It's been a couple months now, maybe 3-4 months. Our group has expanded from 5 people go about 25. In the house we have, there are about 5 bedrooms. 2 masters, in which people stay, 1 room is used as a classroom for younger children, 1 is used for clothing, and the other is used as a hospital. All round this farm/safe house we have jobs. I take care of the younger kids . My sister Nicole takes care of making sure everything is in check and making sure no one steps out of line. My parents are the leaders. They're always so busy but sometimes it's fun to help them. I decide it's time to start working as I'm leaving my room I see Nicole, I wave at her but she just ignores me. She hasn't talked much since her best friend Isabel disappeared. No one has seen her in 2 weeks. I feel bad for Nicole, my thoughts are interrupted as I crash into someone.
"Sorry" I hear the voice say.
"It's okay I should be the one apologizing for-" I look up from the ground and stop mid-sentence.
He looks roughly the same age as me, he has short brown hair, with brown eyes. He's wearing jeans and a shirt with some nerdy design on it.
"Um are you new here?" I ask quietly.
"Yeah, Could you just point me in the direction of the place where I get a job?" He asks.
I point towards the barn. He smiles, thanks me, and walks away. Why was he so rude, he sure was cute though. This is the zombie apocalypse, I shouldn't be thinking about boys. I don't know where he came from or why he's so rude, I just hope he's not like this forever.
