I hate prison. Everyone here smells like shit. They're rude and mean and annoying. What really sucks is that they took my favorite lighter. I can't even be close to fire anymore. They made sure of that.

Right now we're all outside in the courtyard and everyone is doing their own thing. Some people stay with the friends they made. Others are lifting weights. And many of them are picking on the other girls. The new ones. Fresh meat.

They did that to me when I first got here. Now they leave me alone because I once went all crazy on them while we were eating. Someone tried to steal my pudding and I grabbed her arm and smashed her head on the table. She's fine though if anyone was wondering.

Our time out here is about to end. I hate going back to my cell. I'm all by myself in there. After I did that to that girl, they looked over my charges, and deemed me "too dangerous" for close contact.

I've been alone in my cell for 2 months. I miss being able to do whatever I want. I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I was just a normal girl. You know, someone who isn't obsessed with fire.

I wonder what my parents are doing right now. If they worry about me? If they think about me? If they even still love me? I mean their only child is in prison right now. They're probably not proud of me.

A loud buzzer sound is projected all throughout the prison. I don't know why they insist on making it that loud. Like I promise, we can hear it!

Back to my cell, I go. My life is so depressing. I go through the same routine everyday. The only thing that changes is working out. I try to stay fit and do an hour a day, but my laziness gets the better of me, and I end up laying in my bed all day.

I make it back to my cell and they lock it. I hear the small chatter of the other girls in their cells. I look around to see if I could do anything to keep myself busy, but I only see a clean cell.

I decide on taking a nap to pass the time. I lay down on my small bed and shut my eyes.

Let's hope that when I wake up it would be with a newfound energy.

"Nova, wake up." Someone says.

I stir in my sleep and slowly start to open my eyes. I see a guard and some women standing there. She's wearing a pantsuit and is carrying a briefcase.

She raises a perfect eyebrow, "Get up. We don't have much time. I'm on a tight schedule and I need to see 3 other people." She turns and starts to walk away.

I look at the guard and he nods towards her. I get up and quickly catch up to her. Then I almost eat shit because I was walking too fast. Luckily nobody saw it. I think.

Once I catch up to her I say, "Excuse me?" She glances at me for a second and continues walking.

"Who are you and why do you need to see 3 other people?" I ask.

"My name is Valentina Bonetti. I need to see 3 other people for business. And you, my darling, are the first one who was chosen. Consider yourself lucky."

"Chosen for what?"

"We will discuss that once I get the rest."
