You Can't Cuddle With A Zombie

We headed down the hallway toward the cafeteria. We all stood in front of the cafeteria where Mayor Reed was smiling like an idiot. 

I spotted my uncle and Debby and called them over. Everyone started speaking at once. 

Mayor Reed cleared his throat, and everyone suddenly became silent.  

"What is going on outside is real," He said, looking around the room.  "The zombies numbers have been doubling by the days. We suspect that they have been coming from other near by towns. We have fixed a radio and it seems- that this zombie apocalypse has been happening all around the world. There is a place in Washington D.C, completely isloted from the rest of the world. They want any humans who have survived to be there. In one week, we head to Washington D.C. But we must all get ready for the war ahead." 

Washington D.C was a two days away in our own lives, without rest stops. Imagine how long it would take with being attacked with zombies? 

***********************************************************************************

To get everyone ready, Mayor Reed had everyone learn to use a gun. He had transformed the Gym into a shooting range. Me, and Alyssa were entering the gym, looking for Jeremy and Dominic. Alyssa and Jeremy have been inseparable since he came here. I mean I don't blame them. They were the only family they had left. 

I waved to uncle Bobby who had been a few rows away. When we reached Jeremy and Dominic, they were both agruing.

"OK no way dude I made bullseye before you," I heard Dominic say, smirking. I've never seen this kid smirk before in my life. Hell I've never heard him talk. 

"yeah sure, keep telling yourself that," Jeremy joked, punching him in the shoulder. When he turned and saw us watching, he smiled. But not at Alyssa. 

At me. 

A small blush appeared on my cheeks. 

"And what are you girls doing here?" Dominic asked, smirking as he looked at Alyssa. Alyssa rolled her eyes, then turned to me. "Dominic thinks girls shouldn't shoot," She said, crossing her arms. 

"They can't," He said, looking at his shotgun before putting more aimo in it. I laughed and took the gun away from him. 

"You shoot?" Jeremy asked, a sly smile on his face. I took the gun and aimed it right for the middle of the target sign. I shot three rounds and they all made it to the middle. I turned back to Jeremy and DOminic, who had there jaws open. I smirked. 

"Yes, I shoot. You were saying, Dominic," I said, batting my eyes. He rolled his eyes.

“Whatever,” He said, then he turned to Alyssa. “Can you shoot like her too?” He asked. Alyssa shook her head.

“I can’t even hold a gun right,” She giggled. Dominic smirked. He seems to really like Alyssa. Aw so cute.

“Come over here and I’ll show you.”

A very red Alyssa followed Dominic across the room. 

Jeremy laughed as he shook his head, as he went back to shooting. I set up next to him and starting shooting.

Alyssa's POV

I followed Dominic across the gym. I don't know why but every time I was near him I forgot about everything. My parents, the zombies, everything. I don't know how he does it. 

"Do you really not know how to hold a gun," He asked, crossing his arms. I shook my head. He rollled his eyes but motioned me to come closer. He placed me in front of him and handed me his gun. 

"Aim at the target," He said. I followed his directions and aimed at the draw picture of the bullseye target. 

"Ok, good," He moved in closer to me. I could feel him breathing down my neck. He placed his hand over my hand that was on the trigger. My heartbeat started racing. The beating was pounding on my ears really loud, but Apparently he didn't notice. 

"Ok now first, you have to relax," He whispered into my ear. How the hell was that going to happen if your this close to me. Despite my body's protest, I relaxed. 

"Good," he whispered. I looked up at him and ours eyes locked. 

"Whats next?" I whispered, as my eyes moved from his eyes to his lips. 

"And now," He leaned in, minimizing the space between us. "You kiss me." 

I smirked as I leaned him. But before our lips could meet, I heard someone screaming behind me.
