Life before this was hard. I was an outcast, someone that they couldn't talk to. I longed to fit in, and that is why this apocalypse kinda seemed funny and ironic to me. In this new world, I didn't need to fit and I didn't need to know what is new and trending. I didn't need to know who Lindsay was dating or who she wasn't, just to try to fit in. All I needed to focus on, anyone needed for that matter, was surviving. Being popular got you no where here.
Can't one just roam around and figure things out on their own? Can't we just live on the edge and push ourselves to new limits here with this new world? We can do so much here, but not now, not in the beginning. This was just the start and I knew, everyone running right now knew, that this was going to get worse, much worse. That might be a reason as to why I am planted on one spot. I just look around at all of the chaos that has just been laid out for me. I try to calculate my next move as I get knocked over by someone.
"Move it loser!" my old bully screams at me as we both try to get up. He look at me expectantly while I just stand there and stare. "Well, you will die, dork wad," he states plainly and I have fully accepted my next move.
"Better chose your words wisely," I say in a low voice that would be hard to register in any type of situation. None the less, this made Ben, the bully, stop in his tracks and look back at at me in disbelief.
"How dare you speak to me that way!"
"Surprised your tiny brain was able to register my voice, it was quite low." This only made him angrier as he ran towards me. I suspect he didn't see the thing that was running from behind me from him shouting. He tried to throw a punch at me, but I caught his arm.
"Let go of me you little rat!" he screams at me
"I am so going to enjoy this, and all those times you messed with me." I said in a calm voice as I spun him a bit to toss him right into that things arms. I walk away as I hear Ben screaming for help as it bites a chunk into his neck. I regretted nothing of what I have just done. I see it as we all need to live and we need to take those extra steps in doing so. I, of course, could of still managed to get past the thing even if I didn't use Ben, I just really hated him and needed him gone.
I now need to think of my next move. I could go to stock up on items and equipment, but wouldn't everyone be doing that? Thus that would mean nothing for me and way more of those things than I need to handle. I just settle with trying to get out of the city, I feel the back way would be best because the highways and such will be blocked with people and things which will surely get me killed. But then again, wouldn't the other smart people think about this option and thus bringing those things along with them?No matter what I chose I need to get out if here as fast as possible without causing a big scene. I know it will be a bit difficult trying to get out of this large city.
As I walk, I find many things that remind me of the past. The way I used to live was not all that glamorous in any way, shape or form. Life used to be very difficult as well and I feel that it is only going to get so much worse. I am oddly surprised at the simple fact that I see no one walking this way. But I block that out of my mind as the bridge in the back of the city starts to appear in the horizon, at this point I am walking. I hear heavy footsteps behind me.
"Hey! I am all alone, just saw my little sister eat my parents, can I come with you?" She says super fast and excited. How is someone like her, and seen what she has, so excited? I continue walking without trying to acknowledge her. "Is that a yes? Oh we are going to have so much fun getting to know each other!" Again, way too enthusiastic. I sigh and continue on my way, all she is going to do is attract those things with her loud and obnoxious voice. "I am Chelsea,by the way," Okay a little less enthusiasm, we are getting somewhere, but I still want her gone and out of my life.
"And I want to be left alone," I say in a way that I hope will make her get the hint.
"Oh come on, who possibly wants to be alone through all of this?" I don't want to talk anymore so I just raise my hand, with as much enthusiasm that she was speaking with instead. It was then that I heard the blood curtailing scream.
