The Rise Of The Undead

New Day (Part Two)

The Undead #Five

I'm not even shitting you, it was one of those moments where you see on TV that the new kid walks late into a classroom and everybody stop what they're doing just to stop and look at you. I almost peed myself and ran away.

I shrank back behind Nichole as I looked around and saw that all the girls were at least twice the size of me and so scary I feel I'll pass out from the fear. I'm talking 6'5, tattoos covering everything but their face, scowls imprinted on theirs faces, missing teeth. The list goes on and on.

Looking around and looking fear in the eyes only makes me miss home even more. I could be laying in the sun listening to the radio murmur in the background while I enjoy a book. Or I could be having a water gun fight with Jesse and Ryan, (yes we still do that.) Maybe watching the clouds roll by with Katt in our secret meadow. Anything peaceful that will bring me away from my awful reality.

But of course, Nichole doesn't even hesitate, she just walks off to a nearby court and picks up a basket ball like she owns the place. Hey her cuffs are off!

'And so are yours! And you wonder why I call you dumbass!?' That rude voice yells at me again.

I look up at Nick and he gives me a pity smile just as he puts my cuffs in his back pocket then walks out the gate then shuts and locks it.

I look around again and realize that not one person is looking my way anymore. Maybe it won't be so bad after all.

A shove snaps me out of my frozen state and almost knocks me over. "Hey watch it!" A deep women's voice booms in my ear.

I turn to go apologize but come face to chest with someone. I look up to meet this giants glare and smile nervously. She has a tattoo right beside her eye but other then that her body looks as bare as mine. If you don't count the two I have. "Oops, sorry. Didn't see you there." I try to say calmly but my voice comes out squeaky.

"Yeah whatever." She shrugs then walks away.

Hope rises in me and I smile. Maybe it really ISN'T that bad here!

I smile and shrug, then walk over to Nichole with a small skip in my step. She takes a shot in the net and misses it. I run in front of her and snatch the ball from the air. I then take a shot and sink it. I turn around and stick my tongue out at her then grab the ball off the ground as it rolls by my feet.

She points at the ball rested in between my hip and forearm. "Hey, I never said I was good at basketball!"

I snort then raise an eyebrow at myself as I realize I sounded exactly like my mother right there. I give my head a shake when I come to a decision that today I will NOT think about home at all. "Clearly." I sing.

She rolls her eyes and is about to retort but is cut off when a 5'9 girl with bleach blonde hair bumps into her almost knocking Nichole off her feet. She turns to Nichole and puts her hand over her mouth in 'surprise'. "Oops sorry, didn't see you there."

"Why don't you fuck off Jules." Nichole waves her off.

The girl that Nichole called 'Jules' takes a step towards Nichole and gets right in her face. Nichole looks down to avoid eye contact. "Why don't you look me in the eyes and say that again Nichole." She sneers.

Nichole looks up and glares right into her eyes. Even I flinch at Nichole's harsh glare but Jules doesn't even blink. "Why. Don't. You. Fuck. Off. Jules!?" Nichole growls getting closer and closer to Jules face until they are close enough to kiss. Not that that would happen so probably they could get a good head but in there.

Jules starts to moves forward with her hands out, pushing Nichole back slightly. "You wanna know what Nich-"

"Hey, leave her alone." I yell, cutting her off. My hand slaps over my mouth as she turns slowly to glares at me from across the court, while Nichole looks at me in shock and fear.

She turns her body to me then slowly makes her way over to where I'm standing. My heart beat increases with every step she takes closer to me. Usually outside of here I wouldn't even react to girl like this, but it is so much different when you're in jail.

She gets as close to me as she was with Nichole. "I think you need to mind your own fucking business." Jules growls.

My eyes go wide and I can't seem to come up with an answer. "I-I-I... I umm..." I stumble over my words but can't actually spit out a full sentence or explanation.

I hear loud footsteps as Nichole comes and pushes Jules away a couple feet from in front of me. "Lay off would you!? It's her first day." Nichole exclaims, standing slightly in front of me in a protective way.

Jules smirks and takes a small step closer, not even affected by Nichole's shove. "Oh, fresh meat?" She asks smiling innocently at me.

"I said lay off!" Nichole lifts her left arms and punches Jules square in the nose. I almost gag when I hear the defined crack that echoed off her face then her loud scream.

"You bitch! You broke my nose!" She screams bending over as blood drips off her chin and onto the cement below our feet.

My jaw drops and I stare wide eyed at Nichole when she just shrugs and walks away, towards the gate back into the building. My eyes jump back and forth between panicky Jules and nonchalant Nichole. I mean I feel bad for Jules, but I'm not sticking around for when she wants to hit someone back. So I scurry away from Jules and catch up beside Nichole.

Amazing! She's not even upset or scared! She just keeps on walking like she doesn't have a care in the world.

We keep walking until we get to the gate in a comfortable silence. Nick is standing there with a proud grin plastered on his face. "Good job Blue." He chirps while giving her a high five.

She returns his smile and his high five then holds her wrists out for him to put the cuffs around her them. After she gets hers on, I hold my wrists out too. "Thanks." She replies.

We walk back down the hallway and I smile, just listening to their conversation.

"Did you break her nose?!" He asks hopefully.

Her smile grows impossibly wider. "Oooh yeah!" And then we all break out in loud barks of laughter, making everybody in their cells turn to give us dirty looks.

When we arrive at our cell Nick unlocks it, then our cuffs, we still haven't calmed down.

"Seee ya Nichole and Shawn." He says then shakes his head.

"Wait!" I say, stepping closer to the closed cellar door. "How do you know my name?"

He smirks, AGAIN. "Your friend told me." Then he walks away without giving me a chance to respond.

I sigh smiling and turn around to see Nichole already getting comfy on her top bunk, starring at the ceiling in deep thought. "Hey." I say to get her attention, which it does. She looks at me and raises an eyebrow. "Thanks for what you did back there."

She smiles the brightest smile I've seen her smile yet and she response with a, "Course, that's what friends are for."
