter Four of As the World Dies: An OC Story. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and will leave a review/favorite/follow this story. So until next time guys, I will SEE YOU...in the next chapter. Ja ne~
