I'm in Mr. Fiedler's room watching the latest news, still two minutes until my first class of the day. I tremble as I watch the clock tick away. Tick, tock, tick, tock... 8:45, I have 3 minutes to get to Mrs. Bernston's room, but of course her room is the only room on the other side of the school. I don't blame the other teachers, I wouldn't even want to be in his room. I walk quickly to Mrs. Berntson's room as my heart beats 1000 beats per minute. I walk slowly into his dark room, wondering why no one is there and expecting some sort of trap. I take a couple of steps inside then suddenly WHOOSH, next thing I know I'm hanging from the ceiling by my feet with a thick rope tied around my ankles. The evil lady comes out of the dark corner screaming, "I told you we'd be in the computer lab writing our essays in the meantime, didn't you pay attention to anything I said yesterday!?" yes mom, I just forgot,” I said. "I am not interested! Maybe if you paid more attention you'd learn a thing or two!” he screamed. She cut the rope and I... middle of paper... a third of the zombies come out of the bushes! Gizmo yells, "Come!" I run after Gizmo. I ran as fast as I could, but the walking corpses still follow us. It's like in horror movies, where no matter how fast you run, the antagonist may walk slowly but is somehow able to keep up with you. Still right behind Gizmo, I trip over a fallen log and twist my ankle, my heart sinking. I get up quickly, limping, trying to reach Gizmo. I finally get to Gizmo, but there's a zombie that was hiding on the side of the path and grabs me by the shirt. With my shirt suffocating me, I fall with the zombie right next to me. While Gizmo squeals and bites and does everything he can to push the zombie away, I kick and do everything I can to make it pass. Gizmo shouts, “Hurry! In the meantime!" I quickly grab a handful of leaves and twigs from the ground and write “In the meantime”.
