Highschool

Trent spins me in a circle but accidentally let's go and I fall backwards on my butt.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry," says Trent laughing when suddenly his face turns straight and he grabs his gun out of his pocket, and point above's me and shoots.
I duck and cover my ears but it doesn't help the ringing, I turn around to see a dead runner behind me.
I scramble to my feet and Trent helps me up,
"That was close," I say, my heart thudding in my chest,
"Next time, don't spin me to a zombie- even if it asks for a dance," I say mockingly and he laughs along with me and the piano runs out of power and stops playing it's music.

"Well it was fun while it lasted," says Trent smiling at me, and suddenly I hear yelling and I pop my head out the door to see Austin running towards us,

"Are you's okay?" Says Austin out of breath,
"I heard the gunshot, so I came to see-" but he cuts off when he sees the shot zombie,
"Well it looks like you handled it yourselves," says Austin smiling at us,
"What were you two doing here anyway?" He asks suspiciously,

"Uh, exploring," I say, obviously lying- I'm a horrible liar,

"Oh well, I'll leave you two to it," he says winking and walking back towards the building.

Trent giggles, "he's on to us," he says smiling at me,

"Of course he is- he's like a brother to me," I say,

"Well I better watch myself," says Trent and we both laugh, because we all know how protective older brothers are of their sisters.

"Do you wanna go back to the building with Austin?" Asks Trent,

"No, let's hang out here for a little longer, we won't have to do the dishes," I say giggling. The building we live in is great, the room we sleep in is small- but there's a water tank outside with a pump, and since it's winter we've got plenty of water.

Trent looks around the room and walks out the back door into a storage room, and I follow.

"Have you been here before?" I ask,

"Nope, which makes it more fun," he says running off. It's packed with shelves and packages which have been left here unopened and untouched.

"Trent?" I call out, but he doesn't reply.

"Okay, enough of the games," I say standing by myself in the dark room when I hear something fall.

"Trent was that you?" I say walking towards the noise cautiously when I hear him yell,

"Oh my god Nori, you'll never guess what I've found," he says making me jump, and I follow his voice and I find him holding an of mice & men shirt,

"You can have it," says Trent handing it to me,

"I was going to call you an asshole for leaving me by myself- but I forgive you now," I say smiling and taking the shirt from him, and I take off my jumper and put it on over my singlet.

"I can't wait till Austin and Alan see this," I say, "they'll love it."
I feel incomplete without my band merch, because I've slowly lost all of it over the past 2 months.

"Wanna see what else we can find?" Says Trent grinning at me and he pulls some of the parcels off the shelf and we sit down on the floor and open each one,

"It's like Christmas- except they're other peoples parcels," says Trent giggling, and I feel kinda bad looking through people's stuff- but they're not gonna need it, right?

"Hey Trent," I ask,

"Yes?" Says Trent ripping apart a parcel,

"How come you were aloud into the army even though you're 17 and underage?" I say

"My dad worked in the army, so I didn't have a problem getting in since everyone knew me,"

"Not many people knew me in Melbourne," I say quietly,

"Oh, whys that?" He says looking up from his parcel,

"I was always the shy quiet kid who hid in the back of the class and had barely any friends," I say, "plus, apparently my music is scary? Not many people like it."

"I like it," he says, "I like you too," he adds smiling cutely at me.

"Come on dork, let's go back," I say blushing,

"Whatever you say lady," says Trent smiling at me and grabbing my hand and leading me outside.

"OHHHH GUYS LOOK!" I hear Alan yell from the window of the building,

"THEYRE HOLDING HANDS!" He yells excitedly,

"Well it's about damn time," I hear Austin say and he pokes his head out of the window,

"That's cute Nori!" He yells, and I honestly feel like I'm in high school right now, and that all my friends (that I didn't have *cries*) are teasing me because I have my first boyfriend, sigh.
