Lazarus"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Elise asked, making me look at her. I sighed, knowing what I was going to say might anger her a bit. Hell, it was going to anger her so bad.But I knew I had to restrict her movements around the correctional center. At least, until she could fight decently. At the moment, she was weak, and couldn't hold her own yet against others.That was what I and the others had gone outside to discuss."You need to stop going around on your own," I began, waiting with bated breath for her reaction.I wasn't ready however, when she let out a chuckle."That's the same thing I'm saying, isn't it? You guys would protect me, isn't it?" She asked with gleaming eyes.I looked at the others, their eyes mirroring surprise which I knew was evident in mine. I cleared my throat, putting on a blank expression again. I had to be firm."That's not it." I said, and she frowned. Without giving her a chance to say a word, I continued. "We mean, yo

EliseI tossed and turned on the bed. I finally forced myself to a sitting position, and grabbed at my wristwatch which was lying on the bedside table.Glancing at the time, I winced. Did I actually sleep for twelve hours straight?! It was already two am in the morning, and I just woke up.The light breathing in the background, made me turn around, only to see the guys lying on their various beds.At the sight of their vulnerable sights, my heart warmed, and I actually forgot about my anger at them.Temporarily though. I made to scramble off bed, as noiselessly, as I could, and walked out of the room.The corridor was a bit dark as I walked along it, on my way outside. As I walked, I couldn't help but marvel at the decor of the correctional center.From the exterior, it didn't look one bit like a place where people were held for reprimanding. It was plain and modest though. But breaching it, into the center itself, was where the antithesis started.It was built in the shape

RoryThe morning dawned bright and clear. I took an early shower, and headed downstairs. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at all.My mood was totally in the dumps, and I felt like smacking the living daylights out of someone.I heard a loud noise downstairs, and ran down. Ever since that stuff happened to Elise at the bathroom, we had been keeping close eyes on her. Nothing bad could happen.When I got down, I saw two ladies at their fighting best.What the fuck was happening?I moved closer, and saw two girls shouting their lungs out, and clutching each other's hair.Rolling my eyes in disgust, I made to leave, when my eyes spotted a familiar figure.That girl...What was her name again? Jennifer!I paused and dipped my hands into my pocket while watching them.She was the one... The one who had talked with Elise at the gym few days ago.."You bitch! You really thought I would let you go scot-free, after slapping me, yesterday, didn't you?" The other girl screame

EliseI was seated on my bed, looking over a magazine, casually. Finding nothing interesting, I dropped it back on the bedside table, and hissed.It was already days since Lazarus brought up the ridiculous rule of grounding me. The frustration was already wearing off, and I began seeing reasons with him.However, I was still upset. At that , I heard a loud howl. The three friends rushed in, with a panicked look on their faces."Are you fine?" They asked, simultaneously."What happened?!" I made to stand up, but they stopped me."Stay back, it's dangerous outside." Lazarus instructed.Alternately looking at their faces, I could tell that something had happened. And I knew that arguing with them at that moment wasn't the best decision."I'll wait." I forced the words out.A knock at the door made everyone jolt. A head popped through the door, and I relaxed. "Jenny?" I whispered, looking at the petite lady who was looking at us with scared eyes."Come on in," I decided a

Rory"Can we talk?" I asked Thomas who was pacing back and forth the room.The silence was deafening, and the only source of noise was his heavy footsteps, thudding on the ground."We can." He said, after a while."I mean, alone," i gestured towards Elise who was scrolling through the phone she confiscated from me.Phones weren't allowed at the center...."What's wrong?" I asked Thomas once we were out of the room. I watched him closely, not wanting to miss his reaction."What do you mean?" He asked, evasively."I talked to Lazarus in the bathroom. Are the both of you seriously giving me the cold shoulders because of...what you guys saw last night?" I had wanted to act like all was fine.Act like I wasn't affected by whatever cold vibes they were both giving off. However, I knew I couldn't. "Does the both of you have something going on?" He asked, after a moment's silence."And what if I do? Is that prohibited?" I retorted, in total exasperation. I was getting fed up by how
