By the time Mr Tiz comes back it's 11:30. I watch as the heavy doors open and Mr Tiz walks through, whistling to himself.
His eyes scan what's left of the group he left here. There's now eight of us, the numbers dwindled quite rapidly. After one person kicked off it was like a chain reaction.
'Considering how many there were of you, this is quite appalling' Mr Tiz mumbles to himself. I can hear him quite well as it's dead silent in here, We're all just watching him.
He steps forward and claps his hands.
'Right, you'll be having lunch early, follow me' he says then walks through us.
Max gets up and pulls me up with him. We walk hand in hand behind Mr Tiz. His footsteps are swift as he walks ahead, leading the way.
When we reach the conference room he swipes his fob and opens the door then he holds it open.
'Take a seat' 'come on, chop chop' he calls to us.
Max steps into the conference room dragging me in behind him. He pulls out the chair at the head of the table swiftly and falls into the chair, pulling me on top of him. He wraps his arms around me again then kisses my head.
I watch as everyone strolls in and takes a seat. Some are scowling as they walk through the door but Mr Tiz doesn't seem to mind.
When Mr Tiz closes the door he faces us.
'Unfortunately there's only eight of you left, you can thank your classmates for the extra food that will be brought in' he says chuckling. I don't understand why that's funny. Nobody else laughs with him.
'Right, well your lunch will be brought in, in a moment, feel free to eat. Your cells are being refurbished as we speak, you will be collected at 1pm and assigned a cell for the weekend' Mr Tiz explains.
'Are we going to be allowed out again?' Max pipes up from behind me. Mr Tiz looks max in the eyes.
'If you all behave then I don't see why not' max hums in response.
I hear Mr Tiz's radio go off. He walks over to the door and opens it. Holding the door open for the kitchen staff to saunter in, trays in hand.
The kitchen staff place the trays down in the middle of the table then they walk out.
I can see the trays are piled with food, plates, cups, jugs of juice and cutlery.
'Enjoy your lunch' Mr Tiz says as he opens the door and leaves us to it.
We all grab plates and pile on food. When we have our fair share we eat in comfortable silence.
When me and max are finished eating we start talking between ourselves.
'It's going to suck in secure' I say. Max pulls out a disk from his pocket and hands it to me.
'What's this?' I ask in confusion.
'I had an early music lesson this morning, Miss Lopez allows me to take extra lessons on Friday mornings before school, if I'm not in secure that is' max explains.
'What's that got to do with this?' I ask shaking the disk at him. He chuckles and explains
'It's my surprise for you, I made it' he says
'you can play it when your in secure, John found a CD player so you can use it'
'What's on it though? I ask curiously.
'You'll find out later' he chuckles.
Everyone has finished their food now so we're all just taking amongst ourselves.
When the door opens Curtis steps through with John and Dave.
'Boys you're with me, come along' Dave calls out.
'Hope and Lola you're with me' John says.
We all stand up and make our way over to John and Dave.
Before max can leave I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down for a kiss. We kiss for a moment before Dave clears his voice.
'That's enough Max, put the girl down' he calls curtly. Max chuckles and pecks my lips then walks out the door.
John now clears his throat.
'Come' he orders holding the door open. Lola steps out first and I follow behind. John closes the door then walks behind us. We know the way to secure so we take the route.
When we get to secure Curtis opens a cell for Lola. She steps inside then Curtis slams the door shut and locks it.
John walks me down a few cells then opens up a cell and escorts me inside.
'There's a CD player for you' John points out.
'Thanks John' I say smiling.
'Not a problem Hope, I'll bring you some books to read later' John informs then leaves my cell.
I lay down on the bed and watch as John shuts and locks up my cell. All I can think about is how max was right earlier when he said welcome to the hellhole. I laugh bitterly at the situation we're all now in for the weekend.
