My name is Kmart and I'm a survivor from the undead outbreak, I'm turning 18 this year.
I'm lying in the hummer, I've had my dinner and lied in the hummer til everyone in the camp went to bed. Well I haven't really gone to bed, I just lie here thinking about the outbreak and my life since then. I don't sleep anymore I just think.
When Claire comes to check on me I just pretend to sleep until she hops in and drifts off to sleep next to me. Now getting really bored just lying here,
I slowly get up and quietly open the hummer door and close it, walking away from the soring tired leader Claire
I walk past the other cars where the other survivors were sleeping, the truck and the ambulance, the school bus, kicking the sand as I make my way into the opening desert, I sat down into the warm sand after knowing that I won't sleep for another few hours.
I decided to watch the rising sunset that I started doing these past weeks, it's so beautiful. Lucky I haven't got caught or Claire would kill me if she knew I was out here unsupervised telling me how dangerous it was for me and the convoy.
It was the only thing I could do to be alone cause well Claire likes to keep an eye on me I understand its protection it's just annoying when you want to be alone and I'm around her all day which is torture, why you must be thinking well I have a crush on her and its getting bigger every day.
And I also have other secrets that nobody knows about like, I'm autistic with ADHD and I haven't had medicine since the outbreak so it's very hard to sit still in front of the others and worse I can't look someone in the eyes more than 5 seconds.
There's a reason why I haven't told anyone like Claire is cause I know what they would do, try to get me on medicine and telling me what to do and I'm 18 soon they can't do anything. I think Claire notices I space out a lot but lucky she just says it's me.
Playing with the sand, putting it in my hands and watching it slowly fall out and back on to the ground, getting bored I decided to clean and sharpen my blade I have and another 10 minutes of cleaning it and double looking to check if I missed a spot I dried it with the end of my t-shirt.
Getting my sharpening rock out of one of my jacket pockets I hold the blade out and look where it needs sharpening and after 8 minutes of sharpening it I put it down knowing it sharp as a cutting blade. I relax sitting down watching the endless sunset after 15 minutes of endless thinking I check my iPod (yes I still have kept it for good reasons) it says 6:30 great been out here for nearly 2 hours well that's what my brain does to you.
I start hearing some noise behind me, knowing that Carlos is up for a daily route to check everything is ok and more people getting up after him. I knew it was my time to get moving before Claire finds out where I've disappeared and getting in deep shit for it.
I quickly put my iPod in my pocket and followed with the blade and rock, and start jogging back to the campsite so no one notices I have left, I see Carlos talking to betty with his back behind me, knowing that's my chance to sneak past him I quickly sprint past him before he knew what went past him. Running up to the hummer and opening the hummer door fast and noticing Claire's not in the backseat where I left her…SHIT.
I quickly shut the hummer door and do a quick getaway run back behind the cars and towards the camp and sit down and saying hey to the little kids, acting like I've been here this whole time, maybe she will buy it oh god I hope she does..
Trying to calm down my pulse and steady my breathing... as I look around the campsite I see Mikey at his van and he smiled and waved at me and I made my way over to him when I saw Claire coming around the corner, jogging over to Mikey so I hoped she didn't see me, I climbed into his van shutting the door and giving him a smile.
'Hey' Mikey' I say trying to act normal... as I could and looking him in the eyes for 3 seconds.. (That's a record)
'Hey Kmart what you doing up this early? Giving me a smile and turning back to one of the computers as he starting typing something important.
'Oh well I just thought I needed to do a change'... I say to him slowly nodding my head as I look around the van noticing a lot of cords and computers.
'Oh ok well I think Claire is looking for you little one', she seemed worried '
What's up with you lately Kmart'? 'You seem really spaced out more than usual and you don't really smile anymore'?
Shocked by his questions, and scared by the fact Claire is looking for me which means she knows that I've been sneaking out at night and the early mornings.
I slowly turn my head back towards him, seeing a frown on his face, that's when I lost it again.
'Well I have things to do that are more important than to talk to Claire' and I don't care I can take care of myself!' I'm 18 soon and I don't need her on my back very 24/7'
and for fuck sake she's not my fucking mum' And nothings up with me and the reason why I space out is cause its better then living in this fucking stupid universe with you guys,' also the reason why I'm not smiling anymore cause there's nothing to fucking smile about!'
As soon as I finished I saw Mikey's face that was covered with pure shock with his mouth hanging wide open and I knew I was goanna get in deep shit for swearing and worse yelling from Claire.
'Sorry I got to go' I quickly say to him and turning around, grabbing the handle and jumping out of the van and walking over to everyone who is looking at me and worse Claire is staring at me.. Fuck she must have heard the whole conversion, I wasn't that loud was i?..
Update soon guys.
We need more clarie/kmart stories..
