The sounds that the chains were making on the other inmates wrists and ankles were heard through the halls. Yes chains, inmates, jail and no I'm not a worker there. I'm an inmate as well, well for the next ten hours I will be. I ended up here because I was caught with a weed pipe, weed, lighter and a vape. Lately life has been hectic, my mom ended up in jail after the divorce between her and my dad, or Micha. No one in our family wanted to take me in so I ended up in foster care. I tried telling the social workers that Micha is my dad, Micha Littman and to just check my birth certificate. They said that they would look into it but as it turns out, Micha wasn't listed as the father, a guy named Mark Trevino was listed as the father. I still keep in touch with Micha, when I told him what was going on he got mad at Ashley, my mom.

So that's why I'm not with Micha, that's why I've moved home to home to home, went to jail, smoked, all the stuff I never used to do. Of course my dad knows about my struggles. As I'm walking down the long line, I look behind me and see two people in the line that I recognize.

"I can't believe Paula called the cops.", I heard a familiar voice, sounded like my friend Shelby.

"Haha, It was worth it birthday girl.", another person spoke drunkenly.

I recognized that voice, I started walking slower to get to the people I recognized, Mandi and Shelby. Once I got to them they continued talking about how their night was a thriller.

"Did you see what David did though?", Mandi asked

"No, what did he do?", Shelby asked.

"He proposed to Vanessa.", Mandi mentioned.

Now there's two names I don't recognize, David and Vanessa. They continued talking on and on until suddenly this girl that likes to try and fight me came up to me.

"Abby.", she annoyingly called out my name.

"What?", I rudely asked.

She grabbed the collar of my shirt and pushed me against the wall. Great, now Shelby and Mandi know I'm back. I didn't want anyone to know until I got to school.

"Abby?", Shelby called out my name with a surprised tone, Mandi looked towards my direction.

"Dacota? Get your hands off of her!", Mandi yelled.

Dacota didn't flinch, not a single muscle, but Dacota doesn't know Mandi's fighting skills. Mandi walked up to Dacota and grabbed her wrist.


"I said get your hands off, or do you not understand English?!", Mandi yelled.

Dacota stepped back and kicked me in the abdomen. I wrapped my arms around where she kicked as I ended up on the floor, Shelby rushed to my side and helped me up. Mandi was gonna go run after Dacota but Shelby stopped her.

"Hey, let's get you up.", Shelby said as we walked to our cells.

"Littman, I suggest you watch your back, these inmates get jealous when people get out.", Sheriff Liz Forbes said.

Sheriff Liz is my favorite person in the facility, but she thinks I can change. Stop the smoking, the running, stealing and pawning the stolen items.

"Of course, sheriff.", I replied.

"And I better not see you in this place again.", she warned.

"I don't know about that. I'll check in with you after foster home #100.", I joked as I entered my cell.

Once I walked in, I saw Mandi in the cell. I was wondering what happened with my roommate. Did she get released, or put in solitary confinement.

"So what got you in jail,'' Mandi asked.
