As I got up and ready for school, I smelt something nice. I went out I to the kitchen to see beth. she was cooking pancakes. I loved pancakes..
Beth gave me a plate. "you know, you don't need to be nervous. all these kids have gone through the same thing as you. seen people get killed. seen the dead. killed people. your not any different" beth said. well she was right, I guess. I mean they have seen people get killed and stuff. "I know" I said in a whisper.
I walked out the door when I hear Daryl yell "Bri-bri wait" I saw him come out of the hallway with his coat on. he handed me my coat "don't wanna get cold" he said and winked. "thanks" I replied. he gripped my hand "I'll walk with you."
It reminded me of the time before it was walkers. and my dad said he would walk with me to school.
I sighed and the. Started walking.
"So, excited?" Daryl said
"A little" I said
"Well, I'm sure...." he stopped. he didn't really know what to say so I decided to change the topic. "well I'm going into year 4 and I have a lot to catch up on. when the apocalypse started I was in year 2" I said
"Yeah.." Daryl said trailing off "Carl was in year 3" he said
I smiled "I wish we could just bring em back, YA know?!" I said. I knew he was missing Rick and carl. I started to think about them, then stopped in my tracks and Daryl looked at me confused. "sasha had judith. they hid in the bush. she said she would come out if we made it. so she still has to be alive! they have too! We never knew what happened to Judith! We could get a grimes back, and sasha!" I said
"That's stupid. there dead." Daryl said
"You don't know that!" I half yelled at him. event though there's no walkers anymore, I just like to be quiet. It was natural to me now.
"Well, we can't look for them now. you have school." Daryl said
I nodded "but we look for them when I get out." I said sternly.
Event though I'm just a kid I still act like an adult. like I was told, no more kid stuff. so now i mean sometimes I just act like an adult.
~At school~
I walked into the school gates saying goodbye to daryl.
It looks like some other kids all ready made friends, so when I walked in it felt like everyone just stopped and stared at me. I felt weird and just Ingored it.
I was never the one to go up to someone and make friends. I let them come to me... no one did. but I did noitce a boy staring at me. and he was in my class aswell.
When the last bell rang to go home, I felt a gush of excitement run over me. I knew I was gonna find Judy and Sasha. I grabbed my bag and ran out, to see BETH and Daryl!
The kid staring at me earlier saw me looking at my family "seems like one messed up family. no one looks like anyone" he said. obviously talking about beth, daryl and me. I looked at him "well, not everyone survived! And I'm sure you made new friends who you would call family!" I said. the boy just walked over to his family or whatever and they left.
I watched them for a bit before going over to BETH and Daryl. I looked at him excitedly "c'mon c'mon!!! We gotta find em!!" Grabbing Daryl's hand and trying to pull him along.
He wasn't moving.. I stopped and looked at him sadly and confused "wh-what's goin on?" I said
Daryl took one last breath before telling me....
