Michelle POV.
That was the scariest thing I ever experienced. I do not know how I got mixed up in all this. You would think my mom would be a worried parent and calling me like crazy but I had no new calls or texts. She doesn't care. For the first time it feels like some people do actually care, and thats Charlotte, and Daniel. James doesn't really acknowledge me at all. I don't get what his deal is. It didn't matter to me anything. Charlotte and I were becoming best friends. If she didn't look dead, you wouldn't have any idea she is a zombie. It was strange, I never had a best friend like her before. Especially with the fact she was a zombie.
Charlotte and James left to go get a few things. I was at the cabin with Daniel. This was the first time we ever actually had a conversation. "So what's like..." I asked him. He looked up and looked puzzled. "What?" He asked. I forgot to clarify. "You know..being dead and all...What's it like being a zombie?" He laughed a little, it wasn't much of a laugh because for them they can't laugh normal, its more of a chuckle. I guess the question did seem a bit silly so I laughed too. " I guess its just like being a human kinda, but most of us don't have the human feelings. I mean we feel things, but usually in a different manner. Not to mention we are dead so you know, we don't even have a heart beat." He said. I was amazed. "But Charlotte seems to have human feelings. And wow you don't have a heart beat? Thats...weird..but kinda cool." I said. I probably sounded like a amazed six year old. But I didn't care. I never believed in any thing like this before the other day. "Yeah shes special...and I know its weird not feeling a beat..come here." He said to me. I walked over to him. Carefully he grabbed arm and placed it over his chest. He was right. No heart beat. It was strange. But normal for him considering he was dead. "Thats...so...cool." I said. He chuckled. A moment we just paused and looked at each other. There was something about him I really was beginning to like. There was no way I could ever develop feelings for a zombie, but I was starting to.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I blushed. I zoned out for awhile and didn't realize I was still starring at him. "Yeah. I'm fine. So...um...what do you do for fun?" I asked trying to change the subject. He completely ignored my question. "You were just weirdly starring at me..." He said. I didn't even know what to say back. I felt embarrassed. He probably thought I was weird. I looked down and my feet. and felt me put his hand on my face. I looked up and he got closer to me. "You are beautiful." He said. I blushed even more. I had a feeling my face was a tomato now. I had a strange feeling he knew, how I was feeling about him. It was like he sensed it all. When I didn't answer he kissed me. It wasn't like kiss I ever had. HIs lips were cold as ice, but I liked it.
James and Charlotte came in the door. Daniel and I immediately pulled away and acted like nothing happened. Even though we both knew very well what just happened. I felt awkward but tried to ignore the feeling. "Hey guys!" Charlotte said setting down bags.
"So, um what did you guys get?" I asked Charlotte trying to get my mind over what just happened. I wanted to stop thinking about it. But I couldn't. How could he act like nothing just happened? Was he embarrassed? Its weird. You would think I would be the one who was acting funny, but I wasn't. I accept what he is. And I didn't really see anything wrong with it. I guess it was strange and shouldn't have happened. I needed to stop and focus on something else.
"Michelle? Were you listening?" James asked me looking at me with the most blank facial expression I've ever seen anyone have. "Huh? No, sorry, I zoned out. Um..What were we talking about?" I said pulling my sleeves over my cold hands. "We got you food, Are you hungry? I don't know much about cooking anymore considering, well after you are dead, you basically forget everything about when you were alive." Charlotte yelled from the kitchen. "Oh. Thats strange. But uh yeah I'm actually starving. But its okay, Charlotte, I know how to cook. You can just sit down and keep me company." I said getting up to go talk to her in the kitchen.
