Chapter Text
Tommy just wanted to finish school in peace but nooooo these ugly brain eating bastards just had to ruin his day.
Tommy was having a good day so far nothing had gone wrong; he didn’t trip down the stairs or spill his breakfast. He had also made it to class on time which meant he didn’t have any detention after school and all the teachers didn’t give much homework to do, he was having a great day he just couldn’t wait to get home so he could sleep all day and not wake up till noon the next day.
Right now, he was in his math class, the worst class ever but at least he only had two more classes and then he could go home! Life was great! but now he needed to go to the bathroom, but the teacher wasn’t letting him.
“Come on Ms. Galiza! I really need to use the bathroom. I might just pee my pants!” Tommy complained.
“For the last time Thomas, I am not letting you go. It's the same thing every day you go to the bathroom and don’t come back till 20 minutes later I could be teaching you so much in those 20 minutes” Ms. Galiza shakes her head.
“I promise to come back super-fast come on Ms. Galiza!” Tommy whines, students snicker and hide their laughs and giggles behind their hands.
Ms. Galiza looks at Tommy disbelievingly “No Thomas now be quiet you're disrupting my class” she turns back to the board about to continue her lesson.
“Please Ms. Galiza I really need to go” Tommy groans, dragging out the e in please.
Ms. Galiza sighs “Fine Thomas but be quick about it” Tommy jumps out of his seat and rushes out the door Ms. Galiza shakes her head smiling “Alright class let’s continue” Ms. Galiza goes back to the board the class groans.

Tommy finishes using the bathroom in under five minutes, having really needed to use the bathroom he was lucky Ms. Galiza let him use the bathroom she was a nice and chill teacher even though she teaches math.
Tommy is drying his hands when he suddenly hears screams outside the bathroom, he snaps his head towards the door and raises an eyebrow. Is someone getting murdered or something? He sighs and finishes drying his hands. He was walking to the door going to head to class when suddenly someone rushed in and knocked him over, pushing him to the floor.
“WHAT THE FUCK MAN!” Tommy screams, he then looks at the person that knocked him over and... they don’t look okay. Blood is covering them and there seems to be flesh falling off their skin, drool and foam coming out of their mouth and their eyes are wide. Tommy shutters “Hey man... are you okay?” he asks.
The person responds with a groan Tommy reaches out to put his hand on the person's shoulder “Hey...” the person lunges at him and Tommy screams when he’s pushed down to the ground, he tries pushing the person off him, but it doesn’t work the person tries to bite him and Tommy shrieks.
“What are you a zombie?!?” Tommy exclaims the person groans in response, yup definitely a zombie. Tommy looks around trying to find something to defend himself with he sees a long thick plank of wood under a sink and reaches for it his fingers barely brushing the wood he grabs ahold of the wood and quickly brings it down on the zombie’s head the zombie falls off him with a groan Tommy quickly gets up running out the bathroom, so the zombie doesn’t try to eat him again.
When he runs out of the bathroom it is not a pretty sight. The halls are filled with screams and blood is splattered everywhere Tommy sees people running from other zombie looking people, he even sees a zombie biting a chunk of a girl’s flesh off her dull eyes staring right at him. He shutters. He runs down the halls avoiding the zombies and hitting some of them with the wood plank he still has. He doesn’t stop to help anyone mostly because they are already on the ground getting eaten, he feels bad leaving them, but it can’t be helped.
Suddenly Tommy runs into a hoard of zombies he curses under his breath and runs back the direction he came from but it’s too late they already noticed him, and they start to run towards him Tommy curses even more and starts running faster and turning down random hallways he looks behind him and sees that the zombies are closer that fuels him to run even faster he turns down a hallway and curses his luck it’s a dead end Tommy tries to find a way out of this situation then he sees it. A window. He rushes over to the window and pries it open having some difficulty.
He sits on the windowsill and looks behind him a zombie is reaching its grimy hands towards him he flinches away from the hand and jumps out the window. He hits the ground with a loud thud and groans. He is never jumping out a second story window again, he lays there for a bit hidden by the bushes then he remembers zombies are running around and he gets up. He winces at the pain he feels in his chest but decides to ignore it until he finds somewhere safe, he can hide. He looks around and grimaces at how much blood there is and wishes he stayed inside the school. It is way worse out here than it was in there.
He sighs welp it’s too late now he realizes he’s been standing there for too long and starts running towards the school gates avoiding and hitting zombies on the way.
__________________________________________
He finally found a safe enough place to stay for a while. It’s a random house he broke into and there seems to be no zombies, so the owners were probably at work or something. He checked out his chest and it looks like he has a bruised rib. Thank Lady Prime he took that medical class in his sophomore year. He now needs to figure out how he’s going to survive in the zombie apocalypse for who knows how long. He grabs a random notebook and pencil he found in an office like room and opens it to the first page. It's a brand-new notebook. The cover is a bright red, and it has a drawing of a raccoon. Tommy is so keeping the notebook. He titles the first page zombie apocalypse plans and starts writing a list of things he needs and how he’s going to survive.
Zombie Apocalypse Plans:
- Get backpack to put supplies in
- Get food (canned goods and candy obviously)
- Get weapons (to beat the ugly bastards)
- Get water (need to stay hydrated)
- Get medicine and medical supplies.
- GET A PET RACCOON!
Those are the most important things for now though Tommy thinks the last one is the most important thing to do. Tommy nods to himself and decides to look around the house to see if he can find anything useful, so he does just that.
___________________________________________
He ends up finding a red backpack which makes him think the owner of the house liked the color red. He checks to see if the backpack will be good enough for his travels and nods in approval when he sees there's plenty of space. He heads to the kitchen to see if he can find any food and lights up when he finds candies and chips in a cupboard, he grabs some making sure not to grab to many, so he has enough space for more things and then searches for canned foods he only ends up finding a few canned fruits and beans. He decides that’s good enough and zips up his backpack perching it on his shoulder.
He looks around the kitchen and sees a knife sheath on the dinner table. He hesitates for only a second before walking towards the table and grabbing it. He unsheathes the knife and grins; the knife is very sharp and a rather good size; the owners probably don’t need it anymore. He lovingly names the knife Clara before pocketing the knife. He scans the room once more then looks out the window he guesses it’s about 4 in the afternoon and ponders if he should stay in the house for the rest of the day or go out and face the zombies.
It seems like he doesn’t have to decide when he hears a window break in the living room followed by groans of multiple zombies, he looks around frantically and sees a window near the kitchen counter he rushes towards it and pries it open he jumps out the window right when he hears the zombies enter the kitchen and runs away from the house.
He sees multiple people fighting the zombies and getting eaten by them. The streets are filled with blood and guts, and he smells iron and raw flesh. He continues running not looking back once and he internally groans at his fate and hopes he survives long enough to find a pet raccoon and call them Clementine.
____________________________________________
It has been a whole week since the apocalypse started and Tommy thinks he’s been doing a great job at surviving the rotten bastards. He has found more food in houses and stores that haven’t been raided and has found more weapons. His favorite weapon is a bat with nails in it. He called the bat Henry a great name if you ask Tommy. He also raided a clinic and stole multiple medical supplies and medicine.
He has also learned to avoid people and make sure not to fall for any of their traps (He got beaten to a pulp and all his food was stolen the last time he approached people and tried to help them). Tommy is now moving towards a new town to see if he can find more supplies and maybe a raccoon. He smiles at the thought. He sees a big sign in the distance and squints to read what the sign says.
WELCOME TO POGTOPIA!
He grins and starts running towards the town avoiding zombies on the way. He makes it into the town and notices there's not many zombies around. He shrugs it off and starts heading to shops and houses to find more supplies.
He doesn’t find much in the shops or in the houses, but he does find some zombies roaming around and he kills them off quickly. He decides he’ll stay for a while and if there continues to not be many zombies around, he’ll probably build a large fence around the town just so he can live here.
He nods to himself and grabs his red notebook out of his backpack writing down the supplies he’ll need to build a fence around the town. He puts his notebook in his backpack and stretches.
Tommy looks at the setting sun enjoying how nice it looks, the wind ruffles his hair, and he lets out a sigh, smiling the whole time. He decides to watch the sunset for a bit more before having to break into a house and sleep. He lets himself relax and take deep breaths, something he hasn’t done since the apocalypse started.
