I continued to stare at the cold tiles below me. It had been precisely 1 month since I had escaped the horrific hell the world had become. I had lost many of my  friends and close family to the monstrosity that rained down on us from the sky. At last, I gave the young lady in front on me a small nod, and began to tell her my story.]]> 2016-09-20 20:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239965 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239966 Violent images flashed into my head as I was running though and endless maze of corpses until a sudden shake disturbed my slumber.

For three years now we have been running from the zombie aliens mot sure whether we would make it to our new hideout or not. ]]> 2016-09-20 20:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239971 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239975 2016-09-20 20:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239975 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239981 "Hurry! Run, they're coming!," yelled Melanie. The herd of disgusting and rotten zombies were closer each time I turned around. We tried to hide but their strong sense of smell always found us. There was nothing we could do. I started to wonder if we were going to be the only people surviving or perhaps die with the rest of the innocent people. I felt a sharp pain on the right side of my stomach but that didn't matter right now, we had to run and find a safe place to rest. I could feel the wind hit my face as i quickly ran to a small cottage. ]]> 2016-09-20 20:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239981 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239982 ''The day has come!'', I thought as I saw the brain eating-monsters smashing the glass windows from the scared and horrified children.]]> 2016-09-20 20:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239982 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239989 It was seemed to be a regular summer afternoon, when the news came on. "Breaking news, there has just been an outbreak in infected humans that devour people's brains!" announced the anchor.

Until, I heard a strange noise coming from outside of my door.  ]]> 2016-09-20 20:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239989 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125239990 It's been over a month since the zombie apocalypse has taken over the world.

It  had been a few days since I last seen rick. I didn't want to answer but in these conditions, it would almost be a 'must answer'. Before I could answer, a horrifying, rotten zombie smack up against the window. I shuddered remembering the day the news first announced this terrifying apocalypse, and now humanity seizes to exist.

His crystal eyes and perfect smile with dimples had me shaking in my boots. I suddenly remembered to have confidence and I shot up my head sending a sudden jolt though out my body. I shuffled back a bit and made direct eye contact with Mr. Perfect. A speck of dirt then flew up my nose and splat! Green, liquid-y mucus flew everywhere and onto my crush. A look of horror and disgust swept across his face as I stared in his eyes afraid of what was coming next. ]]> 2016-09-20 20:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125242609 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125242638 I flew out my front door and began to walk to the vibrant yellow school bus that was parked at the corner of my street. As I was strolling along the freshly paved sidewalk I noticed the most beautiful creature standing 10 feet in front on me. Brandon Guzman is just the most heavenly thing on earth. I continued to stare at the  god before me when- BAM! My foot was caught in a tangled knot of branches. I looked up from the floor and everyone was laughing hysterically. Right then I knew this was going to be the worst day ever]]> 2016-09-20 20:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125242638 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125242655 When I was walking home then before I knew BAM! I bumped into someone on the sidewalk, it turns out it was my crush. I felt so humiliated, I knew I couldn't show my face to anyone ever again. I ran straight home and started crying, I never want to leave this house again!

I needed to use the restroom so I asked my teacher "May I use the restroom?". My teacher replied "Yes you may, blue pass". I walked up to where the tissue boxes were dropping everything in my pathway like a giant walking over a built set of Legos! I was so embarrassed my face turned red like a tomato and she was laughing so hard! I felt so mad at myself but her cute little laugh made my day and I moved on.

I felt like there was something wrong with me but I ignored it because nothing could ruin my day. My friend wanted to tell me something but she said it was not very important so she didn't tell me and sat down on at her desk. This was getting out of hand and i decided to go to the restroom and see what was wrong. As i got up, I heard a loud laugh across the classroom. MY PANTS HAD RIPPED!! I felt so embarrassed and I wanted to hide so no one could judge me. The worst part is that my crush was in that class. He was sitting innocently in his seat. I noticed that he wasn't laughing like the other kids were, instead, he didn't find it funny at all."It's okay, don't worry," said my crush. I blushed and wondered if this could this mean something. Does he like me? Does he think i'm pretty?]]> 2016-09-20 20:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125242702 https://padlet.com/vbarra02/a5btfeug81j6/wish/125242736 Everyone silent.

I thought it was the best day of my life . Everything was perfect and it was better cause today was Valentine's day. I had bought my crush a pink rose with chocolate from the school the day before . School was starting and I walked into my advisory class my crush was right next to me . The roses and chocolates came and they gave him the one I bought him . Except I put secret admirer one the card . They messed up and put my first  and last name . He sat next to me so he kept looking at me .
