             I sat in my bunk for two days contemplating who I should bring with me. Luke, of course but who else? I had till 10 am to get my people and leave before Aaron called Johnny, who had been walking past my bunk for two hours now.  It was only 5 am, which meant no one would be awake for another hour at least. I looked at Johnny as he walked by my door again, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Watching." He stopped and stared at me. Do you ever wonder why people, in horror movies, get scared at the man walking towards them right before they get brutally murdered. No, its not because of the seemingly obvious knife he is holding, or the gun, its the way he looks at you. The way he looks straight passed you as a person, but instead as an animal of some sort. Something he would have no hesitation in killing. That's what Johnny was doing, and it sent chills down my spine.

       I turned in my bed so I would face the wall instead of Johnny. And then I waited, and waited, until I heard people waking up outside. When I turned back around, Johnny was gone, and it was almost 6. I got up, not bothering to clean my bunk in hopes that Luke would start packing everything anyway. I looked outside of my door and saw Tanner walking back to his bunk seeming to have just finished his midnight class. I met Tanner once, when I first got here. He talked about wanting to leave, he had a plan and wanted me and some other kids to come with him, saying how we were 'not corrupted like the rest'. But that changed when Aaron called him and told him he was to be a trainer/teacher at the compound. I figured that one of the kids told on Tanner, and that's why he never spoke to anyone again. Either way, he was the only one i knew who once wanted to leave, so he might again. 

"Tanner! Hey, wait for me." I ran up to him, waiting for him to stop. But he didn't so I continued talking, "Okay, well good morning to you too sunshine. Anyway, question . Quick question. Could be a Joke so don't take it seriously, but take it seriously. Okay?" I looked at Tanner, searching for a sign that he was listening. "I kissed Luke. It was cool, a little slobbery but you know. Its Luke." Tanner stopped and Tilted his head just enough to see me. He grunted, and continued walking, all i needed was to get his attention and obviously I have it. "i didn't actually kiss Luke, Just trying to get your attention. But, now that I know that you're listening, well. I'm getting out. I have a mission but i'm going to escape and I want you to come. We leave at 10, me and Luke, so If you decide you want to come, that'd be really cool." Tanner stopped completely, I looked to see we were at his bunk. Without a word or a grunt or any sound at all, he walked in and closed the door behind him.  

       I went back to my bunk, and finished helping Luke pack our stuff.
