The Strangers

Chapter 15

Clem's P.O.V

He was really mad at me. I decided to go talk to Alvin about this, at least Alvin liked me. I went to his room and knocked on the door.

"Come in." He said.

"...hi..." I said quietly.

"Oh, hey, clementine. What's up?" "Well I wanted to talk to you. Luke is really mad at me. I went outside this morning and a walker landed on top of me. He pulled it off, but he almost bit him. I killed it, though. He hates me now."

"Oh, Clementine, I can assure you, he doesn't hate you."

"You're wrong. I know he does. Last time I talked to him, his eyes were filled with anger. I could tell. He hates me."

Luke's P.O.V

I was walking to tell Alvin something when I heard Clementine. I stopped right next to his door.

"You're wrong. I know he does. Last time I talked to him, his eyes were filled with anger. I could tell. He hates me."

She told Alvin. She thinks I hate her? I walked away and sat on the couch. She walked out of Alvin's room. She glanced at me.

"Hey, Clem. Can.. Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Okay.." She said softly.

"Why do you think I hate you?"

"I don't think you hate me. I know you hate me. It's obvious. I could tell when you told me not to go outside."

"Clem, I don't hate you. I'm just worried about you. That's all. I wanna make sure you're safe at all times." "You're just covering yourself. I know you hate me. And nothing you say will change my mind." She walked away.

Clem's P.O.V

Luke's face softened as I walked away. I think he felt bad. I heard him get off the couch. He was following me. I walked to the door. He put his hand on the door before I could walk out.

"No. I thought I told you I didn't want you outside."

He looked mad again.

"That was a test to see what you would do. If you got up and yelled at me, it would've proved you hate me. Case closed."

I walked away.
