I walked around town for a little while. I came to a stop at the town park. Time past and I studied the new book. When I finished reading the differences between Voodoo and real zombies, I started walking home, when I run into my eighth grade buddy, Alex Chamberlain.
"What are you doing out here, well, at this time," I asked, see it was still dim out.
"Workout," He replied with a bored sound to his voice.
"Why, you don't want to be a marshmallow anymore," I said, joking, and rubbing his stomach.
"Maybe," He said looking at the ground.
We walked back towards my house. Being in the middle of town we had lots of time to talk.
"What’s with the bloody machete," He asked, stepping a little to the side.
"Huh? Oh, this? Book store problems," I said laughing casually.
"O-o-kay? What did you do?" He said stopping, and walking a few feet ahead.
"....uh...it’s complicated," I said.
What if he thinks I'm crazy if I talk about zombies!! I thought to myself.
"Annemarie Smith, what is this all about," He said with a hint of caution.
He always calls me by my full name when he's serious. I liked to be called Anne.
"Uh...well..." I said stuttering.
I told him the whole story. He is my only friend I can trust with my secrets. When I was talking he just kept nodding his head. I hope he didn’t think I was crazy. The big choice was if I should keep telling him and showing him the book or if I should just start running away so I don’t look crazy. I decided to keep telling him, he was a good friend and he would never let me down.
“Okay, so you’re saying you went to a book store, found this book in the middle of a room, then saw a zombie come out of nowhere. Also there is still another zombie out there that will bite people and make them zombies. Then when there are tons of zombies we, meaning me, you and some friends will have to kill them? Is that what you’re saying?” He said in only two breathes
“Exactly,” I said looking, relieved that someone else understands.
We were at my house when we were done talking. The sun was beginning to rise so I quickly got in the house and ran to my bed to look like I was never gone.
“Can’t you just smell the Sunday morning,” My dad said, cheery and ready for a day of relaxation. You could see something was going to happen today. Dad is never cheery on Sunday. Well, even if I got no sleep last night, I was excited for today. I get to go visit Alex. I’m visiting him because it’s his birthday! I had his present and card all ready. No one’s going to be there because I’m his only true friend. We will probably look through my new book. It fun to visit Alex because we just have so much in common and we can just talk for hours.
To Be Continued...
