Hunger

Chapter 11

“So, let's see a show of hands” Sabrina said “Who wants to actually get out of here?” she asked, seeing all but Emma’s hand raised. Sabrina couldn’t help but snicker as Emma started to look around the room seeing not a single hand down.

“Fine” Emma exclaimed “But what is your plan to get us out of this room and down the steps without getting attacked?” she asked sounding pissy.

“That I’m not sure on yet let's give ourselves time to eat breakfast and plan something out” she said “I’m thinking a run for it, but the chance of survival is slim to none for all of us” she said before taking a seat next to her friends. “Let's all brain storm and come back together in about thirty with ideas” Sabrina suggested.

Sabrina looked around at her three friends who were in the middle of eating their chips and pop for breakfast then it hit her. She got up from the floor and grabbed one of the tables in the room. “We can use one of these for the ones in the hall and for the ones downstairs we can use chairs like make a wall of people holding chairs for the front line and for the back people can have seats as well to keep them back” she suggested looking to her friends.

“That sounds good but what are we going to do once we are down there it's not like we can just walk out the front door right?” Jason asked Sabrina thought for a moment before replying to him

“We can plan on heading out the front door but if that’s blocked, we use whatever classroom we can get to and lock ourselves in then make another plan” she said “ Baby steps and one step at a time cause we don’t know what's waiting for us” she mused before eating her beef jerky stick and a bottle of root beer. ‘Breakfast of champions’ Sabrina thought to herself.

It was about thirty minutes later that the group of ragtag students, about ten of them were discussing the plan to get to the first floor and out to freedom. The main problem was deciding who was going to be the group at the table and who was going to be the pushing force with the chairs. “I think it would be best for the fastest and strongest three to be the ones with the table pushing the ones up here back” Sabrina said “Then the slowest three or four should be the front line with the chairs to push those Infront out of the way” She said “ But they should also have things covering their arms” She said unable to think of the words she was looking for.

“You mean cover their arms in magazines” Emma stated.

“Yes” Sabrina said agreeing with her for once. “Jason, Gale and I will be the ones with the table we will push them back till you all are at the bottom of the steps then we will run to catch up with you all” Sabrina said looking to the other students. “Matt, Jaylin, and Marcus will be the front line pushing the zombies back from the front “She said “Then one of you who is behind them will be in charge of opening the front door if we can get to it or a classroom door so that we can get to safety. If we get out the front door let's make a mad dash to the cars or a school bus” Sabrina said “ If we end up in a classroom once we are all inside and the door is blocked off we will make another plan” she said “ Any objections?” she asked not hearing any, she moved on to the task at hand. She grabbed some tape and two of the six magazines they had available. She started to wrap the magazine around Matt’s arms and taped them into place.
