Prison life

~ 5 MONTHS SINCE LEES DEATH~

"135, 140, 145" I whisper "150"

It had been 150 days since I got to the prison. 5 months to be exact. I was keeping tallies on my wall. I can't believe how fast time flies, so much had changed.

For starters my birthday had passed, I was twelve now. I didn't know when the exact day was I just new the season. I didn't tell anyone, I didn't want them to make a big deal out of it.

On the other hand, the prison had so many new people, it was practically a community. I had still lived with everyone on Block A, but they had expanded the prison to Block D.

I had a roommate now too, her name was Bella. She was a two years older than me, white, brown hair and a couple inches taller than me. She was living with me because her dad had died from the flu going around, Carol thought she would adjust better living with someone her age.

Bella and I had become somewhat friends, we made small talk every day and hung out during Carols classes.

Oh and Carol, she had washed my D hat for me. So I got to wear that often now. We had bonded a little over the months.

I had also bonded a lot with Maggie, Glenn, Carl and surprisingly Daryl.

I still would find myself pulling away though, like I once avoided Carl all week just because he called me his best friend. I was just scared. Scared that something would happen to him like what happened to Duck.

"Carol have class today?" Bella said as she jumped down from the top bunk and interrupted me from my thoughts

"Yeah, around 4" I said

"what time is it now?" She asked

"Almost two" I said

"Thank god, almost lunch time" She said as she started putting her boots on "What are they serving today?"

"Deer" I said

"Yay my favorite" Bella said in a sarcastic voice

I had learned that before the apocalypse she had been a vegetarian.

"Uh can I borrow you pocket knife?" She asked when she finished tying her boots.

"Uh yeah" I said as I got up and took my bag out from under the bed "can I ask why?"

I unzipped my bag and started looking though it. I found the pocket knife at the bottom next to my lighter.

"Oh Daniel was going to show me how to carve stuff" She said

"Here" I said as I handed it to her

"Thanks" she said "I'll see you at lunch"

"Yeah" I replied

She walked out cell and made sure the curtain was closed.

I zipped my bag back up and slid it under my bed. I then sat on the edge of my mattress and put my shoes on, and my D hat.
