Zak - First-Person POV

After Darryl helped Zak get changed

"Thanks for helping me," I told Darryl, who was standing by the stairs, waiting for me to fix my hoodie which I refused to let him help me with. "Of course! But why won't you let me help you with your hoodie? I wi-" "Nope!" I cut him off and he chuckled. "Sorry." I apologized without thinking. Why'd I said that? I had no reason to be sorry. "No need to apologize," Darryl said in response.

Finishing fixing my hoodie, I went over to Darryl and skipped downstairs. I guess while he was helping me we didn't notice everyone go downstairs because there everyone was, sitting together on the couches and on the floor.

"Oh, hey Zak!" Clay yelled to me. He wielded a half-asleep Vincent and an almost fully asleep George. "What happened? I thought you guys went to sleep really early last night." I said to Clay, who was shaking Vincent and George, whisper-yelling at them to wake up. "Oh, well I woke up to use the bathroom at like 2 am and Vincent and George woke up 'cause I dropped something. Then we couldn't fall asleep for like 2 hours so we were watching the stars from the bed before I big spooned Vincent and Vincent big spooned George." He told me.

"Too much information," Vincent muttered, sounding pretty annoyed. Clay chuckled and ruffled Vincent's hair. "What're you guys doing down here anyway?" Darryl asked, inviting me to sit on his lap on the floor. I sat down and laid my head on Darryl's shoulder, still looking at the rest of the group.

Clay, Vincent, and George were on the couch; straight ahead of us, Jacob and Dylan were on the couch-chair north-east of me and Darryl, and Dave was sitting north-west us. "Well, we got here like, yesterday and we figured that we should get to know one another better," Dave told us, laying his head on his arm/hand. "Oh, ok! Well, you wanna just ask each other one question and let the person you asked to answer and tell you two facts about themselves?" Jacob suggested gleefully.

"Sounds good to me!" Dave said, leaning against the couch. "Who's asking first?" Everyone looked at each other and Dylan 'spoke' up. He started frantically waving his arms and faced Darryl to tell him what he was saying. 'You two ask the threesome over there, then they'll ask you guys, and then Jacob and I will ask Dave.' Darryl obviously couldn't understand everything but got the idea of what he was saying.

"Zak and I will ask Clay, Vincent, and George; Jacob and Dylan will ask Dave. Sound good?" Darryl translated to the rest of us. "Mk," Vincent murmured.
