1 Beginning of the End: The first day

"Hey wake up! You're gonna be late for school!", the mother shouts

It was another day in the Philippines in the year 20XX, going to school through jeepneys. The weather was nice and humid as usual, nothing out of the ordinary, I always wondered that, what if this usual relaxing scene were to disappear suddenly? I loved reading novels about apocalypse and such that I can't get my mind out it, that I even learned and readied for it.

The school bell rang indicating the opening of the gates in school, you can't get inside without an id or else the guard would immediately kick you out. As soon as I got inside, I went to the pc room to quickly finish my assignment, I slept last night that's why my assignment was left unfinished.

"Angel Garcia! Shouldn't you be in your classroom by now? Go to your classroom before you get yourself late.", my ICT sternly says

"I'll be real quick sir Rick, I just need to finish this.", I reply

I'm Angel Garcia, a senior highschool student of the Makati region. My highschool is located a few distances away that's why I needed to jeepney to quickly arrive at school. 

I was still at the computer, I heard a bang outside though I ignored it thinking it was a small firework that kids usually play with. I was able to finish and send the file to my teacher's email before she arrived. Suddenly I heard two more bangs, I felt a chill onto my skin but I ignored until the power suddenly went off. I felt some similarities to the beginning of the novel I was reading, hearing the sound of the gun and the sudden lost of electricity, only one more to complete it.

I heard a female student from outside screaming as if she was running for her life, she then quickly ran inside here in the ICT room where I'm at. 

"Don't make a noise...", she whispers onto my ear

"W-why?", I whisper back

She then tells me to just keep quiet, I took a look outside the window and saw other students running and I saw somebody chasing them. Their bodies looked like they were ripped apart and resembled a person with leprosy with bones popping out of their skin, they were chasing the students like they were preys to feasted upon.

The first day of destruction has come, I quickly grabbed my phone and looked at the news. The virus originated in china, quickly spreading to the western countries, the virus was deadly and fast, like rabies, this virus makes the infected aggressive in nature. 

I immediately remembered the novel I was reading, the information on how to survive was on my phone but I then suddenly remembered mom. I immediately called my mom but she wasn't answering, I felt scared the thought of mom being gone, I putted down my phone and tried to remember the basics.

I told the female student beside me to watch and tell me if they come. I needed to get the books which are in the cabinet that can be seen through the window, I immediately ran to the cabinet and grabbed two slim books to protect my arms and legs. I taped it around my arms and legs and grabbed a emergency axe which can be found just beside the cabinet. To survive the first day, I'm ready.
