'WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW, STICK ARMS'

                                        It was 3rd Grade. I.. was a main target on getting bullied. I was super scrawny, and I was quite an outcast in school. Everyone excluded me from everything. I got locked inside lockers by some upperclassmen. And people would make fun of how I looked. Then I got spat on by mean girls. Life was awful. Until someone came.

"Wanna be Friends?"

"Sure! Hmm, d-do you also watch.."

"Yes! Let's hangout sometime..!"

"Friend..! "

Her name was Laura, and she was the first person to turn my life around. It was the first day of 4th Grade Class, and I had just sat quietly in my chair, while tapping my fingers on the table. Then, Laura came.

Teacher: Alright, class..! Today you are going to be joined by yet another friend..!

Laura: Hi! I hope we could all be friends! I like books, and watching cartoons!

Laura wasn't really the best looking when we were in 4th Grade, so most of the class just snickered after she said her introduction. But Laura had a kind heart. She talked to someone as.. Horrible, a-and, as disgusting, and horrific as me..

Laura: Hi! I'm Laura! Wanna be friends?

Claire: I-I-I... I u-u-uhhhhmm.. O-okay.. T-thanks.. No one r-r-really talks to me that much..

Laura: Ohh, Don't worry! I'm pretty sure we could make more friends together!

Claire: Y-you think so..??

Laura: Yeah! And together, we could form our own CLUB!

Claire: YAYYY!

That was 4 years ago. Then, 7th Grade came. Laura had changed through the years. Physically and Mentally. I had, too. But the thing is, Laura kind of got.. Distant.

Claire: Hey Laura, can I sit with you for lunch? It'll be like the old-

Laura: No. Why would I hang out with a loser like you?! You're just a freak.

Claire: B-but-

Laura: UGH, I hate my old self- Why did I even bother being friends with you in the first place?! You know what, just.. GO! Leave me alone!

Claire: Okay..

After that, I was too scared to even talk to Laura again.

July 10

Maki: Aaaalright.. Bad news.. We uhhhmm.. Ran out of food..

Blake: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Angus: GAHHHH, this wretched pla-

Rebecca: I'm sure we could go get some food in a nearby store or something..

Claire: Yeah..! We could go stash some food at 7 Eleven. It's really near..!

Blake: Yeahh.. But what about the zombies? Remember what happened to the guy with us a couple days ago?

Maki: Yeah but, if we don't get food, we're still gonna starve ourselves to death.

Rebecca: Well, if that's the case, then we can't split up.

Blake: B-b-but WHAT IF THE ZOMBIES ARE GONNA EAT US??!!
