Run Away

Making My Home

Zach and I were still standing here in the woods looking at each other awkwardly.

"You are going to live here with me, right?"

"Uh yeah, if there's enough room. If there isn't I can always stay somewhere el-"

"No Kendall. There's enough room for both of us to stay here. So are you going to stay?"

I looked at him blankly. Not sure what to say at first. I quickly gathered my words, and spoke.

"Of course. Yes, Yes I'll stay. Thank you, thank you very much."

"Well what are you waiting for? Lets get building!"

The first thing we built was my hammock. He told me that the hammock can sometimes me more comfortable then the bed. We gathered sticks, and he happened to have some rope. I was going to ask, but I decided not to. Surprisingly, it didn't take too long to build a hammock, it was only about an hour. That's including gathering the sticks.

"Alright, good job Kendall. Now you have somewhere to sleep tonight! Are you hungry? I have some food over there."

He pointed to his minnie cooler.

"Yeah, a little. I don't need a lot though!"

I was pretty hungry, but I didn't want to seem greedy, or rude. He's nice enough to let me stay in his home!

"Alright come right this way, and you can choose what you'd like to eat!"

He gestured me over to the cooler, and I followed. He opened it up all the way, so I could see everything that was in there.

"Grab whatever you'd like."

I quickly looked through what was there, and decided to take two granolabars. I put one in my bag, and ate the other.

"Alright lets go!"

"Lets go? Where? Where are we going!"

"I need some more rope, so I can help build you one of those tire swings."

"Ok, well where are you going to get the rope from?"

"At some rope store. They have a very good selection of ropes."

"Zach you have money? How, where did you get the money from?"

"Kendall I never said I was going to pay for it! Now come on lets go, we don't want to be late!"

"Wait what!"

"It's ok, trust me, alright?"

"Alright. Lets go."

I couldn't believe what was actually happening. I was going to steal? Zach's a stealer? What if we get caught? I honestly don't like this at all! But I have no other choice but to go with him...
