Chapter 1

First person

I was sitting on my sofa in my flat just flicking through Netflix. I lived alone but I did always go out and party, I also went to college but they are having work done and in the middle of our studies but I'm not complaining.

Once I was too bored I turned the TV off and stood up and then went to my room. As soon as I got to my bed and sat down someone texted me. It was an unknown number but I looked at it skimming through the text message.

It was probably just a troll trying to scare me. It said 'they are gone. All gone😈'. As soon as I clicked the home button on my phone I ordered a some Chinese off of Deliveree, the online food collector for all your lazy needs. If you haven't noticed I'm a very lazy person, always wanting other people do the work, stuff like that.

I was waiting for my Chinese to arrive. I then went skimming through the Internet until my phone then turned off due to no power. "fuck, I forgot where I left my charger." I said in anger because I was expecting a call from my deliveree driver or a text, either or. I then went Scavenging around wildly around my bedroom looking for my charger. I then found it plugged in next to my bed. "Jesus christ I'm stupid."

I plugged my phone in turning the power on waiting patently.

I then thought 'hey why not run a bath while I'm waiting.' so I went into the bathroom and started to run a bath to the hottest temperature. Yes it's weird I know but I'm used to it and it feels nice.

Then I heard my phones power on noise. "welp, now I have to wait another hour or so for full charge." I said impatiently. I walked over to my phone and looked on the Deliveree website to check up on my order. Turns out it hasn't even left to get the food. That's odd. "huh, well more time for my bath."

I then walked to my bath and stopped the tap as I got my towel and dropped it on the floor near the bath. I stripped completely and then I got in carefully and sighed as soon as I was fully lying down. "aaaaah, perfect." I said as steam started seeping from the bath.

About half an hour later the door bell went. "oooh, Chinese time." I said as I got out of the bath and wrapped my towel around my waist and walked to my room and got my dressing gown and put it on.

I then heard another knocked but it was louder and quicker. "ALRIGHT I'M COMING!" I said as I walked to the door and opened it and saw the Deliveree driver looking scared with the bag of Chinese in one hand and a metal bar in the other. Then my phone went off. I wonder why.

"huh, you look like you've seen a ghost." I said calmly. I then looked at the metal bar. "why the metal bar? I'm not a savage for Chinese. I'm not gonna hurt you." he then gave me the Chinese and I placed it on the floor next to me.

"w-well, not a g-ghost m-more the u-undead." he said as I looked at him skepticaly. "undead?" I asked. He nodded. I sighed debating whether to let him in or not.

"have you been bitten?" I asked playing along. I didn't believe there was an apocalypse. He shook his head a no. I then sighed again and shook my head while saying. "wait outside I'm gonna get dressed.

I closed the door but there was a foot in the way." P-please don't l-leave m-me outside wi-with them." he said now shaking. I'm a bit confuse of why and how he got here if it was an apocalypse or why he would even come out here to deliver in the conditions if it really is an apocalypse.

I then opened the door and let him in. I moved to the side then he walked in then looked around skepticaly. "I live alone." I said bored, then I remembered I was only in a towel and dressing gown. "hey, uhh, I'm just gonna get changed real quick." then my phone went off again. "can't I just get dressed jesus christ." I said as I picked up my phone. It said Ellis on.

I swiped the green button as I put the phone next to my ear. "yo, wasup Ellis." I said. "uh, there seems to be a bit of a problem." Ellis said worn out. "why are you worn out?" I asked him on the phone. "long story short. Zombies."

"this has got to be a joke. What's your name Deliveree guy?" I asked. "K-Kexer." he said closing the front door. "Ellis, do you know this
Kexer guy? Is this some sort of joke?" I asked confused and kinda angry. "no and no, I'm being serious, meet me at our secondary school." he said then hung up.

"welp, Kexer, it looks like your coming with me. As long as your not bitten." I said locking the door and walking into my bedroom and closed my bedroom door before getting dressed. I opened the door and Kexer was sat down looking out the window. "take your cloths off." I said with no context.

"sorry, forgot the context, I need to make sure you haven't been bitten." he looked down not saying anything. "please. I know we've just met but I need to be sure, don't worry I'm not a perv and I swear I won't touch you." I said. "o-ok." he simply said then he took his cloths off apart from his underwear.
"OK, you can tag along." I said before looking in a full body mirror.

I was about 5'8" with blondish brown hair, glasses and an ear piercing. I had a black top on and some skinny jeans. I was wearing some running shoes and black socks.
