I opened my eyes somewhat in panic before sitting up fast almost bumping my head on the bunk above me. I took a couple breaths and then realized where I was. The prison.  I turned over and sat up fully on the bed pulling on my jeans that I must have kicked off in my sleep. I went to my bag and pulled out a navy tank top. I stretched yawning before hearing someone mumble. "What the hell". I turned in time to see someone jog by my cell. I rolled my eyes telling myself it was just Carl before pulling my hair into a messy bun and walking out my cell to try and find something to eat.

I trudged down the hall my boots making a clunking sound each time they hit the ground. When I finally got to the Mes hall everyone was scrambling to make different foods. I turned to carol first. "Hey Carol, need any help?"

"Morning Arlo. I think I'm fine for now, why don't you go ask Rick, hes in the garden out back."

"Mmm Kay. Thanks Carol, see you in a bit."  I called before jogging out to the garden in the back of the prison. I was smiling at Rick and he waved to me. I still carried my smile until Carl's head popped up, then my smile turned into a scowl but quickly changed when I walked up to Rick.

"Hey Rick, Carol said you needed some help out here. Is there anything I can do?" I beamed at Rick.

"Thanks Arlo, could you take my place and help Carl weed. I need to go meet with Michonne, Hershel, and some others." It was to late to reject before he walked off. Not that I would have but I can pretend that I would. I smiled at Carl trying to be friendly but he just rolled his eyes and continued picking the weeds out.

CARLS POV (Ikr)

After I finished picking weeds with the new girl I went up to Glenn's cell. He was one of the only friends I had here mostly because he was the closet in age,even though we're separated by a good 10 years. Either way, Glenn was good to talk too. In this case. It was Arlo Jackson.

"Gleennnn" I whined before jumping on him while he was laying in his bed.

"Shit,Carl. You scared me" he said trying to catch his breath. I let out a deep chuckle at his easy to startle manor. I turned to Glenn who was starring me down before letting out a breath and shaking his head. "What's the problem" he said rubbing his temples.

I bit my lip trying to figure out how to word this. Even to myself it was confusing. "Ermmm" I grumbled thinking to myself. Glenn raised his eyebrows and motioning for me to go on. "I like..." I stoped myself from finishing the sentence. I couldn't tell Glenn. Glenn would make me do sissy shit after this. I can't tell him how beautiful and wonderful I think Arlo Jackson is.

I can't tell Glenn how I like her hair in it's natural brown rather then the trashy sliver she added some time ago.

I can't tell Glenn that her coffee eyes I could get lost in and that would be fine by me.

I can't tell Glenn that I think it's cute when she wiggles her nose and bites her lip which is probably a nervous habit.

I can't tell Glenn. So I'll do what I do best.

Bitch it out and fuck it up.

"Never mind" I said before running out and probably leaving Glenn in a confused mess.

ARLOS POV

I later in the grass after I was done gardening with Carl. He stormed off as soon as we finished but I just alter and started to watch the clouds. I was drifting of into a peaceful sleep, finally able to ignore the walkers when a shadow was cast right over me.

"Get up" I scrunched my nose and opened an eye at the rude command only to realize it was Carl. I sat up and rolled my eyes.

"What now Carl, couldn't you let me enjoy myself for 5 minutes. 5 minutes Carl". He started at me blankly but his body language said he was annoyed.

"No" he said flatly. "Dad wants you to meet someone" he said motioning with his head and started watching towards the prison. I sat up and followed eventually building up the courage to ask.

"Who?"

"Just Daryl"
