Anything - Carl Grimes

xxx. First hang-out

.

Carmen, Carl, and Dorothy were, in Rick and Daryl's opinion, the most annoying group of friends you get to see. The three don't go a day without bickering, arguing, fighting, and one almost gets punched in the nose. But others like to sit back and watch the scene play out. All three were so annoyed with the other two, but they would rather die than admit they started to hold each other in the depths of their hearts.

Carl became very cocky. It is the hormones that are changing him from the sweet boy Carmen first met, to an absolute menace. He isn't afraid to sass anyone or throw a few insults then and there. He is annoyed with the new children from Woodbury, but everyone knows that it is just him being socially awkward. Carl and Carmen have been separated from the other kids since the outbreak, so they'll obviously find being with other kids hard, especially when they both want to keep their tough and strong personas.

Tonight, Dorothy has revealed a big secret of hers, well, it's not very serious, and she was just being dramatic, she's not actually ginger! Carmen and Carl never even noticed it because they didn't enjoy going around, looking at people's roots to see if they were naturally ginger, blonde, or brunette, but Dorothy has made this big fuss about it, and now the three are in the bathroom, dyeing Dorothy's hair with red or dark ginger hair dye-- that she made Michonne get from a hairdressing salon and waited for the right moment to dye it, but she couldn't do it herself, so she made Carmen and Carl do it because apparently 'you have small hands and will do it better.'

That is actually a complete lie, and she only told them because she knows they barely talk to anyone else other than Patric, and she thinks if anyone finds out, they'll make fun of her. "My hands hurt," Carl groaned as he held Dorothy's hair up so Carmen could put the dye underneath.

"Is she done yet?" Dorothy asked from where she sat on the chair.

"No," He whispered back.

"Then keep less whining and more helping," She ordered, Carl started to hate how bossy Dorothy became, she was beginning to resemble those irritating older sisters in movies and TV shows, and the worst thing in Carl's opinion; was Rick was letting her act like that!

"You should be glad we're helpin' you," Carmen muttered under her breath.

"I think this is the bare minimum friends do for each other," Dorothy shrugged, and Carl and Carmen didn't even waste a second and said simultaneously.

"We're not friends."

"We ain't friends."

"Assholes," Dorothy rolled her eyes. They might deny being friends, but they knew they held a strange type of love towards each other. The bathroom door suddenly cracked open, and Dorothy gasped and stood up before covering her face. Carmen, Carl, and Boris, who walked in while rubbing his eyes, gave her weird looks.

"Jeez, Dorothy," Carmen rolled her eyes and saw Boris' mouth widen into a smile.

"You're dyeing your hair?" He asked excitedly as he walked further into the bathroom, closing the door behind himself.

"Don't tell anyone or I'll cut your throat," Dorothy pointed her finger at him, making him stop in his tracks and raise his hands. Carl and Carmen shared annoyed looks, looking at the two kids' interaction. Everyone knew Dorothy and Boris were... goofy on their own, but when they're together, they just become ridiculous at that point.

"Don't worry, my mouth is sealed," He walked over to them, leaning his palms against the sink. "Want me to call Kora? Sh-"

"I just said you can't tell anyone," Dorothy gave him an unimpressed look. "Especially not Kora."
