even know that we are back here.
I say keep running until we get to somewhere that doesn’t have dead
people trying to eat us,” Drew assured.
    “ You mean a safe haven?”
Beetle asked.
    “ Exactly. I was thinking
the storm shelter. It’s fenced in. It also has computers, phones, a
television, and food. Pretty much everything we will need until our
parents come for us. Plus we would be safe once Hurricane Angel
hits. We don’t stand a chance either way in this classroom. Not
against the Eaters or the hurricane.” Drew looked around the room for
support.
    “ You don’t have parents
and your mom won’t come for you,” Royal barked, “I say enjoy the
free time while we can.”
    Drew ignored Royal. “Listen, everybody. Time
is running out. You decide.”
    Royal turned his nose up
at Drew. “You will get everybody killed! You saw what those things are doing to us
out there!”
    Royal turned to face his peers. “Listen,
y’all. We make our stand here until someone comes for us. We don’t
know what’s going on outside those doors. We have Kaleb here with
the stick. That will protect us. You saw how he took care of Lakely
and Josefina. I say we stay here until help arrives or if nobody
agrees then we go to the cafeteria. While there have us a little
fun with no rules while the world ends. I vote and say lets go out
with a bang!”
    Half of the students cheered and moved
towards Royal. The others stirred amongst each other and discussed
options.
    “ Okay, we can at least
make it to the cafeteria. There is plenty of food there. We can do
our own thing until the police and our parents get here,” Royal
tried to rationalize.
    “ There is food in the
storm shelter and it’s safer. Dr. Breland mentioned the cafeteria
being in bad shape earlier,” Drew warned.
    “ The principal is dead,”
Royal dryly said.
    “ I am so with you
sweetie,” Ashley, the captain of the cheerleading squad, beamed as
she snuggled up to Royal. “After this is all over, I am going to
make sure daddy pays for us both a nice manicure and pedicure at
the casino spa.” Ashley plastered kisses all over Royal’s cheek
before walking near Mrs. Westwood’s body. She wanted to retrieve
the cell phone to see for herself if it was dead.
    “ It will never be over,”
Tarynn mumbled. She had her bible open reading
scriptures.
    “ Do you have anything else
better to do, Ashley besides think about yourself?” Sue Ellen
asked. “The end of times are here and all of you morons are
thinking about yourselves.”
    “ I’m not thinking of
myself reject,” Ashley snobbishly said, “I’ve invited Royal as
well.”
    “ Dookey breath,” Sue Ellen
whispered as she rolled her eyes. Mater giggled lightly.
    “ What are we going to do
without a cell phone? I can’t believe I lost mine on the way over
here,” Ashley pouted as she stood near Mrs. Westwood’s body. She
dropped Mrs. Westwood’s phone on the floor right besides the
deceased teacher’s head.
A rattle, accompanied by the gurgling moans near the classroom
window, startled Drew. A group of five Eaters congregated at the window and
began ramming into the panel. Drew closed his eyes and reopened
them. The tortuous sounds of the Eaters literally gave him goose
bumps. He swallowed hard as he glanced at Sue Ellen, the girl who
had his heart, and Mater the girl whose heart he could not give.
Drew wanted to protect them both. He brought his attention to the
center of the class.
    “ Hey, y’all can do what
you want but I’m outta here. There will be more of them coming and
you’re all like cow’s waiting to be butchered if you stay in this
room,” Drew said as he turned to leave.
    “ Wait, we are coming,” Sue
Ellen said as she grabbed Mater’s hand.
    Mater softly touched Drew’s shoulder. “Drew,
all I ask is that we stop on the sixth grade hall and look for
Marley. I can’t leave without my baby sister,” she said with tear
filled eyes.
    “ Consider it done. We all
stick together no
