What is probably the biggest problem are gang wars. After the the students got this infection and they were quarantined they formed gangs for protection. They formed gangs so that they could get more food and feed themselves. The gangs are the Nerds, Varsity, The Pretty Ones, Skaters, Geeks, and the Freeks.

Gang warfare is the biggest problem in this novel. It Is what gets most of the students killed, even more than the infection they all have. Gangs have their  own territory and if another gang came on their territory it would be war. Some gangs even make traps that will kill intruders. The Nerds protect the front entrance to the library with traps and in the novel it says, "deadly traps that mangled raiders." In this high school it is very dangerous to even go outside your territory because of gangs.]]> 2017-05-02 18:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mshiff5671/ql06e3gkcv1v/wish/169514792 mshiff5671 https://padlet.com/mshiff5671/ql06e3gkcv1v/wish/169565678 Thomas, Lex.
