"I'm expecting guests."

"Uhm, what." Violet said, more so snapped, in Clementine's direction. Watching as the teen started for the gates, the blonde darted after her. "You don't get to just invite people in here. It's a security risk."

Clementine said nothing.

Violet scoffed, visibility irritated at Clementine's refusal to listen. "Who are these people? How long are they staying? Will we need to feed them?"

"Everything will be fine, I know them." Clementine claimed, pausing to shrug her shoulders. "They've saved my life. They're good people."

Violet raised an eyebrow, but it fell hearing crunching footsteps to her side — Marlon and Louis approaching their bicker session.

Clementine raised an eyebrow too — a challenge. "They're bringing food."

Violet's eyes widened, her tense and harsh demeanour falling. There was a moment of pause, long enough for the two boys to approach, before she spoke. "Let them in the second they get here."

"Them?" Marlon's joyous attitude was wiped hearing Violet's statement, his gaze turning to Clementine instead of Louis. "Who's them?"

The crunching of steps approaching the Boarding School's gate sent a wave of tension through their shoulders. All except for Clementine. All she did was smile and cross her arms. "They're them."

In a mere moment, she spotted a familiar smiling face peeking through the front gates, a baseball bat strapped to his back and a jersey adorning on his chest. "Clementine!" Javier beamed, adjusting the duffel bag of food in his palm. "We made it."

Clementine smirked, feeling a rush of excitement swarm her chest. She said nothing, only trotted the last few paces to the gate to swing the door open and let the group inside. "Welcome guys."

The first action upon entering the gate was expected. Javi tossed his duffel to the side and opened his arms wide to meet Clementine's. Instantly the two embraced, grabbing at the back of each other's shirts.

"I'm so glad you're safe." He breathed into her hat, his palms rubbing at her back.

Clementine grinned the entire while. "I'm glad you guys are too."

As they pulled away, each beaming, Kate darted up from behind. "Clem," she breathed, wrapped the teen in a hug of her own. "It's so nice to see you again."

Clementine could feel her eyes widen, taken aback by the kindness of the female. After all, they had never been terribly close. There was something about seeing someone years later, about knowing they were alive after all that time that brought a calmness to one's heart. It wasn't a hug of familiarity. It was a hug of gratitude that yet another human had made it. Another person on their side was still alive.

As Kate stepped aside, going to set her duffel down with Javier's, in walked the final person Clem was waiting for. Gabe, a beaming grin on his face, set down his duffel. "Clem,"
