"it's for your own good, lola." i tell her sternly as she angrily shoved her clothes into a duffel bag. i leaned against our bunk bed that she was gonna have to say bye to for a couple days, weeks max. as she zips it closed she stands up from her position, swinging her bag over her shoulder. she whips around and sends me an annoyed expression, "but why? why is what i don't understand, you weren't exposed, so why can't you come with me?"
i sigh, taking a step closer to her, "because sweetie, all the old and the children are doing this too, you won't be alone and you'll be with carl the entire time." she rolls her eyes when i mentioned carl, "ugh, carl? i'm staying with that moron?" she replies, but with the smirk creeping up on her face i could tell she was joking. i just laugh, "i'll talk to you soon, we just can't be touching, okay?"
she nods in understanding, "that's fine, i guess."
"hey! c'mon moron we got isolation to tend to!" i hear carl say to lola, and when i turn around i see carl with his bags slumped on his shoulder, a growing smirk tugging at his lips at the fact he was teasing her.
"shut up, you numbskull." she snaps back as she walks past me, going to the administration building where quarantine was. carl followed after her, and as they got farther i could still hear them calling each other insults.
"dipstick."
"jackass."
"turkey!"
"dullard!"
"bozo!"
"imbecile!"
"poo-poo head!"
"that isn't even a real word!"
"at least i can spell phenomenal."
"shut up!"
i couldn't help but laugh, they remind me of karleen and i, calling each other 'whore' or 'hoe', but if anyone else said it they were gonna get slapped.
when i looked into me and lola's cell, it was basically empty, and i don't know how i'm gonna sleep without her with me, but i know with carl and hershel, she'd be safe.
unintentionally, my eyes draw to the floor, and that's when i saw a random cloth sticking out from under the bunk. with my eyes furrowed in curiousness, i crouch down and pull out from under there, and immediately, i knew what it was. karleen's old shirt.
