After they finished practicing, we sat in the entertainment room eating lunch. Conrad, Blaise, Taylor, and Jessica are sitting on one couch and me, Harley, Beth, Sky, and me are sitting on the other. Conrad continues to flirt with Blaise while he inches away slowly. Taylor and Jessica are talking about what we need and what we don't, Beth and Harley are fangirling over Harry Potter and I'm trying to nap while Sky sits next to me awkwardly. I yawn and stand up, "I'm going to my room." I say when they all stop talking and look at me. They nod and continue with what they are doing. I head to my room and grab a book, Henry Frank, about a guy that was like a modern Frankenstein. I plop down onto the beanbag I have sitting in the corner. Before I can start reading, I hear whispers in the hallway. I set my book down and put my ear up against the door. "—nt get attached Sky." Is that Blaise? "I know, I know but, Blaise, this could be our home! We're welcomed here!" Sky says. What are they talking about? "We have a home, Sky. And its not here." Blaise says. What in the world? I push my ear harder against the door and my hand hits against the wood, making a noise. Ow, that hurt. I hear Blaise shush Sky and soom after that, heavy footsteps are walking away. I set my back against the door. What's happening? What are they keeping fron us? Are they dangerous? I wont let them hurt any of us. I look at my families belongings. The toy gun, the braclet, the snow globe, the shirt, the pillow pet. I pull my dads gun out. "I wish you guys were here..." I whisper.

The next morning I was woke up by someone yelling my name. "Jasmine! Get your lazy ass up! Taylor needs us." Beth yells. "Shut the fuck up! I'm awake." I scream back. I hear her laugh and walk away 'Another day, another journey.' I think. I get up and throw some regular jeans on and grey v- neck shirt on. "Where the fuck is my batman snap back?!" I yell out the door. I slip my converse on and grab mu weapons and head out the door. "Conrad!" I yell. He opens the door next to mine. "Yeah?" He says sheepishly. That guilty little fuck. "Give me my hat." I demand. He shakes his head, feigning innocence. "Psh, whaaaat? I don't have your hat." He says with a hugh pitched voice. "Conrad." I say, not amused. "Uh, Yeah?" He asks. "You're wearing it." I point at his head. He look up and mutters, "fuck." He sighs and hands it to me. I smile and set backwards on mt head. "Thank you." I smile. He nods sadly, pouting, and leaves. "Jasmine!" Harley yells. I look at her, "come on, Taylor wants to talk to us." She says in her normal voice. I walk into the room, this room is for meetings and stuff. When I walk in, Harley, Beth, Sky, and Taylor are looking at me. "What?" I ask. Why does everyone have to fucking stare? "We've been waiting for an hour." Taylor deadpans. I shrug sheepishly, "you know I like sleep." Taylor shakes her head, laughing. "Okay, sit down." She says. I head towards a desk and sit. "Whatcha need Tay?" I ask while propping my feet on the desk. "Conrads been eating all the food—" she starts but I cut her off. "That little fuck, he didn't share." I mutter. Taylor glares and continues, "so tomorrow I need you to head out, find what you can, and come back. We have enough now to last a few days but, its always safe to have it ahead of time." She tells us all. Beth jumps in excitement. "Yes! Imma kick some infected ass!" She cheers and pretends she's punching people. Harley looks at her like she's an idiot. "Alright, tomorrow we'll head out in the morning," I say. Taylor nods and thanks me, leaving the room. I look at Sky who is sitting quietly. I smirk, "ready for your first scavenge?"
