Jocelyn's POV

"Room 4. Wake up and get dress. Breakfast is in 10 minutes." Ms. Jackson said turning on the light in our room.

We all sat up in our beds. I looked at the time, it was 8AM. Ms. Jackson left and closed the door. I got up and put on my uniform. I had left it on top of my nightstand. I opened the drawer in my nightstand. I had put my actual clothes there. I also put my other uniforms there. I moved the clothes and looked in the bottom corner of the drawer, that's where I put my rings. I put them all on. I noticed I was missing one.

"No no no no" I said fast, but quietly.

"You ok?" Lavender asked walking toward me.

"No, one of my rings is missing"

"Was it an important one?"

"Yes, it's extremely important to me! I only take it off when showering or sleeping!" I said panicking.

"What's going on?" Rihanna said walking over.

"One of her rings is missing"

"Which one?"

"It's the last thing I got from my parents. My gang and my parents got it for me last year. It's really important to me." I said sitting on my bed trying not to cry.

"We're gonna find it" Lavender said sitting next to me.

Layla walked over to us. "I know who took it" she said quietly.

"Who?" Lavender asked.

"It was Kenna" she mumbled.

"How do you know?" Rihanna asked quietly.

"I think it was around 4 this morning, she got up. It woke me up. I watched her walk over to Jocelyn's nightstand and herd her open the drawer. I think she took something and she walked back to her bed. She placed something in her nightstand and went back to bed" Layla explained quietly.

"Kenna, can you come here?" Rihanna asked.

Kenna nodded and walked over.

"What's up?"

"Did you take Jocelyn's ring?"

"No?"

"Yes you did, I was awake when you took it" Layla said quietly.

"Fine! I took it. It was really pretty! I wanted it!"

"Kenna go get it and give it back to Jocelyn" Rihanna said.

Kenna rolled her eyes and walked to her nightstand. She opened one of the drawers and pulled out my ring. She walked over and handed it to me. I quickly took it and closed my hand. I opened my hand and put it on my finger.

"Kenna, you know you can't take things that aren't yours. In this room we have rules! You know that!" Rihanna said.

"It's not fair! She has everything! She's pretty, she has nice rings, a caring family, and good friends!"

I stood up and looked at her. "Is that how you all see me?" I asked.

Nobody responded. They just stared at me with an 'I'm sorry' look.

"Guess I have my answer" I mumbled. I walked out of the room. They followed because we did have breakfast. We walked into the dining room and sat at a table. I didn't want to sit with them, but I had no choice. After we got breakfast, I sat down at one of the seats, I wasn't that hungry though.

"Jocelyn, I'm sorry, but you have to understand where we come from. We all came from rough homes. Yes your still a greaser, but to us you look like the perfect Socs and we are the poor greasers" Rihanna said.
