I've literally just gotten up, I hear the door buzz and unlock then I watch two girls walk into the room.
The red haired girl screeches walking over to her bed putting down the things she's carrying.
'Oh my god Allison have you never heard of shutting the hell up' the bleach blonde girl does though, her eyes are currently fixated on me.
The redhead looks over her shoulder slightly at the blonde, her hair whipping over her shoulder
'what the fuck? What you gawking at?' She asks
'Err your roommate' the red head girl turns to where the other bed is, where I'm currently sitting, her face lighting up from a frown.
'Oh hey, welcome to the hell hole' she laughs at her own joke, I don't understand what she means.
'I'm so sorry about that, I'm April, your roommate by the way and this is Allison' she smiles brightly at me, I give a small smile back.
Making friends has always been my down point. I've always found it hard with girls.
'I'm Hope' I mumble quietly.
'So what did you do to get sent here?' April asks. I don't really want to tell them but I don't want to be rude by not answering.
'Got arrested for a bunch of offences, the judge referred me here, what about you guys?' I ask. April laughs and smiles forcefully, then says
'My parents sent me here, was kicked out of school twice and they'd had enough. I've been here for a year' when she finishes speaking Allison joins the conversation.
'I smashed my mum's house up, she got me arrested and told the police she didn't want me to come home, she dropped the charges but said it was the care system or boarding school, the only place that had space was here, I've been here for nearly six months' she says sadly.
'Shit.. do you still speak with her?' I ask curiously,
'Yh it took a few months, I was angry to begin with but I now understand she didn't really have much choice but now she's found me a new school to go to, I'm leaving in a few weeks'.
We actually sit and talk for hours, We actually all get along really well. They've run me through the most important rules, Mr Tiz had already explained some earlier but the girls enlightened me on what secure is and what to do when the alarm goes off then they informed me on the types of punishments there are. There's not much, detention and secure are the main ones used.
I'm pissed that I can't leave though, not even during holidays unless the judge agrees, despite the little hope that i had when they said this the girls then told me it never happens, there's only one other person here that's on a court order and his not been home in 3 years. It sucks!
The bell goes at 7pm for dinner, we get up off the beds and walk down to the bottom floor, we walk down the hallway and turn right at the end, there's a hall.
Rows of tables with plates fill the space. We take our seats. The chairs are free to move but the tables are bolted to the floor.
'Where's the food?' I ask questioningly.
'They bring it out at 5 past, today were being punished, we get chicken soup, it's normally a buffet though' I huff. That's not food! This isn't fair!
'What the fuck do you mean punished! Punished for what? I've just got here!' I shout as the girls both shush me. Clearly not wanting to attract attention. There's multiple security officers here.
'It doesn't matter if you've just got here, we get punished as a block if anyone gets caught outside after curfew, those three girls over there got caught outside last night' April points at them.
I get up, the girls try to grab me but I shake their arms off. I walk straight across to the girls that April said were caught outside. This shit meal is their fault!
'Whose idea was it to go out last night' I ask menacingly. The girl on the left and the girl on the right both look at the girl in the middle. The girl in the middle smirks mockingly. There actions speak louder than words.
My hands are twitching, balling in and out of fists, the mocking smirk is driving me insane it's all I can focus on. I see red! I pull my fist back and punch the girl smirking in the nose, causing her to let out a high pitch scream as blood pours from her nose.
An alarm goes off and security officers barrel straight into me. There's got to be at least four grabbing at my arms and legs trying to restrain me, I'm resisting! I don't care right now, I'm wriggling, bucking and my arms are flailing wildly, I'd do anything to get them off me.
The officers manage to pin me to the floor in the end, One's leaning on the bottom of my back. It's gone dead silent in here, A few minutes later there's the sound of rushed footsteps.
Mr Tiz appears in the door way, his eyes scanning the room until they fall on me, then he scowls.
'Get her out and put her in secure' Mr Tiz shouts.
I'm dragged up by multiple hands then picked up and carried out. I can see everyone laying on the floor quietly with their hands on their heads as I'm carried past.
I'm carried out of the building and back into the school. They carry me through the doors leading to where I came in.
They take a right then I'm thrown unceremoniously into a cell, As soon as I'm free I scamper to my feet but it's too late. The door closes and the room goes dark.
There's a little sliver of light coming through a tiny window, I can just about see a toilet in the corner and a board as a bed.
I lay down on the board, tapping my foot to keep my thoughts at bay. How long will I be in here for?
