The B.F.M.S

Marble

By: Jessica Diaz 6th Grade collaborative project with Ms. Blue and Mrs. Dahl Patrick Henry Math, Science, Technology Magnet 2020

Jessica realized the school has security cameras. We had to do this like a team, Jessica checked the cameras from the principal office while Lara stayed by the door to look out. Gasping Jessica said, ``Come quick, look what I found!¨ Lara ran to me and on the cams we both saw what nobody could have expected. It was a Zombie who was disguised as Spencer since he was the only one near to take the device! We ran to Spencer, who was in the cafeteria. Not thinking the plan through,&nbsp;we just tackled him. Realizing the master of zombies was taking the form of Spencer, so where was real Spencer? Some answers were still unknown, but over all the zombies got what they wanted and needed. They just wanted to be accepted. They didn't want to kill us...they just wanted to fit in. That is why they were taking over bodies. Lara and I explained that they could release our friends because we would accept them for whatever they looked like. They accepted and live among us in secret to this day.&nbsp;

I dedicate my book to my mom. No matter how bad my story sounded she was always there to fix my mistakes, always there to make sure it was done, always there to make sure I was becoming a better me.

This was the moment for some answers. With finding answers in our minds, the next day we went to the science fair. Lara´s science project was the next big thing. She was making more improved robots since she was the inventor of those original robots. These robots will have more knowledge and unique talents. This project made her take first place at the science fair. After her win, Lara had an idea to make a device that could calculate where the next locker portal would open. Once the locker is located, it will activate a heat protection that would allow us to enter the portal without getting hurt or zombified. That night we stayed at school late to see if Lara´s idea worked but, as soon as we tried, the creature took it and entered the portal back underground. Lara said, ¨NOOO!! We needed to think of something quick since the device will function, blowing up with the whole school on top.¨

Mrs. Karina says, ¨Encourage students to not blow stuff up.¨ Lara said, ¨Blow stuff up? That´s weird.¨ Jessica said, ¨Were not going to give up.¨ Lara responds, ¨I mean, we could give up if we wanted to. I have lots of homework.'' Jessica said, ¨No, together we can accomplish anything.¨ Since that day secret passages kept appearing in lockers. But we notice only the top students in classes were appearing to walk in. Like Spencer, Kayla, Anthony, Alexa and so on. Each time we follow these students in, someone or something keeps following us too. But Lara didn't believe that. ¨Ghost aren´t real!¨&nbsp; Jessica said, ¨Than who is doing this?¨ We each took time to find research on the school's history. Lara said, ¨I found something….¨&nbsp; ¨By Newspaper 104 - Apparently the school was a cemetery with buried zombies&nbsp;who were smart scientists. One day they broke out of the ground, but didn't succeed. Legends say these creatures want revenge because they turned into zombies lossing&nbsp;knowledge instead of keeping the knowledge they had. Our way to not let these zombies out was with a barrier. Let's see if they'll escape now….¨

Everything is up to us this very second, we need to save the school and everyone in it. But let's rewind. It starts in this world with these two best friends and their friendship is unbreakable. Jessica said, ¨Hey guess what, I'm in branchvalley!!!¨ Lara said, ¨Like where I live branchvalley?!¨ All this time we've just been talking virtually, now we can be best friends in real life. This school is for students that transffered. Being introduced here means that it's a highly rated great school. Walking in the school is like a whole new world. There are robots as assistants, touchscreen maps to find information of your class and where, and much more!! Jessica said, ¨ Whoa, incredible.¨ The days at this school are amazing until one week passes.

Jessica is calling out for Lara through the hallway alone, ¨Lara!¨ All of a sudden the hallway lights turn off. ¨BAM!!¨ A locker swings open with light beaming out. We hear someone coming. Lara is panicking and whispering, ¨Hide.¨ Together they say, ¨Anthony?¨ Anthony walks in the beaming light locker and disappears. While this is weird, they choose to ignore it for now. The next day in chemistry, Jessica checked in on Anthony who is present in class. Jessica says, ¨Hey I saw you at the lockers- you okay?¨ Anthony responds, ¨I'm good!!¨ Sounding oddly strange while eating a PAPER TOWEL. While we try to get that out of our minds, the school is having a movie night. The movie was great, everyone was hooked but something weird happened with Anthony again. Apparently, he dozed off. I don´t understand how anyone could fall asleep during such a loud and exciting movie. That was it, seeing how odd Anthony was acting lead us straight to the principal. Lara said, ¨Mrs. Karina, Anthony has gone zombified.¨ Mrs. Karina said, ¨zombi- what?¨&nbsp; Mrs. Karina tells us to stop messing around and instead focus on what's happening now.
