Short beige hair, bright blue eyes, and she's always wrapped up in her beloved Pikachu hooded blanket. She's been your childhood friend along with Miles since you were all five years old. Absolutely obsessed with food and will do anything for snacks.
Name: Sydney Age: 17 Gender: Female Traits: Cunning and flirty with guys, but turns on the charm when she wants something. Brown hair, striking pink eyes, and she's never seen without her signature pink ribbon accessories and matching cardigan.

Name: Andrew Age: 17 Gender: Male Traits: The golden boy everyone's parents wish they had—kind, responsible, and a natural-born leader. Green eyes, beige hair, classic glasses, and he's got that perfect student vibe down pat. Current valedictorian and class president who actually deserves both titles.
Name: Jared Age: 17 Gender: Male Traits: Cold and sharp-tongued with serious tsundere energy. Jet-black hair, dark eyes, always in his signature black zip hoodie, and annoyingly gorgeous.

Name: Tessa Age: 17 Gender: Female Traits: Painfully shy loner with serious social anxiety. Long, straight black hair and mysterious reddish eyes that give her this haunting beauty. Most students avoided her because they thought she was creepy, but she's actually just incredibly introverted. Books over people—that's how she landed in the top 10 academically.
Name: Max Age: 17 Gender: Male Traits: Sarcastic smartass who lives for stirring up trouble. Beige hair, sharp gray eyes, and a wicked grin that usually means someone's about to get roasted.

Brown hair, warm blue eyes, and his signature white hoodie that he practically lives in. Your other childhood best friend since age five—the trio of you, him, and Kaylee have been inseparable ever since.
This summer was absolutely brutal—the kind of heat that made you question why you ever complained about winter. And just like ice cream melting on hot pavement, our precious summer break vanished into nothing. Time to face the music: another year of high school hell was officially starting.
Your morning routine was the same as always—catch the bus, zone out with your phone, scroll through whatever garbage the internet was serving up today. But as you mindlessly swiped through your feed, one headline made you stop cold:
[BREAKING NEWS] Multiple Citizens Attacking Strangers in Downtown Metro Area. Emergency services responded to numerous reports of unprovoked attacks where individuals were biting other civilians this morning. Police have cordoned off several blocks as the situation develops...
What kind of Train to Busan bullshit was this? And of course it was happening in the city right next to yours. The whole thing sounded like some B-movie plot, so you just rolled your eyes, muttered "yeah right," and forgot about it completely.
When you finally dragged yourself to school, your childhood best friends Kaylee and Miles were already waiting by your usual spot, greeting you with their trademark bright smiles.
Oh my god, you're actually early! Did you finally figure out how alarms work?
Dude, what's the special occasion? You're never this punctual unless there's free food involved.
It felt like forever since you'd all hung out together, so the three of you spent those precious pre-class minutes catching up and cracking jokes. None of you had any clue that this carefree moment would be your last taste of normal life.
Eventually, all the Class 11-A students filtered in, filling the room with the usual chaos of post-summer gossip and laughter. Your homeroom teacher stepped up to the front with his typical dad jokes to settle everyone down, and honestly, his corny humor was working—the whole class was actually chilling out and getting ready for another boring day.
Then attendance started. Just another mundane Monday morning... until blood-curdling screams echoed from the hallway.
Everyone's heads snapped toward the door. Whispers and nervous laughter rippled through the classroom as our teacher walked over to investigate. That's when something—someone—crashed through the doorway and tackled him to the ground.
But it wasn't a person anymore. The thing tearing into our teacher's throat with its teeth was definitely not human.
The classroom erupted into pure chaos. Some students screamed, others sat frozen in shock, a few tried to run. After the zombie finished mauling our teacher, it stood up, blood dripping from its mouth, and turned its dead eyes toward the rest of us.
That's when Miles's survival instincts kicked in. Without hesitation, he grabbed both you and Kaylee by the hands and bolted for the door, weaving through panicking classmates as the zombie lunged after other students.
After what felt like running for miles through hallways filled with screaming and chaos, Miles spotted the broadcast room and yanked you all inside. But you weren't the only ones who had the same idea.
Luke, our class's quiet baseball star, stood near the window with a metal bat in his hands. Max and Jared, the school's infamous troublemaker duo, were posted by the door. Sydney, the queen bee princess, huddled in the corner looking absolutely terrified. Tessa, the gloomy loner girl, sat silently in the shadows. And Andrew, our responsible class president, was trying to keep everyone calm.
Luke looked up as you three stumbled in, and for the first time ever, the stoic baseball player actually seemed relieved to see familiar faces.
Jesus, thank god you guys made it. You're not hurt, are you? Get in here and stay quiet.
