Chapter Two
It was a twenty minutes drive from my house to my
school and the journey was a silent one till we
reached the school.
On reaching the school, Richard drove into the
parking lot and we all got down immediatly the car
came to a total halt.
We were already twenty minutes late so we all ran
to the school hallway which was totally empty.
We dropped our bags in our lockers and headed to
our various classes. Richards who was in grade 12
headed straight to his class, and Donald, Lisa and I
who were in grade 11 also headed to our's.
We opened the class door to come face to face with
Mr Grimes or as we like to call him, we came face to
face withbaldie'; the school's most strict teacher.
"Late again, I see" our Math teacher said droping
the chalk in his hand on the black desk in his front.
"Detention for three of you" he yelled at us.
"But sir" Donald was about to defend himself
before getting cut off by the bald teacher in our
front.
"But, but, buh nothing!" he yelled again,
mimicking Donald.
"Detention for all three of you. Period"
"Alright" we all sighed as we went to sit in our
various seats.
Donald went to sit with his two friends; Jack and
Kevin, while l and Lisa went to sit at the back of his
class.
"Great, now we've got detention'" Lisa muttered as
she took her seat.
"C'mon. Don't tell me you are going to blame
Donlad for this" I asked her, raising my brows up.
"Ella, I never mentioned any names. Alright, tell
me, when have l ever blamed Donald for
something he didn't do?" she asked also raising
her eyebrow
"Uhh, A MILLION TIMES" I said like it was the most
obvious thing in the world. "And you were about to
do it again just now, I'm sure if I had giving you one
more second, you will have been blaming Donald
by now"
"Yeah, that's because he is the reason we got
detention. Trust me, if he hadn't been with us, we
woudn't--" Lisa was cut off by Mr baldie.
"Anything you will like to share with the class Ms
Donovan?" Mr baldie asked tilting his neck and
giving Lisa an odd look.
"No Sir"
"Well then, I will be glad if you could KEEP YOUR
MOUTH SHUT AND LET THE WHOLE CLASS
CONCENTRATE!" he yelled.
"Rude too" Lisa muttered
"What did you say?'"
"Nothing'"
"Better. Now open your textbook to page 81 and
pay attention, would you" Mr Baldie requested.
We both did as he said and as I was about to take
out my textbook, my eyes caught five soldier's
vans and two S.W.A.T vans all heading south.
Then I saw four more police cruiser and three more
S.W.A.T vans also heading that way. Something
was happening and whatever it was seemed
serious.
was about to shrug it off when I saw seven more
soldier vans, five soldier truckes, six S.W.A.T vans,
two ammo tanks and two helicopter pass by again.
The helicopter noise must have attracted the
others as l saw my other classmates also peeping
oustide.
I thugged on Lisa's sleeve as I showed her the
passing trucks and helicopters.
"Woah. Whatever may be going on seems very
serious" Lisa stated.
"Yeah. Really serious. About fifeteen other ha--"I
was cut off by Mr Grimes
"Ms Donovan!" Baldie yelled facing Lisa
"Oc'mom, I wasn't even the one talking" Lisa
defended. She and this teacher didn't really get
along
"Well that's none of my bui--" Mr Baldie was
interrupted by a soldier on truck which was
passing by. The soldier was holding a megaphone
up to his mouth.
"My dear civilians, please enter your various
houses, lock all doors and stay as quiet as possibly,
it is very important that you adhere to this
warnings. We are in an extintion level danger. This
is not a drill, I reapeat, this is not a drill. MY fellow
civilians, please--" the soldier warned as his truck
drove by.
Students in the class started murmuring and
asking diffrent question as some were panicking
and some were in total fear.
Whatever was happening must be very very
serious Ithought to myself asI was seeing
differerent people rushing home and more and
more truck rushing by.
"Everyone quiet!" Mr Baldie yelled as the class
was beginning to be very noisy, "I don't think
whatever is happening is very serious or might
affect us, so lets just quiet down and continue our
studies" he said but no one seemed to believe him
as fear was very evident on his face.
"O c'mon, didn't you just hear what the soldier guy
said Kevin; one of Donald's friend said standing
from his seat and kicking his chair back as other
people were argreeing with him and the class was
full of noise again.
"Alright. Alright, everyone quiet down. Lets switch
on the TV and listen to the news" Mr Baldie said as
he picked the remote and switched on the TV. As
he switched it on, a show called Drake and Josh
was on.
"See, if this was very serious, the news would have
been on by no--" Mr Baldie was cut off bya
newcaster on the TV screen
"We interupt this program for a very urgent report.
Good day, my name is Mark Hawkins from chanel
three news. It's just in that-." the newscaster was
interruptep by raster but came back on few
seconds later, "--eadly virus is spreadin-- raster)--
not safe out there. The virus is called the Z syndr-
raster-through a bite or any body fluied from an

it is important you adhere to the folowing rules,
firstly-" the newcaster was cut off finally as the
power went off. "This sounds very serious'" Mr
Baldie mouthed
"It is very serious" Lisa said laying emphasis on
the word lIS
The clas was once again filled with noise as Mr
Baldie exited it to supossedly go and find out what
was going on. It seemed not to be only my class
that had gotten the message as students started
walking out of their classes and into the hallway.
1, Lisa, Donald, Jack and Kevin all got out of our
class after some other student had gotten out. The
hallway was so crowded and noisy as people were
asking diffrent questions.
"Why is the power down?"
"Which kind of virus is this?"
"What's with all the combat vehicle?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Iheard as other students asked this questions and
many more as we walked down the hallway.
Everyone was squeezing through to get pass the
crowd of students as we were all rushing to the
doors.
I was busy thinking of what could be happening
when I was snapped out of my trance by very loud
scream. We all ran to the doors to see what the
cause of the scream was and we got the shock of
our lives when we saw what was happening.
What we saw was unexplainable, it was
undescribable, it was unbelieveable. It was
something we could only see in a movie, dream or
something we could only imagine. We saw THE
BEGINNING OF THE START OF THE END OF THE
HUMANITY.
Soooooo we have reached the end of chapter two.
What do you think they saw. Stay tuned till chapter
three and find out.
