"And now I'm here..." Henri finished.

So as of right now Henri is explaining how and why he came into my house. I guess I understand where the kid is coming from. I'm still a little ticked off that he just came in here though, I mean wouldn't anyone?

Ok this is a little confusing. Let me explain. Cue the Flashback!

***

"You better have a good explanation on why you came in here or lord help me I will-"

"I do, I do, I do! I promise I do! Just please let me explain." He cuts me off. I furrow my eyebrows in anger.

"You have two minutes." I tell him. He nods and starts to explain his situation.

"I was in danger. Being chased by not only infected but survivors too. They wanted to kill me and I wasn't armed. I had no where else to go! I had chains. That's what I had. I had nothing else. I was running for my life and that's when I ended up here. It was high security and I tried to signal whoever was living here but no one answered! So I hacked the system and came inside. No one was here so I figured it was abandoned." He finished and by the end of his long explanation I actually felt some sorrow.

"So how did you get the infected connected to the walls of the place?" I asked him. He shrugged.

"I said I had chains and I put them to use. I got two or three on each side in two days. So that's how they're, there." He answered.

"So how many are on each side?" I ask.

"About eight or nine." He shrugs. I nod. "Look I'm sorry for-" he starts but I cut him off.

"You don't need to apologize. I see where your coming from." I tell him.

And now we're here.

Now that I'm looking at Henri I realize that's he's not built too bad. It's for sure that he works out. He's at least six foot if not taller with bulky arms, and who knows what he has under his T-shirt.

Now I'm wondering how I even got him pinned to the ground. Just the thought of
it is amusing. He probably let me.

If you were to look at the guy you wouldn't think he's a total nerd at first glance. He does wear glasses though, with dark brown hair, completely unlike like Ethan's sandy blond hair.

"How tall am I?" I mumble to myself walking around my room looking for a pencil. I scavenged through my drawers and on my desk. I though I had a pen somewhere?

I turn around in purpose to ask Henri if he used my pen, and everyone is looking at me like I'm a weirdo.

"Did I do something wrong?" I cautiously ask them. Ethan chuckles and Tech starts laughing uncontrollably. In honesty, it sort of sounds forced. And she's totally an aware that she's humiliating herself in front of us.

By now she's still laughing hard and all of us are looking at her like she's gone completely insane.

When she's finished with her little laughing spell she starts to talk in between taking breaths.

"You...want to know...how tall you are? In in the middle of an apocalypse. Jeez you don't think about priorities do you?" She asks sarcastically. I roll my eyes because her statement definitely isn't doing her justice.

"Last time I checked were inside my room not fighting off infected. And what's so wrong with wanting to know my height? I haven't measured myself since the third grade." I tell her.
