The whole ride was shared in silence. Henry thought it was for the best... for now. Besides he didnt feel like talking at the moment. There were millions of things going on in his mind, good and bad things, and things that might probably best to keep for himself for awhile. He was too consumed in this grief that he hadnt even noticed the van stopped until David told them to get out. He handed them each of the same bags and then, just like that, sped away.

Henry followed the rest of the group, not really paying much attention to what they were doing, or where they were. He felt so hollowed inside he cant even start to describe. It doesn't matter what caused the emptiness, but that empty spot within himself stung so bad he wanted to find any kind of relief, or just wrap himself up so tight he cant feel it anymore.

Its as if his brain decided to turn itself off that he's willing to take anything just to get his body to function. So when a boy he only knew by face started to lead the group further within the forest, Henry didnt even thought twice to follow him. Other than feeling bad about the tragedy that happened to their town, he's got nothing else better to do. Besides, they could use someone who can lead, and whether that might be from the phone David gave him, Henry felt comfortable with idea of that boy leading the group.

He might not be as efficient as he used to be when he's not in his grieving self, but having nothing else to do, Henry tried his best to do what was asked, or what seemed logical to do at that moment. He joined the boy leader at picking up dried sticks for the fire. He would help with building the tents too, but he's too distracted and clumsy for that kind of work.

Soon enough there was a fire going, and the tents were all up. Henry saw some of the kids gathering near the fire, and around the 'leader', but as inviting the scene looked like, Henry thought otherwise to join them. The fire reminded him so much of what happened today, and that pain he couldnt still handle. So he went and sat a little further away, against a tree by the edge of the clearing, but just far enough to hear the conversations from the campfire.

Working at the diner taught him not to judge people by what they look like or by the things they do. Its what they say that matters the most. Because whatever it is, whether its the truth or a plain lie, what they say is a part of them. So he started observing everyone and made a mental note about who's potentially going to be on his "who to avoid" list.

That boy with his dog sure has his own way of expressing himself, a little rude for Henry's liking, but his instinct tells him that there is something more to that boy other than being, well, an asshole for one, so he's putting him on his "temporary avoiding" list. There wasnt much talking after his little antics, but after everyone was settled in around the fire, it was Michael DeLorenzo who broke the silence.

Henry knew him. How couldnt he? He's probably listened to Sheriff DeLorenzo tons of times talking about his son over his radio scanner that he probqably knew him more than anyone else in the group. Besides, who didnt know about the Sheriff's family anyway? Michael seem a nice guy, so he's not going in any of Henry's avoid lists. After him, some of the kids followed his step, and started introducing themselves.

Raphaela Cox. Henry's not sure about this one. She sound like a pretty tricky person, although what she only said was her name and what she was suppose to inherit like its really important for people to know. Henry personally didnt care. She goes to the temporary avoiding list.

The next who spoke up was Raven. Well, basing on her performance so far, she seem pretty at ease with her lonesome. It doesnt have to do with what happened with their home town, but she just prefers to be alone. She didnt said much aside from saying she doesnt have much to tell, so Henry's still not sure where to put her. Probably on the neutral list.

Leon didnt gave much about himself, but his name. Well, at least he knows his name now. Henry decided he'll know more about him soon enough. Not in any list.

And then, there's Lillah. Of course Henry knew her. She's been a regular customer at the diner. They had exchanged words a few times before, and she's been pretty nice to him. Although there's just something that he didnt trust about her, otherwise she's all good. Not going in any of his avoid lists either.

The last one who spoke up was Spencer. There's not much to be said about him aside from the fact that he looks a little nervous, or was that discomfort being in the group that Henry had seen in him? Well, whatever that was, he seem pretty harmless. He might even become a potential [i]acquaintance[/i], he used the word acquaintance because he's not ready to used the word friend yet. He's also not going to be in any list. 

Henry wanted to wait for everyone to speak up first, but judging by the long pause, no one will probably be speaking for a while until someone breaks it again for them. [i]Whatever.[/i] "Henry." Henry offered, mustering all his courage to speak up, "Its Henry." He said a little louder so they could hear him from the distance. "My family owns a small diner near the local High School. My mom runs the place most of the time." He said. Henry decided to leave everything else for himself.
