Ch. 4-August 22nd 2008

I camped out last night about halfway through town hoping the place wouldn’t be lit up while I was sleeping. I woke early the next morning and decided to get an early start towards the base. On the way, one of the kids from my school noticed me and was trying to call me but I couldn’t hear him. He followed me until he got right up behind me and as I was looking cautiously around the corner I felt a tap on my shoulder, I barely kept myself from screaming at the top of my lungs and instead I took a big gasp. I immediately recognized him as a boy I knew, his name was Jordan Hunt. From the first time I saw him I had an awesome feeling about him, it was almost as if I had a crush on this guy. But there was no way, no possible way I could be gay. He had cool eyes, the kind you could stare at for hours and never get tired of them. He had a similar body build to mine, skinny, but not anorexic, he had dirty blonde hair and was about three inches shorter than me. When he saw me jump he said that it was ok and he wasn’t going to hurt me, I smiled when I saw someone my age still alive. I pulled him into the closest building that was still standing and asked him what he wanted. He told me he didn’t know where his parents were and he had nowhere to go or hide and he wanted to go with me. I felt sorry for him and I told him I was going to the military base to look for a underground room that I could try to survive in, and that if he wanted to come with me, that he need to stay hidden from the aliens and stay close to me.
