New Friend?
•••••••••••••••••••
It's been a week, since I stayed here in the Bennett's Residence. I've become close with everyone especially Cyrus. They gave me a room connected to Cyrus's room so his face was what I first see every morning. The Closet that was empty became my computer room just like Cyrus's. My clothes were also from Cyrus. It kind of embarrassed me cause it felt like I'm a freeloader, but they always said that I share them informations so we can survive until now.
Everything almost seemed peaceful except for the noises outside. We got enough foods for 2 months. We got informations. We still got plenty of bullets and 5 guns. And we had Cyrus teaching us basics on holding a knife or dagger. Honestly it felt like a game but also not. I've kind of like this way more than my life before.
Right now, Cedric is cooking dinner while Cyrus, Me and Zoe are in my computer room. I've been hacking the system of some base around Philippines. It seemed that a there are a lot of survivors there especially in Mindanao.
I've been having a battle with a hacker with someone from Mindanao for 3 minutes straight, until eventually I stopped because of irritation.
I glared at my computer until a big hand ruffled my dyed white hair. Shifting my attention to Cyrus and Zoe that was laughing at me.
' How dare they! "
I glared at them, completely irrated. I punched Cyrus stomach out of anger.
" Pfttt!! I'm Sorry! I won't laugh anymore.... " he said. It's clear on his face that he was just holding his laugher back, the same with Zoe. I still glared even though I know it wasn't that effective. " Ok! Ok! Just stop pouting and glaring at us! "
Rolling my eyes, I looked back at my computer. Shocked to see a New face staring at us.
" WTF?! Who are you?! " I shouted
" Hehehe..... Hi? My name is Claire from Philippines.... " Well what an awkward introduction. " Ummmm... Sorry to interrupt your love dovey moment but I just want to talk with the one who hacked my computer. " she continued. Looking back at Cyrus and me. I felt heat rising to my face as she mentioned love dovey.
" We're not a couple!! " I shouted. " I-i mean w-we're just friends and if you're looking for t-the one who hacked you minutes ago, then it's me. " I explained, while averting my face from the eyes that are staring at me.
I heard giggles from the computer and from my side so I looked at them. I know I literally looked like a tomato now.
" OMG! He looks so cute~ " the girl named Claire complimented while looking at me. Which unfortunately, Cyrus agreed.
" Ikr! He's so cute~~ "
I looked at them after realizing on how they acted together. They literally seemed like Old Friends teasing a close friend.
" Hey! Stop that!!! You looked like close high school friends! And your gonna attract zombies if you laugh any louder! "
" Ok~ / Fine~ " They both said droopily.
" Now, we can talk Claire. "
" Oh right! I'm from the Philippines and as you should've guess. We have tons of informations to other survivors like you guys. We would like to trade some informations, to keep a friendship. But as of now, you're the only ones we contacted. The other countries denied our calls last time so I hacked your computer to this! " She started. It seemed that there are tons of survivors in each countries. Before continuing, she looked at us first to get some permission which was much to her relief that I accepted. " So we got some informations about the situation outside especially the zombies. We realized that after the Apocalypse started, That zombies body aren't the only things changing. Even the survivors bodies changed. It seemed to be more strengthened and powerful. You may have not noticed but it is true. " now that she said that. I do feel my body lighter than before.
I looked at Cyrus who was checking his and Zoe's body. When he nodded at me, I smiled at Claire.
" We need to ask our leader fir– " I was rudely cut off by Cedric who suddenly appeared on my door.
" No need. I agree. "
I stared at Cedric before turning my attention back at Claire.
" We agree. So let me properly introduce myself. I'm Adrien Davies. One of the hacker in the house. These are the house owners, Cedric our leader and Cyrus another hacker with this baby, Zoe. Now let's discuss about our trade and Friendship. Ms. Claire. " I said. Giving our new Friend my sweetest friendly smile.
