It seemed like my surroundings were in slow motion as I stood in the middle of our university's soccer field. I couldn't explain what was happening because it was happening so fast. Just a while ago, we were peacefully sitting in our respective classrooms, listening to our professor, but in a blink of an eye, chaos ensued and my fellow students were running around like mad dogs.

Running here, running there. The panicked students were running in no particular direction, just trying to escape.

“Aira!” That shout brought me back to the present.

When I looked to my right, I saw a student coming towards me, bloody, with a bite mark on his neck and his eyes turning white. I tightly gripped the baseball bat I was holding and prepared to swing at him.

Afterwards, I immediately ran towards my friend's location, entering our building.

“Hurry!” Allen shouted as we ran upstairs.

Every floor had obstacles, so we had a hard time reaching our classroom.

Our classmates, who were sweaty and looked like they had just arrived, screamed in surprise when we entered and quickly locked the door.

“What the hell is happening?!” Maika, the fashionista and most dramatic in our class, asked in a high-pitched voice.

“Zombies” Darra, our class president, said quietly but loud enough for us to hear.

Roy, the tough and bully in our class, tiredly washed his face. “Fuck!” he shouted, kicking a chair.

“I can’t believe that what I used to watch is happening in real life” Franz, the taekwondo player in our class, said in a trembling voice.

We all screamed when the door of our classroom started to shake due to the zombies trying to attack us.

“Bring the chairs and tables here! Hurry!” Roy shouted while trying to keep the other door from opening.

I immediately moved, followed by my female classmates, while our male classmates were at the two doors, preventing them from opening.

After they locked both doors, we all helped to place the chairs and tables as a barricade.

We also locked the sliding window and placed chairs and tables as a barrier.

When we finished, we slowly gathered and retreated while watching the students who had turned into zombies.

I walked towards the other window where I could see the whole university and my muscles almost gave out at what I saw.

Screaming, running, and crying of my fellow students asking for help.

“What are we going to do now?” Amira, the quietest and most timid among us, asked.

“We can’t just stand here because any moment now, the door could break and we're surely dead if that happens.” Roy said.

“I have a plan…” We all looked at Darra.

“Spill” Franz said, walking towards Darra.

“You’re a taekwondo player, right?” Darra asked Franz, who immediately nodded. “We only have minutes before the door and window give in… Aira, Maika, Amira, let's work together to remove all the curtains and look for additional ones in the cabinets and connect them. And you boys will support the barricades, Franz use your skills in case we get caught. Is it okay if you're with me till the end?”
