I spent the next weeks with the Woodbury folks. The are outsiders, like me, so I guess I feel good with them. Jake, my new "watchpartner" is nicely enough. He speaks too much, and sometimes I would like he to shut up, but I have no desires to kiss him. So, at this point, is the best partner I could have.

Carl and his new BFF Beth, seem to be getting very close. They spend almost all the time together. Some days I cannot stand it. Fuck. Fuck, fuck fuck.

I'm in the yard when I saw Beth waving and approaching me.

- Sarah, came later to my cell, ok?.- she is always smiling. I HATE THAT.

- Wait,.. why?

- It's a surprise...just come ok?

Later that night I came by Beth's cell. Carol is already there, wearing a sexy dress.

- Hi... wow Carol!

- You see...Beth...is too much! I can't wear this...I..

- Carol, you look gorgeous .- I said.- Really, you look amazing.

- See? .- Beth is smiling.- You have to wear it...Daryl will love it.

- Beth...- Carol blushed.- We aren't like that...we are just friends..I've told you already...

- Fine, fine. - Beth hands me a bag.- open it!

- What is it?.- I open the bag and I found out a red dress.- Beth...I appreciate but..I don't wear dresses.

- Come on! Sarah! I know you are not into dresses...but this one is perfect for you, is not too fancy and you will look gorgeous in it.

- But...I...

- Sarah, let's make a deal.- Carol says.- I'll wear my dress...if you wear yours, ok?

- Ok, ok, fine. - I take the dress.- But I'm not wearing high heels!

- Hahahaha.- Beth laughs.- Fine, fine.

That night, during our watch shift, Jake is quiter than usual. I'm not complaining, but is weird. After an hour, he has barely spoke. It's creeping me out.

- Jake...you alright?

- Mmm...yeah...why you ask?

- 'cause you are always talking, and today...you are silent..

- I just...I'm not...Nevermind.

- You are feeling sick or something? I cant take over by myself...

- No, I'm fine...I just...you will think I'm stupid.

- came on Jake, spit it our.

- OK...mmmm...I don't have a date for the wedding, and I don't want to go by myself...- he looks up.- see..you think is stupid.

- No, look.- I really think is stupid.- Maybe I think is stupid for me, but I get is important to you. And I respect that. Have you asked someone?

- yeah...i asked Beth...but she has a date already...

- Oh... who is she going with?

- Carl...- he looks sad...and by the look he is giving me, I guess I look sad too.- I'm sorry...I know you and Carl were close 'fore.

- I don't mind Jake...- I'm getting better at lying.- Look, you don't want to go alone and I don't have a date...so...wanna go together?

- You don't have to do that, Sarah...I..

- It will be a pleasure. So?

- Ok, ok, we are going together.

I smile and we start talking as usual. I don't want to think about Carl and Beth, dancing at the wedding and kissing. Fuck.
