Centuries ago this was a great planet, now it’s a husky shadow of it’s former beauty. 
Though the remnants of its former magic still linger it was destroyed by power hungry scientists. 
More tests to make more technology to go further, faster more this more that. 
Boom
It all went up in flames, radiation spilled out into South America from the global power station in Brazil. 
The nuclear plant 15 times that of Chernobyl blew its top. 
The initial explosion flattened Brazil and the shockwaves were felt from the Florida keys. 
But the thing that truly ruined the world was the nuclear fallout. 
it rained down everywhere turning the world into a desolate wasteland deserts for miles and miles. 
Now you live in districts to survive, but what’s the good in just being a number. 
Why would you look forward to a future of infant nothing, can you run from that? 
Where would you go? 
Where have the people who have escaped gone?
Is that a future?

Running from our future

I was awakened by guards bursting into my room and dragging me out of bed

"student 6420 the outskirts of the district are being put into lockdown, your cooperation is advised"

I really had no choice as I was promptly yanked out of bed and dragged to the lockdown center which is just a much larger apartment building that is in the school grounds which are impossible to escape. After around five minutes of being dragged around I was dragged up I don't even know how many stairs and thrown into what I was told would be my new room until the quarantine is over.

I rubbed my chin as I sat up having it bashed into the floor when I was thrown into the room.

I flinched at the touch of a wet washcloth on my face before taking it and thanking the person that gave it to me.

"Here let me help you, your head took a nasty hit"

The rather soft-spoken person helped me up and led me over to what I can only assume was my bed before turning on a lantern.

"Wait I thought we didn't have power"

"we don't" she mumbled as she shuffled through the medkit she had with her.

"So you have batteries and a medkit how" being the soft-spoken friendly student may or may not get you some favors from the guards.

"Wait are you student 5980, the student who everyone envies because of how she is treated by the guards and the higher-ups" "yep" her answer was short and to the point giving no room for questioning.

"because I want out of here just as much as you and your friends do."

"Yep 6815, 6174, and 5999." I sat there dumbfounded this girl who everyone thought was a goody-two-shoes has been trying to escape this entire time.

I knew her plan was probably quite sophisticated considering she even has higher-ups on her side just for not being a pain like the rest of us.

"I've been speaking with someone outside-" "WHAT"

"yes now shut up, I've been speaking to someone outside, a kid who escaped a few years ago with six others. He still has the guard uniform he used to escape and will be sending three people to get us one will give us the uniform and cause a diversion and the other two will wait at the exit of the tunnels that we will use to escape"

"roughly an hour so I need you to listen to everything I say".

˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳૰ꔷ°ꔷ૰˳

It has been around an hour and the plan has blown me away. This girl has really though, of everything, she even was able to find the rooms my friends would be in.

We introduced ourselves somewhere around halfway into the conversation when she was trying to refer to me by my name and we both realized we hadn't introduced ourselves.

I was awoken from my daydream by a small almost inaudible knock on the door.

Taylor and I quickly rushed over to the door opening it to reveal a girl with dark brown hair and tan skin, she was wearing a loose-fitting brown shirt with what looked like black ripped jeans. After a second of silence, she whispered

Taylor quickly nodded and the girl pulled something white out of a dark brown backpack that I didn't even know she had before taking off running in the other direction without a sound.

Now everything Taylor said is really going to happen.

The plan
