"#106 this is #23." One of the guards said.

The girl walked in and  sat at the edge of the bottom bed of the two bunks avoiding eye contact. Eventually she gained the courage to say,

"Hey! I'm #23, who are you?" I glared at her

"You heard the the guard idiot" I said

"Oh..." she said loosing a bit of the pep in her voice. "So then your 106 right?" she said all the enthusiasm back 

"DON'T CALL ME THAT" I yelled. After that we sat in silence like before

"Well that's what you said the guards called you and-"

"SHUT UP" after that she said something under her breath

"What?" I questioned

"N-nothing" she squeaked

"I was just wondering..... if you don't want me to call you..." I stared into the depths of her soul through her eyes asking  'will today be your last day on Earth?'. Clearly I freaked her out. Good.

"Then what should I call you?" I thought for a moment, we were forbidden from giving out our real names in case we started something. No one knows why that's a rule but it is.

I could feel the cameras burning into the back of my head watching my every move

"Call me Phe" I stated quickly hoping it would go un-noticed.
