After playing several games of Apples to Apples which Amy and Sophia tied in the amount of wins, Sophia and Maddy went to play with Eliza and Amy and I decided to stay in the RV.
"So you went hunting with Daryl?" Amy asked as I moved to sit on the other side of the table.
"Yeah, we got a doe and about a dozen squirrels," I answered.
"Did you guys do anything else?" Amy asked.
"Well, he gave me my first cigarette and we smoked and talked for a little," I shrugged.
"Just a cigarette huh? How about a fleshy one?" Amy wiggled her eyebrows and I rolled my eyes as I kicked her in the shin.
"Ow!" She cried out in pain.
"Don't be so damn dirty Amy, you sounded like me when I was in high school," I told her and she laughed.
"Hey, I'm just saying, you two were out there for like 6 hours. Who knows what could've happened," Amy teased and I scoffed.
"I highly doubt that Daryl sees me like that," I told her.
"So you see him like that?" Amy asked.
"I never said that!" I exclaimed.
"Oh! Cass has a crush!" Amy grinned and I kicked her in the shin again.
"Jesus! You're giving me a bruise," Amy cried out and I chuckled.
"You keep asking for it," I told her and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," Amy told me.
"So I notice that your eyes will linger on Shane now and then," I told her and it was her turn to roll her eyes.
"Whatever. He's hot and all but I know he's not interested in me," Amy told me.
"Not to mention he's a douche," I told her.
"No, he isn't!" Amy exclaimed.
"Oh yeah he is. Wait until a walker appears and he has to pick between saving you or himself, he's going to save himself so that he can protect Lori and Carl," I told her.
"That's a very noble reason," Amy defended and I rolled my eyes.
"It's not out of the goodness of his heart," I mumbled.
"Whatever, you have to admit he's pretty hot," Amy continued, not hearing me.
"He is pretty attractive, I just don't like him that much," I shrugged.
"Good now I don't disown you as my best friend," Amy joked and I smiled.
"Want to play a round of checkers?" Amy asked.
"Sure why not? We have time to kill," I shrugged and Amy grabbed a checker board and set it up.
"Cassandra?" Carol peeked her head and smiled at us.
"Hello Carol! Do you need anything?" I greeted her with a smile.
"Oh no, I was just going to ask if you want to go bathe in the lake with me? Shane told me I should bring someone and I thought you might want to come along," Carol told me with a soft smile on her face as she held up a towel, some small toiletries, and a change of clothes.
"Sure, save this game for later?" I asked Amy.
"Of course! I should probably go check on the girls too, have fun!" We both got up from the table and I walked with Carol as Amy walked over to Eliza and Maddy.
"I don't have a change of clothes but I have some toiletries in my tent if I could go grab them," I told her and she smiled.
"You can use some of my stuff, just go grab your towel," Carol told me and I smiled.
"Thanks Carol," I smiled at her and I ran towards my tent and grabbed the white towel that Glenn gave back to me from my backpack since some of the stuff I had I could keep in the backpack.
"Let's go," I told Carol as I walked back to her and we walked down to the lake.
"So I heard you went hunting with Daryl," Carol commented.
"Yes and all we did was hunt, have a cigarette, and talk a little," I told her and she looked at me.
"You smoke?" Carol asked in surprise.
"I never did before Daryl offered me one. They aren't that bad, they just give me bad memories which is why I never had one before all of this," I shrugged.
"You're not the only one with bad memories with cigarettes?" Carol mumbled.
"Does Ed smoke?" I asked.
"Yes, why?" Carol asked and I understood where her bad memories came from.
"Nothing really, I was just curious," I shrugged and she nodded.
We soon arrived at the lake and after glancing around and making sure that no one was nearby, we both stripped and dipped into the lake, staying near the land where our towels and toiletries were.
"This is so cold!" Carol exclaimed as she grabbed the shampoo and I grabbed the bar of soap.
"It's not too bad," I told her as I scrubbed myself down.
"Thanks for coming down here with me," Carol told me as we switched items.
"Not a problem. Where's Ed?" I asked her.
"Oh, he and Sophia wanted to go hiking so they went hiking, they should be back in a few hours so I decided to go wash," Carol lied and I raised an eyebrow.
"Ed doesn't seem like the hiking type," I told her.
"Oh, he just wanted to spend some alone time with Sophia and she wanted to go hiking so he went!" Carol lied again and I decided to drop it knowing that if I dug too deep, she'd probably burst into tears.
"So what did you do before all of this?" I asked Carol.
"Oh, I was a stay at home mom. I would substitute sometimes but usually Ed brought home the bacon with his job as a mechanic," Carol answered and I nodded.
"Do you have any crazy story as a substitute?" I asked her.
"They're probably not as crazy as yours but this one time," Carol started her story which I listen to but I also felt this tingling sense that I was being watched.
"So the kid stapled his hand, told you that he was going to the nurse, and then walked away?" I asked in surprise.
"Crazy right?" Carol asked and I laughed.
"We should probably go back up to camp huh?" I asked.
"That'd be a good idea," Carol nodded and I grabbed my towel and quickly wrapped it around me once I stepped out of the lake.
I quickly dried myself off and then slipped my old clothes on as Carol slipped on a loose light, purple tank top, light brown cargo pants, and some ratty looking purple flats.
"Let's go up to camp and see if dinner's ready," I told her and she nodded.
"It probably will be in a few minutes," Carol nodded and we started our walk up and I felt like I was being watched again.
"Enjoyed the peep asshole?" I asked out loud and I snickered as I heard a twig snap.
"How did you know that someone was watching us?" Carol asked in surprise.
"Just had the feeling," I shrugged as we continued our walk towards camp, a pair of Caribbean blue eyes watching us.
Hello! This one was kind of a filler chapter since the next one actually has some issues with some people *cough* *cough* Ed *cough* *cough* so yeah!
