MorningCheleste's POV
I continue looking out the small square window. I can't even see because they blurred up the mirror so much. I could hear the rain from outside. The lack of furniture causing the rain only to be louder because of the echo. It was fucking annoying.
I stand up from the bed and go to pick up my journal on the small dresser across the room.
"Day 56," I continue on the last page I left off on. "I've gone insane staring out this fucked up window so I've officially made my mind. Today 07/26/3546 I'm escaping this place." I continue to write my plan and how I feel about everything I'm going to do today.After writing out my thoughts I close my journal and place it between my mattress and the floor. I'd hate for them to find it before I'm able to get out of this building. I take a few deep breaths before going on with my day. Then I knock on my room door three times, a signal to let the guards outside the door know that I'm ready to head to the showers. After a few minutes a young black guard who's seems to be a little older than me, 19, opens my door. He had the two towels in his hand. I push myself off the wall I was leaning against and begin to follow him out the door.
"So.." the guard begins to speak. "you getting used this place yet?" His tone is soft and almost caring. Yet, I feel as if I can't fall for it. It's a trap like always. They always end up trapping me. I continue to walk beside him not giving a response. "I guess that's a no," he sighs and opens the shower doors that we were now in front of. I take the the two towels from him and go inside.
My shower is faster than usual. The only thing I have on my mind is the plan I was hoping to execute today. After turning the warm water off, I grab my towel and dry myself off. I wrap the towel around my body then grab my dirty clothes I had just taken off. I place those clothes in the clothes basket and pick up a pair of the folded clean clothes on the other side of the shower room.
While putting on my clothes I hear a bit of a commotion outside of the shower room which causes me to speed up. I go to open the door but as soon as the door opens someone gets thrown right at me. I quickly move out the way and watch as his body hits the cold hard floor.
"WE TOLD YOU DONT MOVE!" Some other guard had yelled at him. Two other guards go to quickly tackle the boy on the floor. He tried to get up but the force was too much. "Fucking get off me!" The boy kept on yelling at the guards but they continued to sit on him.
"Take patient one nineteen to her room!" I hated when they called me by my number and not my name. The black guard from before went to grab my arm and follow his orders but I quickly moved away. "Don't touch me." I told him while taking two steps back from him. "I can walk by myself." He just stood there watching the scene before him just as I was.
The boy was still yelling and it was so irritating. But then I grew curious once I realized I never looked at his face while he was on the floor. I turned to him and we made eye contact. Before I could turn back around, I saw him grin and then I couldn't control myself. I grew a quick hatred for the guards on top of him and with all my might I took my fist and punched one of them in the jaw. I turned right back to the other guard and grabbed him, slamming his body on the floor.
The hatred went away after the boy got up and that's when it hit me. The boy probably had manipulation powers and used them on me. Before any of the guards could get up or do anything he had ran out of the room. "Fuck! Kacey go get him!" The older guard I had slammed on the floor was pissed. He looked at me as if he wanted me dead. "Get your ass to your damn room!" He yelled at me.
I gave him a stank face before turning towards the door and heading back to my room. That same guard from before was on the side of me. "Who's that?" I'd asked him. It was the first time I'd talked to him before. "Oh, so now you want to talk?" He said to me. I didn't reply just looked at him and rolled my eyes. "He's a new patient, Gio is his name I believe." He actually answered me. I hummed in response and watched as he opened my room door and let me inside. "Have a good day Cheleste." he said before closing the door. Him calling my name made me think for a second. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought he was.

AfternoonThe events from earlier this morning lingered in my head for a while. I grew bored again. I wanted to begin looking around and making sure that my plan could still be set in motion. I got up from my mattress I was laying on and went and knocked on my door twice. This signals that I have a question or just need to talk to a guard.
Again after waiting a few minutes someone opened my door. Unlucky for me, it was the guard I had slammed down earlier. "What do you want" his tone cold and harsh. I honestly just wanted to body slam him again right there. "Can I walk around or go into the gymnasium or even the cafeteria" I had asked as nice as I could in that moment but he wasn't convinced. "After what you did to me, ha" he laughed before going to close the door in my face. I quickly grabbed it and pushed it back open. "Hey! What the hell is your probl-" he stopped in the middle of his sentence and looked at me in horror. My eyes stared directly into his soul and I looked as if I was gonna kill him right there. I then repeated my question, this time I received a quick nod and he turned to lead me towards one of the areas.I followed behind him. The sound of our shoes hitting the floor was the only thing you could hear.
After passing most of the rooms and other areas, we had made it to the cafeteria. I scanned the room before I found my usual seat in the corner. I begin walking towards the seat but I realize someone's sitting in it. Usually I'd just let them have it but it was crucial for me to sit there today. I crept behind the person and placed two small taps on their shoulder. It was quite a surprise when I saw the same boy I saw this morning by the showers.
"Uhm , usually I'd ask you to move but ima just sit with you at the table." I told him which gained me a side glance and a scoff. "that's cool with me." He said. His voice was a little high and a little loud but it was fine I guess. "Hey ain't you the girl from this morning?" He asked me. I gave him a quick nod before saying "I didn't really give you permission to use your powers on me." He laughed a little but quickly apologized. "I'm sorry girl but I needed to get out of there, you just happened to be there." "My names Gio by the way" which I already knew but I continued with the greeting. "My names cheleste."
We had a good conversation about each other and other things as well. I found out that he was a gay 21 year old male. He ended up here because of someone blaming him for something he didn't do. He didn't say what though. He also let it slip that he had an escape plan and I had teased him and pretended I was going to snitch but I felt the trust so I told him I did too. We agreed to do it together and also stick with each other while we're in here.
The sound of a buzzer rang all through the building. "Lockdown time! Lockdown time!" The guards yelled at us. Even though it wasn't late, we were told to go to the rooms a little early everyday just so they have time to do extra things. I wrap up the conversation with Gio and head to my room.
When I got in my room I went to check under my mattress for my journal so I could write about my interaction with the boy. I begin to panic when I realize the book isn't there.
Did someone come in here. Everything else looks the same. What the fuck. Oh my god I'm not gonna get out of here.
Thoughts race through my head as I search the small room once again. It wasn't there. This plan was my last hope and now it was all going to go down the drain. I really am going to be stuck here forever.
AHHHHHHHH LMAOO
