So I figured I should show you guys a real chapter besides the Prolouge, so here you go! Chapter One of The End is Coming. If you like it, please leave a review so I know to continue this story!

Chapter One:

The Breakout

"May! Are you even paying attention to me?" Misty called in irritation. I snapped my head towards one of my best friends with a frown. "Sorry... what were you saying?"

Misty rolled her eyes and turned to our other best friend Dawn, who was looking at her pink Iphone and tugging on her school uniform collar in irritation. "Dawn how about you? Are you listening to me?"

Dawn looked up in question her blue eyes shining in confusion. "Huh? Did you say something Misty?"

Misty glared at Dawn in frustration and I laughed loudly. "Oh come on Misty." I smiled, hugging my friend with one arm. "You know we love you."

Misty grumbled to herself and got up from her seat in the cafeteria with her eyes narrowed and her arms crossed. "Whatever May let's get to class."

My name is May Maple. I am Eighteen years old and an eleventh grader at Masters Secondary School in California, the most academically achieving school in the state. My best friends are Misty Waterflower, the 5"6' red head and captain of the swim team, and Dawn Berlitz, the 5"5' bluenette and head cheerleader.

I nodded and stood up, besting Misty in height by about an inch. "Sure, let's get going."

We left the cafeteria quickly, and walked down the hall towards our lockers, completely oblivious to the scream that echoed from the cafeteria as we chatted to one another.

We grabbed our books and headed into the art room just as the bell rang, and I looked around in confusion when I didn't see anybody.

"Well this is weird." I frowned, dropping my books on my desk. "Where is everybody?"

Misty shrugged while Dawn returned to look at her phone. "Maybe we didn't get a notice and are in the sculpting room today."

That must be it. "Well, we might as well wait and see if anybody shows up." I sighed, and was about to reach for my own Iphone when I saw a flash of silver from the window outside.

I spun towards the window in shock. "Guys... Did you see that?"

Misty had noticed it as well, and was staring at it with worry. "Yeah... what the hell was that?"

I shuffled my feet uneasily. "Maybe... it was just a dog or something..."

Dawn, being the somewhat oblivious girl she was hadn't seen anything, and slide her phone into the back pocket of her uniform pants with a frown while walking towards the window. "See what?"

Misty tensed in alarm, and I gasped as though seeing it in slow motion. "Move Dawn!" I jumped forward and knocked Dawn away from the window just as it shattered, throwing ourselves to the left.

Something crawled through the window and I turned around to look at it and cried out in shock.

It seemed to be a mangled corpse of a person, wearing tattered clothes and bleeding from various wounds all over its body. Its skin was a silvery color and its eyes we black and empty. It groaned something and walked towards us, and Dawn and I screamed and ran backwards. It reached forward to bite at us when it suddenly just dropped to the floor, its head smashed in two.

Dawn and I looked up to see Misty holding a chair above her head, her eyes dark with fear. "Come on you idiots! We have to go!"

We scrambled to our feet and I sucked in a breath. "Wait Misty... is this what I think it is?"

Misty trembled in fear, and Dawn looked around wildly, all her former oblivious self gone for the moment.

"I... I think this is what you think it is May." She whispered, and I sighed and threw open the closets looking for something in particular. "Alright. Misty guard the door, Dawn, guard the windows."

Both girls moved to where I had asked then, Dawn making sure to grab a chair the same way Misty had.

"So this is the end then ladies?" Dawn whispered, and I felt a small tear escape my eye. I shook it away though, and I pulled out what I had been looking for. The classrooms 20 inch paper cutter. I threw it on the ground forcefully, letting the plastic shatter white I picked up the blade. This would have to do. I walked over to the teachers desk and pulled out some duct tape, wrapping it around the end of the blade and placing one hand over it.

"No Dawn." I whispered. "The three of us will survive. We just have to be smart about this. Smart and careful. Now let's go."

Misty looked outside and gently shut the door before we could make our way out. "No good guys. There are those things outside everywhere. We need to sneak through the window."

Dawn gulped. "Speaking of those things... what are they exactly?"

Misty shrugged. "Zombies, Walkers, Undead, whatever you want to call them."

I tapped my chin thoughtfully. "Hang on guys, even if we leave the room, how are we going to get anywhere? We can't just roam the streets."

"Did the teacher leave any keys in the drawers?" Misty suggested. "We could borrow his car until we come across a new one."

"But that's stealing!" Dawn protested, and I rolled my eyes and smacked the back of her head. "Dawn! We're in the middle of an apocalypse and you're worried about stealing?"

Dawn grinned sheepishly and shook her head. "Guess not."

Misty rummaged through the drawers with a frown until she beamed and held up a car key labelled with a dodge symbol on it. "Bingo." She grinned and tossed them to Dawn. "You're driving girl."

Dawn nodded and turned to the open window. "How do we know there are no Zombies outside the window."

Misty winced and shoved me forward. "May has the knife, she can check."

I growled lowly, but still cautiously stepped forward, looking out the window. I looked up around and didn't see anything, so I held up my hand to signal them to come closer.

"Alright Dawn, you're up." I whispered to the bluenette, who nodded and sneakily climbed out of the window and stealthy walked forward to hide beneath the pine trees. She smiled at us when she knelt down and I gestured for Misty to go next. One the red head made her way beside Dawn, I jumped, and made my way over to the three girls.

"Alright Dawn, here is where your stealth comes in." Misty whispered. "Make your way over to the side of the building. The parking lot is behind that corner. Then tap the unlock button."

Just as the girl was about to go I stopped her and gave her the blade I had crafted. "Just in case." I whispered to her. Dawn took a shuddering breath and stalked down the wall, and turned her head softly around the corner. I saw her tap the key with one finger, and then she turned to us with her eyes lit up in excitement. She waved us forward and Misty and I shared glances before shrugging and following her.

We managed to keep walking without any confrontations from walkers. I shuddered, thinking about how they are all probably inside the school still, attacking more students. Dawn kept pressing the key until we found the car we we're borrowing. A titanium coloured dodge caravan, with tinted windows.

"I don't think there would be a walker inside this thing." I whispered to Misty, who was looking uncertain. "It was locked."

Misty frowned. "Just in case." She mumbled back, and she cracked the door open a little bit, and when she saw no walker she pulled the van open all the way. Nothing inside.

Dawn jumped into the drivers seat and I jumped into the passenger seat. Misty sat in the back with her phone, desperately trying to find out what was going on. From what she could gather, news reports said walkers were taking over America slowly, and neighbouring countries were trying to solidify themselves opposed to helping. Although that made me slightly angry, I knew it was better this way. Why risk saving people to zombies when you can refrain and protect your own people. Survival of the fittest.

We started up the car and sped out of the school parking lot. "Well ladies?" Dawn sighed, fixing her rear view mirror to see if we we're being followed. "Where am I headed?"

I frowned and turned to look at my friends. "We're any of your parents home from work today?"

Misty shook her head and sighed. "My parents are never home."

Dawn looked like she was trying not to cry. "My Mom had a meeting today."

"We should probably go to my house then." I winced. "My parents aren't home either, but my place is closest. Plus, I have supplies for us all. Clothes specifically."

Misty looked at our basic school uniform and nodded. "Yeah, clothes are a must. I'm not surviving an apocalypse in this thing."

So Dawn began to drive in the direction of my house, all of us holding a heavy heart and expressions that tried to be brave, but we're clouding with fear.

I hope this is a good first chapter :D Leave a review if I should continue this story, because I really think its got a good plot line so far!

Love Ya!
