Authors notes: Hey! It's me, The author guy. Just know, It might be a while between each chapter as my current English teacher in school kills my love for writing so I barely have any motivation.I'm going to TRY and use Semicolons more, I barely use them because I didn't understand how they worked until recently and I use commas instead. I'll try. If I use commas a lot, I'm sorry. Until I was year 6 I was in a school where I was taught that commas were God's plan and shit. Have fun reading, Y'all.
Clementine and Marlon stepped out of the school, Wind hitting Clementine in the face as soon as she did. Tenn was already outside and standing by a pillar; he was looking away from Clementine, Obviously a bit nervous. Clementine was shocked as she saw walls that were not made out of flimsy and rusted pieces of sheet metal and planks of wood like she had expected, but were made out of brick and concrete. With some upgrades to the gate, this place would be easily defensible. She stumbled back, Suprised at her discovery. "Uh...you alright? You wanna sit down?" Marlon said, slightly worried. "N-no...I'm okay, just a bit surprised." She replied hastily. As she walked forward and placed her hand on a brick pillar; she looked around, still slightly shocked. "You been out there, surviving for a while, huh?" The man asked. "Yeah, Me and AJ...We've been on the road a long time; pretty much since this whole thing started." Clementine replied as her hand felt the grooves in-between the bricks. "I guess you know how to handle yourself, then," Marlon said. He was curious, Clem was interesting, if he was honest, talking to the same people for several years was pretty dull.
"You don't know the half of it." She sighed. They both began walking down a stone path as Tenn ran infront of them both before whistling to a girl on the wall and then pointing to Clementine. The girl sat up and looked at her. Clementine smiled before getting her attention taken by Marlon. "Wasnt easy getting you and your boy out of the car, Walkers were on their way too; almost lost a person. Glad we got you out, though." He said. Clementine liked this place, it looked secure and there were people that looked friendly here, she still needed to know if the car was still usable, however. "The car, I'm assuming it's totaled?" She asked, a sliver of hope still remaining in her. There were barely any cars still functioning now. "Yeah. It ain't gonna work." He replied. "Fuck." She stopped, Thinking about it, they'd probably never drive a car again.
"Had to work fast. Dunno what we woulda done if we didn't see the smoke. Give it another minute and the walkers would be on your ass." Marlon mumbled. "I appreciate it.." She said, almost subconsciously, as she noticed this boy staring at her. She was a little weirded out, it brought back memories, and not good ones. "Uh...Hello?" she said slightly anxiously. The guy ran off to a tower, climbing a wooden ladder. Clementine began walking again, catching up to Marlon in half a second. "What's that guy's problem?" She said, gesturing to Willy, who was now completely up the ladder and now on the tower searching for walkers. "You're just new... We've never seen anything like you in..Well...Ever." He said, stopping again. "What is this place? I can guess that it used to be a school, and who's in charge here?" She asked the man. "As you said, It's used to be a school...But now it's whatever we want it to be. And for who's in charge. That'd be me. It sounds strange, kids run by a kid, but we get by just fine."
Clementine looked all around, Yet again admiring the brick walls and the flag pole with a red polo shirt on top of it. She wondered how this place worked, she had always thought that adults were the only ones mature enough to run a place like this, but obviously not. A smile began to show on her face. "Seriously? There are no adults here? Pretty cool how you've made it this far without them." She said enthusiastically. "Wasnt always like this though...People leave, they die. There were more of us. But I made us a system that works well enough to run this place. Allow me to make it formal, Welcome to Ericson's boarding school for troubled youth. You and your kid, You both fit that description... It's hard to be alive in a world like this without being a bit "Troubled.." " He introduced Clementine to this area although she already thought that this could be a place to live if they allowed her.
"Me and AJ are angels. You can't change that." She said with a big smirk on her face. "Speaking of your boy, he's been a terror while he's been her-" He was cut off by Clementine, She made a mental note to stop doing that."Excuse me?" She said while stepping forward. Marlon turned to face Clementine. "Let's just say he hasn't been happy without you around."
"Yo! Marlooon! We got walkers on the fence!" The weird boy yelled. "Ah, shit. I gotta go take care of this. Knowing Willy it's probably two grandma walkers and an angry squirrel. You got bigger fish."
That's the end of Chapter two. Hope you had a good time reading. I'm saying this now, expect pauses between uploads. I have a lot to do at the moment and not much motivation to write. But I still like doing it and do it while I can. I would've liked to make some of the Paragraphs a bit shorter but I couldn't. I like how it turned out anyway. Be good people Y'all.
