What If You Had to Protect Your Crush During a Zombie Apocalypse?

What if you had to protect your crush during a zombie apocalypse? Not in a dream, where you're taller and you know karate. In real life, with your actual heart. Because the infected can hear it. School trip to the city aquarium. Your teacher pairs you up with Hazel Moreno, the girl you've liked since you were eleven. She has called you Josh for five years. Your name isn't Josh. One hour later, the city is full of infected people who follow heartbeats. Over 100, they turn their heads. Over 140, they run. And every time Hazel takes your hand, yours goes to 139.
