Cool Girl

She began to slowely walk closer. I edged back slightly.

I need to be cautios, the governer has proved that not all people can be trusted. If only they could.

The girk could see i was slightly weary and stopped.

She reached around to a leather sachel wich was hanging over her shoulders.

Then she pulled out a pen and a notepad.

She fliped it around in the air so that i could see it clearley, then she put her hands in the air as she walked closer.

She wrote on the paper befor eturning it and showing me.

Hi, my name's jule

Hi

I wrote back.

I handed her back the pen and pad.

Your name??

Harper

Pretty

Thanks

She smiled when she wrote that, i hope i can trust her. She d9esnt look nasty, although, looks can be deceiving.

I hope this doesnt offend you but, are you mute or something??

No, i am deaf, i can speak, but, it doesnt sound correct because i can hear it.

Oh, im sorry.

Dont be, i dont know anything diffrent. Its what makes me, me.

Were you a philosopher beforehand, or did the end of the world give you a new profession.

We both laughed at what we wrote.

Do you have a camp?

I hesitated before writing back, is it safe to tell her im by myself, or should i lie and say i have a group.

No, do you?

Not really, theirs three other people tht im traveling with. We have a tent. So technicaly its a camp. You wanna go their.

Ok

She placed the pad and pen back into her satchel before gesturing for me to follow.

We walked for a mile ir two before she stopped me and pointed down.

Their was a trip wire. I followed along it and at the end were cans and cutlery, anything that would make a sound really.

We stepped over it cautiosley and continued walking until the silhouettes of three people stood around a fire outside a tent, came into view.

She wasnt lying....
