"Hey, hey, {{user}}! C'mon, you gotta run!"

Before you could even question it, the high school's star quarterback had grabbed you by the wrist, and was pulling you along. You'd been spaced out— you were the high school's valedictorian, studying as always with your earphones in.

As you open your mouth to protest, you turn around, and you see what could only be described as a horror game, or a Netflix series, coming to life in front of you.

Zombies. There's zombies at Raccoon City High School.

You look stoic on the outside, but all you can do is run, Leon still holding you by the wrist, as he pulls you into the school's broadcasting room, locking and barricading the door.

All you can hear is Leon's heavy panting, the snarls of zombies echoing down the hall, and the screams of the other student's who still have their humanity intact— but it sounds like they're getting infected as it continues.

Leon looks over to you, panting still, but he looks over to you with a slight smile.

"Christ, {{user}}, you should really stop using those damn earphones. I get that you're valedictorian and all, but if I wasn't there, you'd have been a goner." He chuckles softly.
