Chapter 2

Sam's POV

"Seriously? That's all you could think of?" I ask, unsatisfied with Albert's plan.

"Well what else do you suppose we do huh?" he snaps back angrily. "Do you want us to just let everybody take it all at once so they'll starve later?"

"But isn't there any other way? It'll feel like we're rationing, like people did during the world wars, is that what we want to put out there?" I question him.

"Of course not!" He answers with a serious expression, "I just mean that we can't let kids just run in here and take all the food, because when the food runs out they'll be more people dead than alive."

I shake my head and run my fingers through my hair. "What about the fields that the farmers had planted before they disappeared? Do you think we could get people from a certain age to help out in them? Say they won't get food if they don't put in a certain amount of hours a week?" I ask.

"I don't know" Albert says. "That also might come across a little harsh, but it might work."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Astrid and get her to schedule a meeting with her council." I answer.

I exit Ralphs and immediately get surrounded by kids as they started pounding me with questions, "Where's the food? Why don't I have powers? Why can't I go into Ralphs to get food? Where're my parents?"

I just ignore all the questions as I head over to the place where Astrid and I are staying with Mary (when she's there) and John (Astrid seems to like to call it her house).

On the way to "Astrid's" house Edilio caught up to me. "What up man?" "Nothin" I mumble. "I heard you are getting swarmed with kids whenever you go out, is it true?" He questions.

"Ya, and it freakin pisses me off!" I answer angrily.

Woe man its okay, do you want like a bodyguard or something?" He jokes.

"I'm not in the mood 'Delio."

"Okay fine man I was just trying to lighten your spirits."

He walks with me to Astrid's house and bids me farewell as he turns to go to his own home.

I knock on the door and let myself in.

"Astrid?" I call out. "Where are you? In Little Pete's room!" She calls back.

As I head up to Pete's room I see a picture of a zeke on her laptop. When are the horrors going to end?

Dekka's POV

I knit my eyebrows together in concentration, and then slowly raised my arm, directing my powers to 50 feet away.

Slowly, very very slowly the rocks began to rise up. "Yes" I shout out and fist pump my hand. The rocks immediately fell to the ground.

"Crap, shouldn't have done that." I say under my breath.

"No you shouldn't have" a voice from behind me says.

I jump and turn around to see who it was. Brianna of course.

"How long have you been standing there?" I ask. "To me it feels like 10 minutes but to you probably like 1, they don't call me "The Breeze" for nothing" she answers.

"Oh. Ok then what's up, why are you here?" "I was just seeing how fast I could run a 1500 meter dash and I saw you as I was running so I stopped and didn't say anything so I wouldn't disturb your hard work." She answers mischievously.

"Oh come on, what were you actually doing?" I ask. "Ok fine I just wanted to ask you something" She says, and my heart starts pounding. Did she know? How does she feel about it?

"What?" I ask, keeping my face neutral. "Well there's this person that I like, but I don't know if that person likes me back, how do I get that person to like me?" She asks.

"Brianna, can you tell me who this person is, it really depends on who it is and what their interested in?" "I don't want to say, but I will because I trust you and I know you won't laugh at me." My heart starts pounding even faster, could it be me she likes? Please let it be me.

"It's Computer Jack." She answers.

WHAT? COMPUTER JACK? What does she see in that guy? Sure he's nice and all, but why? I don't even think she knows him all that well.

"Sorry but I don't know him all that well and I don't think you do either. Have you even thought about this?" I say, hiding the disappointment from my face.

"Not really, but I do know that whenever I'm around him I get tingles in my body. I know that he's cute and dorky but who cares? I think I like him." She states, breaking my heart in two.

"Well then, act how you normally act because I think he might like you too, plus your personality is fun so it's fun to be around you." I say.

"Are you sure he likes my personality?" she questions. "I know a lot of people who hate it."

"I'm positive. Now don't you have something that you need to be doing?"

"Oh, yeah right. Thanks Dekka you're the best." She says and gives me a small hug. It's the most I can do by not blushing.

"See ya." she says and zooms away until I can't see her anymore.

I wish I could just talk to her about the way I feel about her. Oh well I need to keep practicing and try lifting the rocks again, I can't. My hearts just not that into it anymore.
