The zombie apocalypse breaks out while five best friends are in high school.
There's a story. Some may know of it, and some may not. Some believe it, however, most do not. This legacy follows five best friends outside of Edmonton, Alberta, embarking on their first adventure. This fills their heads with experiences, and memories that will last a lifetime, and a damn good story to tell. There is no follow-up to this point, just a forward beginning.

It was in high school. Hugh, Rebecca, Chrystyn, and my self all sat in the cafeteria on our free class.
The fluorescent bulbs above us began flickering. Eventually, they shut off. A few minutes passed by before coming back on.
The follow up was a huge crash from outside, shaking the school.
Every student in the cafeteria jumped from their seats, and ran to the front door.
The only thing on our focus was an empty car in the middle of the street,and a semi truck in which bashed into 25% of the vehicles in our school parking lot.
Obviously, we'd run to the parking lot to see the crash. There was an overweight fellow, that had passed out, and possibly dead.
Behind the empty car in the middle of the road followed about twenty people, walking as if they had a limp. Some of the students ran toward them, but then ran back yelling, "run! Run back!" And that's when the strangers began running towards us. As they gained closer and closer, we realized we should run. These strangers had blood streaming down their faces, and they didn't look like they wanted to have a nice conversation.

We had to find Rebecca's brother, and our other best friend, Julia.

Hugh and I went in one group to get Julia down the math wing.
Rebecca and Chrystyn went to find Rebecca's brother, in which we just called him RB. I assume you can guess what it stands for.

As we met up with the other group, we saw these strangers running down the main hall, so we booked it the other way, and went out one of the side doors. We took a run behind the school, and sat there deciding what to do next.

"Okay, I say we split into two groups. Chris, Julia and I will take the car in the road, and Rebecca, Chrystyn, and RB will take Rebecca's truck. We go to one each others houses to grab our things quickly, and meet back here," Hugh said, catching his breath. Everyone in the background breathing heavily.

I said, "yeah that sounds pretty good. Where do we go from there?"

"We'll figure the rest out later, I suppose," Hugh replied.

We peaked around the corner of each end of the school, to make sure it's clear. Hugh, Julia and I ran to the empty car in the street, and the others went to Rebecca's truck.

Best of luck.

Setting forth begins.
