A man in a black shirt was walking towards a room. He pushed open the glass door. Inside the all-white room, it has been equipped with various test tools and high-tech equipment. The room is more easily known as the Laboratory.

He walked towards a long table that was surrounded by five men in white coats. He approached the long table until one of them noticed the man's presence.

One of them started giving signals to each other. As soon as the man in the black shirt arrived at the table, three of the five people gave a respectful bow. The man gave an eye signal to the three people earlier. Seeing the gesture, they immediately nodded and left the laboratory.

"What's the status now?" the first man or the man in the dark blue shirt started the conversation. The second man uncovered his face.

"There is no greeting or anything, then suddenly asking about the status?" the second man replied. Suddenly his stomach was elbowed by someone, the third Man. The second man received a sharp look from the first man.

"Target 003 completed. Target 004...in progress." replied the third man as his eyes looked at the screen of the tablet in his hand.

"Target 004? Last target?" asked the First Man.

"Yes" replied the third man shortly.

Hearing those words, the first man's lips rose slightly. He smiled. Cynical. His hand tried to reach a test tube that was in the test tube rack. Before he could reach, his hand was slapped by the third man. The first man was furious and turned his gaze towards the third man.

The third man was seen handing a pair of white gloves to the first man. the first man raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

"If you don't want to die early, you better wear this." said the second man firmly.

"Eh, let him die early. It's not like I care." said the second man to the third man in a whisper but could still be heard by the first man.

"So what's the next move?" asked the first man while gently shaking the test tube. The second man and the third man looked at each other with frowns.

" Is he stupid or forgetful?. He's our boss. We should be the ones who have to ask him. Why is he asking us?" asked the second man in a disbelief. The third man just shrugged his shoulders.

"I heard you." the second man and the third man looked at each other while gulping. In their hearts, they only hope that they still have a chance to live after this.

. . .

Class 3A, School Dormitory.

"Guys, look at this character! He must be handsome right!" said Ana with an excited expression on her face. Her hand was holding a novel.

"Right! But I still like his friend, Farhan. He's so cool!" Fiyya replied. In front of him there is a Math exercise book.

"Handsome? Have you ever seen his face?" Nura asked with a joking tone.

"I've never slapped anyone before. Do you want to be the first?" Ana raised her hand.

"Umm... hehe, I'm just kidding.. don't take it seriously" said Nura with an awkward smile.

"You know someone just met his crush last week." said Fiyya with a cynical smile.

"Right... that's why she has that happy smile for a week," said Myra while smiling.

"Eh, when did we suddenly got to this topic?" Nura said shyly. The face has turned red. She must be blushing.

The atmosphere become silent for a moment until someone broke it.

"Guys, I found a new game last week. The name of the game was War Legends!" Myra began to tell.

"War Legends? What game is that? Is the game fun?" Fiyya's question in curious.

"Of course! Nura is playing too, right Nura?" Nura nodded affirming Myra's words.

"The game is an online game. It's a fighting game! You can choose your own character, there are ranks such as warrior, elite, master, grandmaster... and many more" explained Myra at length. Fiyya just listened intently.

"We can even find an online friends. Also, there are many servers!" Nura added.

"You can try play it. It's really good!" suggested Myra.

"Nah, I don't want to. I'm too lazy to play games." Fiyya shake her head.

"C'mon, try to play it, it's not difficult."

"This is not a problem is it difficult or not, it a problem of me being too lazy to play games. You know I'm not the type to play games very much." explain Fiyya. She really doesn't like to play game.

"When you bored, you will find us." replied Myra while rolling her eyes. Fiyya just grinned.

"That's the only thing I can do."

"If you are bored then, play some games. There are many recommendations that I can gave you!" said Myra again.

"Nah!"

"Hey, the one who sitting at the back, Please slow down a little!" hearing that warning, they immediately shut their mouths to control their voices.

The atmosphere became silent for a moment again. Nura just stared out the window looking at the 7eleven shop which is just next to the school. A man in his 40s was seen coming out of the shop. The man in the white robe walked towards his car.

"What's do you guys think he has buy?" ask Ana curious.

"Maybe some cigarettes?" Fiyya replied to Ana question.

"Okay guys, stop talking. When will our homework done if we keep chatting instead of doing it? Let's do the homework first." said Nura.

.... . ....

"Wait a minute, why isn't that man car moving from earlier?" asked Fiyya looking towards the car out the window class.

"Hmmm.. that's weird, he's been sitting there in the car for about 15 minutes already." replied Myra.

"Maybe he's sleeping?." Ana said. Her eyes still couldn't take off the novel.

"Look, he's looking at us. He's not sleeping." said Nura weird.

"Why are he's looking at us?"

"Maybe because he think we are beautiful." said Ana proudly.

"Wow, confident aren't you. But... I kinda agree." Fiyya said with a small grin.

Myra just looked at the car.

"Myra, why are you staring at that car? Are you interested in that man?" Nura said teasingly.

"Eww.. no!" protested Myra.

"It just weird, why is that uncle don't stop looking at us?"

"Because-"

"Don't say because we're beautiful." Myra interrupted Ana's words.

"Hehe" Ana laughed a little.

Thump! Thump!

All the students in the class immediately turned towards the window.

"What's that sound~" Ana sang a little with the intonation of Didi & Friends song.

"Why is that uncle knocking on his car window?" The first student asks a question.

"Don't know." replied the second student with a shrug.

.... . ....

"Hold on... don't say, that man is trapped inside his car!" said Nura with a worried tone.

"Do we have to report to the police officer If something like this happened?" asked Fiyya.

"How? We don't have our phones." replied Ana.

"Public phone?" Nura replied.

"Clever! You have some coins?"

"None."

"..."

"Hmm... we'll just ignore it." Wow, just like that?

. . .

"Hey, do you mind go with me to the bathroom?" Myra invited.

"What are you going to do in the bathroom?" Ana questioned.

"You really don't have any other questions to ask?" replied Myra, raising her eyebrows.

"Well... I dont mind." said Ana with a grin.

"Hmm... let's go." Myra got up from her seat as she walked towards the classroom door followed by Ana.

"Sister Ashley, can we go to the toilet?" Myra asked permission from the duty supervisor who was in charge of their night class. The supervisor on duty raised her face to look at Myra and Ana.

"Go to the bathroom up to four people?"

"Four?" Myra and Ana said at the same time and looked back. Fiyya and Nura are standing behind them while making a peace gesture.

"Hehe.. we also want to go." Fiyya said with a small smile.

"Can we... the corridor in front of the bathroom was dark at night." Nura spoke up.

"Yeah, you guys can go. But, don't take too long." The four of them nodded in understanding and walked out of the classroom.

While walking down the corridor towards the stairs, they heard a loud thumping of footsteps from outside the school gate. Immediately their eyes turned to the source of the sound.

"Are there people who jogging at night?" Ana spoke up.

"Seriously, jogging in a... robe?" Myra was talking about a man in a brown robe who was running at a fast pace. The robe made it difficult for the man to move. It was no coincidence that the man had fallen due to restricted movement. Myra, Ana, Nura and Fiyya who had seen the incident immediately turned their eyes away.

"You saw it, didn't you.... what happened earlier?" said Fiyya with a shaking voice.

"That man had fell down." replied Myra.

"Pfft-" Ana's laugh escaped a little.

"Guys don't laugh, it's not good." scolded Nura while biting her lip trying to hold back her laughter. They continued their walk without turning towards the main fence.

.... . ....

"Even in the bathroom you still bring a novel?" Fiyya said while looking at Ana who was leaning against the toilet wall reading a novel.

"Well, It's because I know we'll be long in the bathroom. So, I brought it." said Ana.

"Doesn't you already read that novel? How many times have you finished it already?" asked Myra.

"Hurm... about ten times." answered Ana who was still diligently reading.

"When will you give it to me? I want to read it too." Nura, who had been busy fixing her hair, suddenly interrupted.

"Hmm, fine!" Ana said while rolling her eyes. She then gave the novel to Nura.

"Have you finished reading it yet?"

"She said that he had finished the novel ten times before." said Fiyya lazily.

After about ten minutes,

"Guys, it's already been a while. Let's go back before sister Ashley scold us." said Myra as she walked towards the door. She was holding the doorknob. Ready to unlock. But, before she could even turn the knob, the door received a pounding knock from the outside. Myra, who was surprised, immediately took a step back without realizing it.

"Open the door!!!"

...To be continued......

"Guys, it's already been a while. Let's go back before sister Ashley scold us." said Myra as she walked towards the door. She was holding the doorknob. Ready to unlock. But, before she could even turn the knob, the door received a pounding knock from the outside. Myra, who was surprised, immediately took a step back without realizing it.

"Open the door!!!"

Even after hearing those words, Myra still doesn't move. A feeling of doubt ticked in her heart.

Seeing Myra just stiff in her place, Fiyya quickly stepped forward to open the door. But before she could even open it, Myra grabbed Fiyya's hand first to stop her.

Fiyya felt strange with Myra's actions and looked up at Myra. Myra just shakes her head repeatedly. There was a worried expression on her face. Fiyya raised her eyebrows as asking 'what wrong?'

"I have a bad feeling." Myra expressed her doubts.

The door received a loud knock once more. But this time it was stronger than before. Fiyya immediately released her hand from holding the door knob.

"Just open it. She can't hold it anymore." said Ana with a little laugh.

"What are you afraid of? Just open it." said Ana as she held the doorknob and opened it. A few seconds later she closed it again.

"Why did you close the back door? You wanted to open it so badly before. Did you want to sleep in here?" said Nura in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah. I was surprised you know!?" said Fiyya while trying to calm her heart beating. No wonder she was surprised, Ana slamming the door right next to her ear.

"What's going on outside that make you close the door back again?" Nura asked again.

"It's nothing. I just want to play with the door." replied Ana while knocking on the bathroom door.

"Look like, someone will sleep in the bathroom tonight." Myra said furiously.

"Uhh... fine. Look at this." Ana opened the door. She pointed to some red spots in front of the toilet door.

"What's this? Who spilled syrup near the toilet?" Nura ask.

"Does the dining hall make syrup for supper?" asked Fiyya while raising one eyebrow.

"There's never been a syrup in the menu." said Ana.

"Maybe this is paint?" Myra made an assumption.

"Erghh... the smells" Fiyya covered her nose. She smelled something...strange.

"Strange. It smells like..."  Nura's words stopped before Ana continued.

"Blood. Try to look around, maybe there was a ghost, or... maybe there are Mr.Vampire! Tell me if you found him so I can take a selfie with him." Ana replied while looking around as if looking for something.

"Don't say that. I can't sleep tonight!" Fiyya was starting to feel the chill down her spine Things like this shouldn't be played around.

"Come on, you're being silly. Let's go now." Myra walked out carefully so that her shoes did not touch the mysterious red spot. Her steps were then followed by Fiyya, Ana and Nura.

. . .

"Shouldn't we go to the dining hall before returning to the dormitory?" Nura's voice broke the silence.

"Why? Are you hungry?" Myra questioned.

"That's not it. I just want to make sure there's syrup in the menu tonight.." replied Nura with a grin.

"But I hope it's actually the syrup in the menu for supper today." Fiyya said with a small smile.

"You want it?" asked Ana while raising her eyebrows several times.

"I don't want to. I'm don't really like to drink something sweet at night. It's like what Nura said earlier, just to make sure of it ." replied Fiyya casually.

"If you want to go there just to make sure of that, don't bother." Ana said in a sarcastic tone.

Suddenly Myra who was walking in the front suddenly stopped.

"Why did you stop?" Fiyya's question in worried. Seeing Myra just remain silent without reply made Fiyya even more worried.

"Myra, why did you-"

"Shhh...." Myra put her index finger on her lips as a sign of silence.

Ana looked at Nura next to her and raised one eyebrow to ask 'what happened?'. Nura just shrugged her shoulders as a sign of not knowing.

Fiyya gently patted Myra's shoulder. Myra turned her gaze towards Fiyya.

"Why?" Fiyya asked silently. Just mouth movement.

"I see..." 

Fiyya, Ana and Nura remained silent listening to Myra's words.

"…a person." said Myra slowly. Hearing Myra's words, Fiyya and Nura could only frown, while Ana was already gaping in disbelief.

"Huh, indeed. Indeed, this school is reserved for bears not for human." said Ana furiously. Fiyya and Nura just giggled at those words.

"I doesn't mean it like that! What I was trying to say is... that person look strange."

"What's so strange?" Fiyya asked while frowning.

"The way he walks is strange." said Myra suspiciously.

"Myra, you-" Before Fiyya could finish her words, her hand was pulled away by Myra.

"Run!" Myra shouted as she ran fast. Her hand was still holding Fiyya's wrist. A dazed Fiyya just follows in Myra's footsteps.

Ana and Nura looked at each other before following Myra and Fiyya's footsteps.

"Wh...why are we back?!" Fiyya asked a little loudly. His feet were still running in step with Myra. Fiyya's question was left unanswered.

Finally they reached the bathroom again. Myra closed the bathroom door quite hard.

"Why did we run away earlier?" Nura asked with a panting breath from running earlier.

"Wait....relax first. Take some oxygen." said Myra, trying to catch her breath.

"The oxygen in this toilet is really fresh, isn't it?" Fiyya said while emphasizing the word toilet. Myra just gave a sharp look to Fiyya.

"Hurry up, tell me what happened?" Ana asked curiously.

"I saw something." said Myra with a slightly angry tone.

"What do you see?" Nura asked.

"I just saw-"

"Ghost?!" Ana interrupted Myra's words with a slightly excited tone.

"Let Myra finish talking first." Fiyya and Nura said simultaneously.

"Or.. Did you see Mr.Vampire? Is he handsome? Haih.. I didn't have time to take a selfie-" Ana said before her words were cut off by Myra.

"I saw a ZOMBIE earlier!!" said Myra a little loudly while slamming her hand to the toilet sink.

Ana, Fiyya and Nura were surprised by Myra's words. They then displayed a disbelief expression.

"If you want to make a joke... don't do it." Nura said while shaking her head slowly.

"That's the point...it's not funny." said Fiyya.

"Which era are you from.. talking about zombies?" asked Ana while holding back her laughter.

"It's true! Did you thing I was joking?!" Myra said impatiently.

"I think you saw it wrong." said Nura.

"Eeii... I saw it with my own eyes!" said Myra angrily.

"Come on, Myra. You're being silly." said Ana again.

"You can't believe it?! Here, I show you!" Ana almost fell due to Myra suddenly pulling her hand. Myra opened the door and stepped out of the bathroom followed by Ana. Fiyya and Nura just looked outside the toilet to see Myra and Ana who had already left the bathroom area.

"Should we... go along?" asked Nura as she scratched her head which was not itchy. Fiyya just nodded and stepped out carefully.

Myra pulled Ana to the location that she saw the zombie before. Then she push Ana that make her nearly fell.

Ana was stunned for a moment where she stood. Then she turned her head to the right. A zombie appeared to be standing next to her.

"Err...hi!" Ana gave a small wave. The zombie turned towards her. Ana examined the zombie's face. The zombie was a teenage girl. Her face was filled with a thick red liquid. Not only on her face, but on her shirt and trousers also dirty with the thick red liquid.

"Hmm.. is there a Halloween celebration at our school today?" Ana made a question. Who knew they were having a Halloween celebration, she could also join in too.

"Since when did our school has ever celebrated Halloween" said Fiyya while frowning. Nura just nodded repeatedly. Their faces have become pale.

"Then.. what is she?" Ana asked trembling. Fiyya and Nura already gone.

"You think?" Myra asked with a pretended brave tone even though in her heart she felt like want to running away from there. If a sprint competition is being held now, confirm number one place in her hands. Furthermore, when she looked back, she saw Fiyya and Nura running back towards the toilet leaving her and Ana behind.

"Ohh...so it's true that Myra saw a zombie before?" Ana asked the zombie. However, there was no answer from it and instead the zombie began to move closer to Ana.

"Eh.. I know I'm beautiful but don't bother getting close!" Ana said nervously as she started to run after Myra who was already far behind her. They ran until they reached the toilet.

"Hah! Now did you guys believe it?!" Myra stepped in as soon as Ana entered the toilet.

"Yes, yes, I believe now. So what do we do now?" Ana said as her breathing started to return to normal.

"How can we have zombies in our school?!" Fiyya asked a little loudly.

"Where did these zombies come from?" asked Nura trembling. She noticed that when she and Fiyya were running towards the bathroom a moment ago, they saw a lot of zombies roaming around the school grounds.

"What are we supposed to do now?!" Fiyya said in fear.

"Fiyya, calm down. Don't panic! You're too quick to panic! If you're panicking right now, you can't think of anything," said Myra while holding both of her friend's shoulders.

"Calm down? You're telling me to calm down now?! Myra, do you realize that? We just saw zombies outside! You know, Nura and I have seen how these school students are being attacked! They're all infected!!" said Fiyya a little harshly. Trying to hold back the tears. She was terrified now. Myra was surprised and then turned her gaze towards Nura.

"Is that true, Nura?" Nura nodded affirmatively.

"We have seen it. They are scary and violent.. Even sister Ashley got.." said Nura slowly.

"We're done! I don't want to die early. I still haven't found the man of my dreams!" Ana said worriedly.

"That's what you're worried about?" said Nura with a disbelief expression.

"I don't feel want to cry anymore after you say that." said Fiyya while laughing a little. Ana just grinned. That's the purpose. She wanted to divert their attention so that her friends could calm down.

"Okay now, what do we have to do?" asked Nura starting the discussion.

"I think, we need to ask for help." said Ana.

"But how?" Fiyya spoke up after she calmed down a little.

"We have to get out of here" Myra suggested.

"Then where do we want to go?" Ana questioned.

"Office dormitory." answered Myra shortly.

"Office?" Ana, Fiyya and Nura said in unison before they looked at each other. Myra nodded.

"We need the phone to get help. Because there is a high possibility that everyone in this school has been infected. We have to ask for help from outsiders." Myra explained at length.

"Help from Outsiders? Like police officer?" Myra nodded affirming Nura's words.

"So everyone has agreed to go out?" Myra tried to get reassurance from her friends. The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Each still hesitates to make a decision. Myra sighed. Myra thought how to convince her friends.

"How long are you going to sit in here? We can't just stay here. Help won't come if we don't do anything. We have to go out and look for help, okay?" Myra coaxed using a soft tone.

"Okay, I'll come. In a situation like this, we can't just sit back, right?" Ana spoke after being silent for a long time. Nura just nodded her head in agreement. Myra looked at Ana and Nura with a big smile.

"Fiyya?" Myra turned her gaze towards Fiyya. A look of doubt appeared on his friend's face.

"You don't trust.. me?" Myra looked directly into Fiyya's pupils.

"No..It's not that! I just-" Myra, Ana and Nura just remained silent waiting for Fiyya to finish her words.

"I'm confused with my feelings. I'm worried. This thing involves life and you know this. This thing can't be played with. If I make a wrong move-" Fiyya started to express her doubts before being cut off by Ana.

"You're actually worried about your friends' safety, right?" Ana made a guess. Fiyya who heard Ana's words immediately looked down at the floor. Know that Ana guessed right.

" You should have say it early." said Ana lazily.

"Shut up!" said Fiyya a little angry. Ana just showed a lazy expression on her face. Myra and Nura just smiled at their friend's antics.

"It's okay, Fiyya. As long as we don't break apart, we will be okay." Myra held Fiyya and Ana's hands tightly.

"That's right. No matter what happens, we will always be together" It was Nura's turn to grasp Fiyya and Ana's hands. They all held hands in a circle as if channeling strength to each other.

"Yeah! No matter what the challenge is, we face it together." Ana said with a smile. Fiyya was moved to hear the words of her friends.

"So... Fiyya?" Myra asked wanting to be sure. Fiyya nodded in agreement.

"We will always be together! Promise." Myra said as she placed her right hand in the middle of their circle.

"Promise!" Nura said those words while imitating Myra's actions just now. Ana also did the same thing.

Myra, Ana and Nura looked at Fiyya, waiting for Fiyya to do the same. Fiyya just looked at her three friends before placing her palm on Ana's hand.

"Promise."
