How to Survive

Chapter Three

After the mall we all went back to the shelter and just laid on the floor, in a circle, just sharing laughs. I get up, and lay down on Charlotte's stomach, and everyone is just laying on each other's stomachs. When someone starts laughing, we all laugh, and we fell asleep like that. Some how we woke up in our beds, Cole is on the foot of my bed asleep in a little ball, Charlotte is with Alex, Bryan is with Daniel, and Stormy is by herself. I get up carefully trying not to wake up Cole, but I stepped on a loud toy and kinda woke everyone up. I start bursting out laughter with while trying to say sorry, they get up and playfully hit me. The way I see everyone is different from other people and I love it. Cole is my little brother, quiet but lovable of everyone especially me, Charlotte is very hardcore, punky even, Daniel, he's flirty but bubbly, Bryan, he's energetic and loud, Stormy is very stupid but weird, and Alex is very smart, and very nerdy, compared to me, I'm awkward and lazy. We all contrast each other out, but we always come together, when one of us is gone, we fall apart, literally. If one of us leaves just for the bathroom, we just sit there dying without one of us. We stick together through everything, even though we did just meet a few weeks ago, they really are my family. Anyways, school is starting soon and none of us are looking foreword to it, Cole, Charlotte and Stormy are in middle school and the rest of us are in highschool so we can't protect the younger ones which we all hate. I honestly don't think we will survive this, school is just a hell for everyone and a hell spawn for bullies. I hope we survive this...
